Pokémon GO is changing the egg pool! They announced that you will now find different Pokémon in the eggs. What we know so far, we will tell you here.
How are the Pokémon changing? Niantic has already provided some examples regarding the respective eggs. You will find some baby Pokémon now in 2 km eggs. The 10 km eggs will contain shinies and rare Pokémon from the 4th generation.
Every change is not yet known, as the eggs will only change today, on May 26, at 10 PM. All eggs that you receive by then will include Pokémon from the old egg pool.
What we know about the changes to the egg pool
What Niantic announced: In their announcement, Niantic mentioned several Pokémon that can now hatch from the eggs. These include:
- 2 km eggs: Chelast, Panflam, Plinfa, Mobai
- 5 km eggs: Tragosso, Wadribie, Bamelin, Charmian, Bronzel, Pionskora, Glibunkel
- 10 km eggs: Flunkifer, Absol, Sheinux, Koknodon, Schilterus, Riolu
What is strange about the announcement: Niantic presents the changes to the eggs, but many of these Pokémon were already present in the mentioned eggs. So all the mentioned Pokémon were already included in the 10 km eggs. They are not new.
Likewise, the 3 starters of the 4th generation have been in the 2 km eggs for some time now.
This change is surprising: For a long time, all baby Pokémon could only be found in the 7 km eggs. If Mobai is now in the 2 km eggs, then something is changing here. Whether more babies will also transition to the 2 km eggs is not known.
Will more changes be made to the eggs? The developers confirmed that there will be further changes. One can certainly expect that Niantic will change more Pokémon in the eggs. The changes mentioned so far are not really new.
What players hope for: Many trainers hope that the mentioned changes are not the only ones. There is especially hope for new Pokémon.
“All I want is to hatch a Kaumalat. I have been waiting forever for Knakrack!”, writes artisticnouveau on Reddit.
So Kaumalat is indeed a big wish of many players in the new eggs. It evolves into Knakrack and thus becomes one of the best Pokémon of the 4th generation.
Besides Kaumalat, many other new Pokémon are also wished for: “Kaumalat and also the whole rest of the 4th generation!”, says BipPapi.
Many players also hope that Riolu will now become more common in the eggs, as this Pokémon is still missing for many trainers. Until now, Riolu has been very rare in the eggs.
Niantic also announced the research breakthroughs for May and June:
