With the new “Season of Light”, the egg pool in Pokémon GO has also been adjusted. And especially the 10 km eggs have received a good upgrade, trainers find.
New monsters in the eggs: If you look at the currently possible monsters from 10 km eggs, it becomes clear that the options have been shuffled a bit. Two newcomers in the 10 km eggs stand out in the “Season of Light”:
- Galapaflos
- Flapteryx
Both can now be obtained at the lowest rarity level of the 10 km eggs. And this should be good news for collectors, as the two were among the rarest monsters in Pokémon GO.
Now more players should have the chance to get both monsters – and even the shiny version is available.
In addition, there are a few adjustments: Lin-Fu, Milza, eF-eM, and Miniras have all moved down one rarity level. However, there are now only three rarity levels for the 10 km eggs.
The pool now looks like this (possible shinies are marked with an asterisk*)
- Rarity Level 1: Galapaflos, Flapteryx, Lin-Fu, Wuffels
- Level 2: Milza, Psiau, eF-eM
- Level 3: Riolu, Viscora, Miniras
Level 3 shows the Pokémon that are the rarest. The Pokémon from Level 1 hatch more frequently from 10 km eggs.
Additionally, it’s noticeable that some monsters can no longer hatch from 10 km eggs.
Trainers are happy about egg upgrade – are the right monsters gone?
These monsters are leaving: Four monsters have completely disappeared from the 10 km pool:
- Ohrdoch
- Emolga
- Geronimatz
- Flampion
In the Pokémon GO subreddit, some trainers are discussing the change. Especially the farewell to Ohrdoch and Emolga is easy for most, as they provide little utility in the game once hatched.
Geronimatz and Flampion also now have little rarity value, although the latter still counts among the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO.
Notably, in the comments, some trainers would have liked to say goodbye to Lin-Fu as well – they apparently have had enough of it by now, especially since it can be obtained quickly in the battle league. Overall, the pool change is well received:
- “Yes, no more Emolga! Finally,” a trainer is happy (via reddit).
- “Actually a good change,” finds Uster “SilverBeldum1” (via reddit).
- “That’s pretty great! I don’t need Lin-Fu or Psiau, but this still feels like a significant upgrade overall” (via reddit).
- “This is probably the best 10 km egg selection they have ever had” (via reddit).
Overall, the 10 km egg now mostly contains Pokémon that are at least somewhat rare. Riolu has been around for a while, but as Lucario one of the most popular and best attackers in the game.
Monsters like Wuffels, Miniras, Milza, eF-eM, and Viscora may still be missing from the collections of some trainers – just like the two fossils.
