In Pokémon GO the overhaul of the egg pool is due tonight, October 12th. After months, there will finally be a change. We’ll show you the hopes of the trainers.
Update on 12.10 at 15:00: Leaks already show a new teaser image from Niantic. It features red eggs and the purple mist known from Shadow Pokémon.
It’s quite possible that Shadow Pokémon will soon appear in a new type of eggs. However, keep in mind that this is still a leak and has not yet been posted by Niantic.
This was announced: On Twitter, Niantic kept their announcement quite brief. The developers speak of new and exciting changes, stating: “It looks like various Pokémon will soon hatch from eggs!”
So, we can look forward to a revised egg pool. However, the question is how extensive the adjustments will be.
These are the hopes trainers have for the new egg pool
This is how the news is received: There are numerous reactions to Niantic’s announcement. Several hopes are expressed by the players.
The biggest wish would likely be revised 7-km eggs. After all, while there are different event Pokémon, you mainly find Galar and Alola Pokémon there. The chance of baby Pokémon is therefore not present, and these eggs are quite monotonous.
Another big wish is improved 10-km eggs. Trainers are particularly bothered by the Pokémon Feebas in those eggs. Jack Newell writes on Twitter: “10-km eggs contain significantly too many Feebas or other rubbish.”
In general, there is a wish for the bad Pokémon to disappear from the eggs, making room for rarer and stronger Pokémon. Shiny Surskit is frequently mentioned here – Surskit is indeed in the 10-km eggs, but is extremely rare there.
What could the adjustment look like? Realistically, Niantic is unlikely to remove all the bad eggs and instead will make the really rare Pokémon significantly more common.
In the past, it was such that some bad eggs were replaced by other weak Pokémon. For example, Dratini and Larvitar were removed from the 10k eggs. Instead, Feebas was made significantly more common.
Now, for instance, Feebas could be removed, but another Pokémon could be found much more frequently in the 10k eggs.
The likelihood of suddenly encountering Surskit or Dratini very frequently is probably low.
Nevertheless, we can look positively at the adjustment, as there is finally something happening with the egg pool. This is what MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff has wished for:
