The Lunar New Year event is running in Pokémon GO and you can find special Pokémon in the 7 km Eggs. The Egg Pool has been thoroughly cleaned up for this. We will show you if the Eggs are worth it.
Here’s what’s new about the Eggs: In line with the Lunar New Year, there are many red Pokémon in the 7 km Eggs. However, almost all Pokémon that are not red had to disappear from the Egg Pool.
Now you will only find 8 different monsters in the Egg Pool. We will show you if the special Eggs are worth it.
The new 7 km Eggs are that good
These Pokémon are included: The 7 km Eggs are actually reserved for baby and Alola Pokémon, but that’s different in the current event. So there are:
- Riolu
- Vulpix
- Flampion
- Tarnpignon
- Karpador
- Pottrott
- Magby
- Waumpel
Except for Riolu, all these Pokémon are red and fit the event. Many of them can also be found in the wild.
You can find the list of other Egg Pools here.
Is this Egg Pool worth it? There are two major highlights with Riolu and Flampion. In return, the rest of the Egg Pool is quite weak and most of it often appears in the wild.
Flampion is definitely an incentive to hatch. This Pokémon is not available in the wild; it can only be obtained through the Eggs. Flampivian is currently the best Fire attacker in the game and a good Flampion is worth it.
Riolu is the best fighting attacker in the game. A good specimen of that is worth it too.
So is hatching worth it? Anyone investing in the 7 km Eggs and even using purchased incubators should be prepared to be disappointed. Walking 7 kilometers to get a Karpador or Tarnpigon, which are currently found everywhere, can be frustrating.
However, there are also two important highlights that cannot be obtained in any other way. Whether the purchased incubators are worth it should be decided by each person themselves. But one should also consider that after the event, Flampion and Riolu will still be available in some ways. The incubators might be more worthwhile then.
How long will the Eggs stay like this? The Egg Pool will likely change with the end of the Lunar New Year. The event ends on February 3 at 10 PM. Until then, you will continue to find the red Pokémon in the 7 km Eggs.
If you want lucky Pokémon, you should take the chance now:
