I gave up on this back in september just downloaded it again there im level 23.
Did i miss much? What do i need to know?

Toots · 17-04-2017 12:35AM

I'm getting mostly crap from these eggs for the event. They're all new ones because I emptied the egg bag in anticipation. Only good stuff I got was a Cydnaquil and a Chikorita from 5km eggs. Everything else was Rhydons, Abras (like 6 of them) and Slowpoke out of the 2km eggs.

Kavrocks · 17-04-2017 12:53AM

Apart from Shuckle and Miltank in 2km eggs (the only two in 2km eggs I need for the Pokedex) I think what you really want (at least what I do) are 5km and 10km eggs during the event. 5km eggs are hatching only Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile whilst 10km eggs are hatching Snorlax, Dratini, Larvitar, Porygon, Mareep and Chansey*.

I think it would be very interesting and good for the game if Niantic left egg distributions like this after the event. It would get me to spend some money on incubators instead of before when you walked 10km to hatch a Gligar, Sudowoodo or Mantine. At least now everything that is in 10km eggs is good and if I get crap from a 2km egg at least I only walked 2kms for it and not 10kms.

*There's no way of telling if this is definitive because not everybody who reports data cleared their eggs out beforehand but I feel this is about as trustworthy as we have until Niantic spills the beans.

Just finished a lucky egg run to make it to Level 33 - absolutely crap loot and 1 million xp til 34

rustledjimmies · 17-04-2017 04:28AM

It's all painful from here on. I've been level 35 since forever it seems. 1.5 million xp 35->36!

AMGer · 17-04-2017 08:09AM

2 million XP from level 36 to 37, and I've actually made a nice dent in it already. Only hit level 36 on Friday but I'm already 400k into it.
The really depressing thing to think is that you need 20 million total XP to hit level 40, so none of us are even halfway there yet!

I guess thats the point

MAX level should be unobtainable for causals, long term goal for normal players and a tough target to be for hardcore players.

Well the local cheater in our area just hit lvl 40 with one of his accounts..... there is a certain level of dedication. But that is just too much.

hdl · 17-04-2017 10:45AM

I ticked over to 35 last night, and even with grinding through double XP this week, I'd imagine I'll only hit a quarter of the way through to 36. Can't imagine ever hitting 40, and I've played every day since the beginning, so I can only imagine the time and effort that goes into reaching the top!

CraigM84 · 17-04-2017 11:37AM

240k away from level 34, was kinda hoping to 35 before the end of the event, got another 100 mon ready to evolve, thinking if i use my lucky eggs too ill be able to reach it before the end. Is it worth buying 8 lucky eggs for 250coins? got some for the early 20s lvls, might be worth having some spare for these later levels, but i dont feel the big push to reach lvl 40 anytime soon, as said above i see that as a long term goal, and will get there at some point. Ive been trying not to put 2k eggs into incubators, seems to be such a waste but havent been getting any other kinda eggs since the start of the weekend

matrim · 17-04-2017 12:04PM

Finally got a shiny magikarp but with an IV of around 60. Now the decision on whether to evolve or not.

AMGer · 17-04-2017 12:09PM

How feckin hard is it to get a 5km egg? Bloody hell - picked up three on Friday and only one since!

Still no Shiny Magi here and I'm getting through at least 10 Magikarp everyday

I evolved a 28iv one and don't regret it!!

Getting a steady stream of 5kms here but every single one of them is Totodile. Where are the Cyndaquil?! Hatched a Girafarig and a Lickitung from 2kms this morning, that's my two best hatches this event.

If he bots there is no dedication there.

Angron · 17-04-2017 03:06PM

Hatched a few not great things today, but then I hatched my first Tyrogue to make up for it a bit

RobbingBandit · 17-04-2017 03:11PM

Drowzy from a 5k egg, rabble rabble rabble.

5k was collected pre-event right? All I am getting from event 5ks are totodiles.

Duff · 17-04-2017 03:33PM

2k eggs today have been Lapras, Milltank, Grimer and another Togepi. Two 10ks were Porygon and Chansey which gave me 20 odd candies to feed my Blissey putting it near 3000cp so not a bad day so far.

Haven't got a Lapras from a 2km yet, think it's the only one I've yet to hatch from them.
Got a Porygon from a 10km this morning aswell - I hope the switch to the 10km is permanent - I'll take a Porygon over Pineco/Gligar/Mantine any day (need those candies for PorygonZ

)

cee_jay · 17-04-2017 05:41PM

Not a bad day today. Added 5 to the Pokedex to being me to 205 in total.
We Went to Newbridge and Naas. Caught enough Teddiursa to evolve Ursaring finally. Hatched Scyther to evolve Scisor. Hatched Shuckle. On way home managed to randomly catch Donphan and Snubbull in Citywest. Also caught a shiny Magicarp - finally!
Hatched a lot of 2km eggs today... from them got Tangela, Scyther, Rhyhorn, Grimer, Phanpy, Tyrogue (x2), Abra... among others.

hdl · 17-04-2017 06:15PM

Gym activity seems to be up today. Got a few Pokémon back to me, including this big guy, who had been guarding the bottom slot of a gym for the past two days

kev_s88 · 17-04-2017 06:54PM

finally decided to splash out and buy some incubators for the event as it is. Had nothing but 5k eggs in the bag. first couple hatched with junk and then along came Phanpy, Elekid and Magby. have 3 5km and 4 2km all about to hatch so fingers crossed i get some more good stuff.

Managed to pick up a wild Granbull and Wobuffet, and evolve Steelix, Politoed and Golem so all in all yesterday was a good day. Gonna head out for a while now and hatch the rest of the eggs. Hopefully pick up some 10km from the bag clear out

Fair point if he is already cheating in one way, he's probably cheating in others.

Sweet, I have a tiny Snorlax and he's been my buddy for the past 250+ km's. The big ones get hungry!

AMGer · 17-04-2017 07:03PM

Interesting post on Reddit - egg data since the Easter event launched - of 1144 eggs logged only 81 of them were 5km eggs ! That's 7% - pretty much that same % I've seen

tim3000 · 17-04-2017 07:36PM

Still need 8 gen 1 pokemon, Chraizard Arcanine Muk Dodrio Machamp Snorlax Golem and Dragonite? Have any of ye on here as team instinct filled the dex? I am trying to do it without spending anything

I've had 11% 5km eggs and 2% 10km eggs. I wish I was at the 5% for 10km eggs that posts data suggests. What is your 10km percentage as a matter of interest? Does anybody else have statistics on their egg distributions through the event too?

Irishbrick · 17-04-2017 08:56PM

I have hatched roughly ninety 2k eggs, exactly 8, 5k (five toto, two chikorita and one cyndaquil) and got my first ten K this morning, followed by a second straight after, and now have two 10K, two 5K, four 2K and a free space!

Rooy · 17-04-2017 09:08PM

Hatched Bulbasaur , Tangela ,Pineco ,Shellder ,Scyther ,Misdreaaus Girafarig ,Phanpy from mostly 2k eggs today
Girafarig was new to Pokedex for me.
...and my phone fell off buggy and screen smashed , expensive egg walk ..
