A special Easter event is about to begin in Pokemon Go. (Niantic)
An Easter event has just been announced in Pokemon Go.
According to Niantic, the Easter event, which they’re referring to as an “Eggstravaganza,” begins today, April 13th, at 1:00 p.m. PDT. It lasts for one week, concluding on Thursday, April 20th, at 1:00 p.m. PDT.
So what does the event entail? Well, for the next week, a greater variety of Pokemon can be found in 2km eggs, which presumably means that some Pokemon that would normally take 5km or 10km to hatch can now be obtained much quicker. Niantic might also mean that some Pokemon that currently can’t be hatched at all will be added into the 2km egg pool.
Plus, players will earn more candy for every egg that is hatched during the next week.
In addition, there will be double XP during this event, and Lucky Eggs will be available in the game store for half off. If you combine a Lucky Egg with the double XP bonus, that means you can earn four times the XP as normal during this Easter event.
This is the latest special event to take place in Pokemon Go, with the most recent one being the Water Festival last month in honor of World Water Day. Before that, Niantic had held special events for Valentine’s Day, New Year’s, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween.
Here’s the full announcement of the Easter event courtesy of Niantic:
