Niantic has just released the details on the end of year Holiday Event! It’s packed with a ton of Poke goodies! Trainers have been awaiting the long rumored holiday event for weeks now and it looks like it was very much worth the wait!
Increased hatch rates – Starting Christmas morning, December 25, 2016 through the afternoon of January 3, 2017 (PST) we’ll see increased egg drops and hatching rates for Togepi and other recently released Johto region Pokemon. To handle the increased egg hatching, Niantic is also increasing the incubator drops. “Pokestops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin.”
Holiday themed Poke’s will hang around for a while longer – Festive Pikachu will be around for a bit longer it seems.
This is where it gets better – Increased first partner Pokemon and their evolutions in the wild!! This means all the Kanto region originals will be more plentiful so if you’ve still not got a Bulbasuar, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, or a Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard; you certainly will after this event. These increased spawn rate items will run from the afternoon of December 30th, 2016 through January 8th, 2017 (PST). As well any lures you drop at Pokestops will be extended to 60 minutes instead of the usual 30 minutes.

So unwrap all your cool presents in the morning, then get out and enjoy the holiday event!!
