Is the Paid Eggspedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators (December 3rd onwards), valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.
The ticket is worthwhile if:
- You frequently hatch eggs.
- You desire specific Pokémon from the listed eggs.
- You regularly purchase incubators.
However, if you rarely hatch eggs or the weather is unfavorable, the additional benefits might not justify the cost unless gift sending/receiving is a priority.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
