Tips

Hatch any existing Eggs before the event starts to empty your Egg storage. 2 km Eggs will drop more frequently from PokéStops during the event.

With 1/2 Hatch Distance, using a Super Incubator means 2 km Eggs hatch after just 500 m.

Use the 2× Hatch Candy bonus to stockpile Larvesta candy in advance (Volcarona needs 400 Candy to evolve).

Magby evolves into Magmortar (Fire attacker) and Larvesta into Volcarona (Bug/Fire attacker). Secure good-IV specimens.

The free Timed Research rewards an Incubator and XP. Complete it by 17:00 on the event day.
