How You Can Prepare This Holiday Season For The Pokemon GO Christmas & New Years Event
- Stocking Up On Phase 1 Egg Incubators: Keep note that Phase 1 Holiday Item Pack Gift Boxes contain Egg incubators at a discounted price. During Phase 2 Pokemon GO New Years Event when Niantic introduces 3 more NEW Holiday Gift Boxes they will NOT contain Egg Incubators, instead, they will have Incense, Lure Modules, Lucky Eggs, Regular and Great Pokeballs.
- Special Box – 250 | 2 = 125 per incubator
- Great Box – 550 | 4 = 137.5 per incubator
- Ultra Box – 1500 | 6 = 250 per incubator
- Keep Warm With A Buddy: You plan to be out and about using those free incubators, don’t forget to bring the best buddy Pokemon with you using a Buddy Tier List.
- Important: Don’t forget to bring some type of Phone Charging Device if you plan to be walking around for awhile. This may not be necessary if you play it smart and find an indoor location that allows for phone charging. normally places of business are not shy to offer Pokemon Go Players this service. Your Location is important during the New Years Event since you will want to be near a Pokestop at the very least.
- Plan Ahead of Time: Since you will be out you may want to find some time and look up local New Years Events, these will likely be filled with PoGo Players or at the very least lots of Lure Modules running 24/7.
