Niantic introduces the so-called Strange Eggs to the game, which require more steps to hatch and have special features. All the details.
Niantic has introduced the Strange Eggs for Pokémon GO. After several years with the current 2, 5, 7 and 10 km format, the company has decided to give a twist to the type of creatures that we can get through to hatching. Now, it is done through a temporary event related to Team GO Rocket. Let’s find out all the details of this October special investigation for all Trainers.
Strange Eggs Special Investigation Date and Times – Team GO Rocket
According to the company, from this Monday, October 12 at 22:00 (CEST) until next Tuesday, October 20 at 07:00 (CEST), we can begin to meet Strange Eggs in Pokémon GO. According to the investigations of Coach Spark, a series of creatures will hatch from the 12 km Eggs, which require 2,000 more walking meters than the previous ones, the 10 km ones.
Specifically, Spark’s research anticipates that Poison, Sinister-type Pokémon and those that acquire one of those types after evolving will be susceptible to appearing in this new category of Eggs. To highlight, Larvitar, Scraggy, Trubbish and Vullaby, among many others.
How do we get a 12 km Strange Egg?
To get a 12 km Pokémon Egg we will have to defeat a Team GO Rocket leader. Then, they will give us an Egg of this type, so there is no choice but to put it in an incubator or Super Incubator (allows Eggs to hatch 1.5 times faster) and walk the required distance.
Details to highlight:
- It is essential to have free space in our inventory of Eggs before facing Sierra, Cliff or Arlo; if not, we will not be able to store it. further
- All the Eggs that we hatch in incubators during the event will require a quarter of the distance (25%) of normal to hatch.
Team GO Rocket, Giovanni and the return of Dark Mewtwo
Team GO Rocket will be seen more frequently than normal (both in the PokéStop environment and on its balloons). A new special investigation is triggered, so it’s important to speak with Professor Willow for all the details. The final battle will be, as usual, against Giovanni.
- Poison and Dark-type Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. For example, Spinarak, Houndour, Poochyena, Gulpin, Stunky, Purrloin, and more.
- Finally, we learned that the Team GO Rocket recruits are now using the following Dark Pokémon: Diglett, Shellder, Slowpoke, Aerodactyl, and Skarmory. Team GO Rocket leaders have also changed their teams and now use Growlithe, Dark Drowzee, and Dark Omanyte. We may find some of them in shiny form in the wild.
- Giovanni, for his part, recovers Dark Mewtwo. It is the first time that Dark Mewtwo is available in Pokémon GO outside of a special investigation, which was exclusive to Pokémon GO Fest 2020. Once the event is over, we can find Giovanni with Mewtwo and more dark Pokémon piloting the Team Go Rocket balloons .
