Pokémon GO's Eggs-pedition Access Ticket: A December 2024 Evaluation
Choosing wisely from Pokémon GO's numerous in-app purchases can be challenging. This December, the Eggs-pedition Access paid ticket returns for the Dual Destiny season, prompting the question: is it worth the investment?

Is the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD, nearly matching the ticket price. This alone makes the ticket worthwhile, especially for players who regularly purchase incubators. The added XP and gift bonuses further enhance its value.
However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the additional benefits might not justify the cost unless gift sending/receiving is a significant aspect of your gameplay.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
