Christmas event, part two

More starter mons

The stiff week, December 30 to January 8, with increased spawn rates for starter mons and their evolves will soon be upon us.

This opens up a splendid opportunity to max out that elusive final evolve. The relative spawn rates until now depends on location. For example here in Gothenburg squirtles are comparatively common, but charmanders and especially bulbasaurs are a rare sight.

With this new event you should be able to build whichever of the three evolution-trees you currently deem a hopeless pipedream to achieve.

So now everything is just happy smiles?

Well, no.

If 'increased spawn rates' means everywhere being packed to the rafters with starter pokemons, especially during the period December 30 through January 3, when pika with a hat still is around, then you'll really see them everywhere.

How often do you lob a red ball after the Christmas pikachu? Now multiply that situation by four. Add the first and second evolves to the equation and you'll soon run out of pokeballs.

It's time to save up a healthy stock of berries. You'll use them all the time. In fact you're likely to run out of them, which would suck when you run into some big game like lapras or snorlax. Well it would suck if you encounter a sweet enough final evolve as well.


Package deals

The current package deals in the shop are likely to change with the new year. It seems the incubators will be replaced by lucky eggs and lure modules.


Longer lures

Also, for a limited time, probably keyed to the time-slot for the new package deals, lures will last a full hour rather than thirty minutes.
