Anniversary non-event longer than expected

The anniversary event, or more correctly non-event, doesn't end until July 24. Until then you have the opportunity to capture pikachu with Ash's baseball cap.

Well, that's about it.

Oh, there was an anniversary box.

1200 coins


  • 6 incubators
  • 2 premium raid passes
  • 6 max revive
  • 20 ultra ball

Unless you're living in the middle of nowhere this is an awful offer. I'm aware that the in game shop sells poke balls, max revives and max potions, but for players living in a city that's practically a scam. Avid users of PoGo plus might be interested in the poke balls.

At least you're not forced to buy the crap.

The anniversary box is for all practical purposes a loss of 100 coins. 6 incubators is 900 coins and 2 premium raid passes is 200 coins. Max revives and ultra balls have exactly zero value unless you're starved for poke stops and gyms.

Edit: This is not only a bad deal, it's a bloody awful design of a deal as well. When you spend a month hyping up the upcoming raids as the second coming, you just don't follow that up with an offer of a big pack incubators.


Last time we saw these package deals they got exchanged for new ones mid event. Let's hope this is the case here as well.
