Upcoming event, preparation

The ten day long event will go live in nite or ten hours from now.

So, how to cram out the most of it for the least effort?


There's no avoiding catching lots and lots of pokemon. It's after all a stardust event. This makes it appealing to stay put at a lure cluster, but that would be pretty suboptimal.

Since the current legendary doggie has pretty much overstayed its welcome in each region let's tone down the boss raiding for a bit. We want incubators for those coins instead.


At the start of the event shop two, or preferably three, incubators. Then get rid of all five kilometre eggs, and ten kilometres if you have them. You want to keep the non two kilometre eggs rotated as quickly as possible.

The infinite incubator should be perfectly fine for handling the special two kilometre ones. Five or more of those hatched per day should be easy to do, or say fifty for the duration of the event. That way you're pretty much bound to get something nice.


Cleaning out every other egg gains you an average of 2000 stardust per five kilometres walked per egg incubated. It's nothing to scoff at.


Unless you're already doing a lot of gym battles you should at least use friendly gyms as trash cans for the excess berries you're bound to amass while walking and catching.

Personally I'll kick down an extra gym or two. It's simply too boring just grinding stardust, and it's a more fun way to get rid of the potions and revives I'll collect while hatching eggs.

In short:

  • Stock up on a few incubators
  • Get rid of five and ten kilometre eggs
  • Hatch 2 kilometre eggs in the infinite incubator
  • Keep moving and don't get stuck by lure clusters
