Halloween event, package deals

This event comes with the three package deal boxes we've come to be accustomed to since summer.

Special Box:

  • 480 coins
  • 5 Incense
  • 6 Premium raid pass
  • 10 Pinab berry

Great Box:
  • 780 coins
  • 7 Incense
  • 4 Super incubator
  • 3 Premium raid pass
  • 10 Razz berry

Ultra Box:
  • 1480 coins
  • 12 Incense
  • 6 Super incubator
  • 6 Lucky egg
  • 6 Premium raid pass

These deals have different customers.

The Special Box is definitely for the boss raider. 600 coins' worth of value in raid passes for 480 coins mean's you're getting a good deal even if you chose to trash everything else in the box. The berries have zero value, but a rural area player should value five incense at better than zero value. For large city players incense is only useful for use with PoGo Plus when traveling with slow going mass transport.

The Great Box yields 300 coins' worth of raid passes. Add 600 coins' worth of incubators and you once again have a perfectly valid deal for a box that costs 780 coins. As usual the berries have zero value, and the usefulness of the seven incense depends on your playing environment.

The Ultra Box is more problematic. 600 coins' worth of raid passes and 900 coins' worth of incubators. The box comes at a 1480 coins cost. While it doesn't contain any pointless berries the value of the box is highly dependent on player context.
Six lucky egg -- do you want xp?
12 incense -- where do you live?
Depending on your answer this package deal is iffy at worst and a fantastic deal at best.


For the walking boss raider I'd recommend the Great Box unless you have good use for the incense.

If you plan to power evolve for XP during the event the the Ultra Box is a no brainer. Double candy enables you to evolve pidgeys over and over and over again.
