Are the bonuses and rewards in Pokemon GO's Eggs-pedition Access: December worth buying the ticket for?

The short answer is yes. If you want a detailed breakdown of the price of items and the benefits this ticket gives you access to, read on.

Firstly, you get access to 31 single-use Incubators if you purchase this ticket on December 1. A standard blue Incubator that can hatch three Eggs costs 150 PokeCoins. This means you must purchase 10 of these for 1500 PokeCoins. If you were to pay for those coins with real-world money, that would cost you just shy of US$13.00.

This already makes the ticket worth investing. As icing on the cake, Niantic has thrown in bonuses like extra XP, extra gifts, and additional space in your bag. The Timed Research story will also keep you engaged and might lead to some fascinating encounters over the course of the month.

However, there is a catch with Pokemon GO's Egg-pedition Access ticket. Its return on investment diminishes the longer you wait. Therefore, if you are committed to grinding the game in December 2023 and don't mind spending some money on it, this is one thing you should definitely get.
