Should you buy Pokemon GO's Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket?

Unless players are low on Stardust, want to level up faster, or are desperate to hatch their eggs or catch a Hisuian Growlithe, the Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket may not be for them. Granted, as far as microtransactions go in this mobile title, the ticket is relatively cheap, but if players are particular about what they pay for, this ticket might not be worth buying.

However, if a player has a little extra money to spend, it can't hurt to purchase this ticket for the resource bonuses and the chance to catch a Hisuian Growlithe. The daily incubators should also be a huge help if trainers have a ton of excess eggs they need to hatch. Overall, this ticket might be worth skipping unless trainers have the money to spend, as most of the rewards can be received elsewhere.

Whatever the case, if players don't purchase the ticket for Eggs-pedition Access this month, there are many more February 2024 Pokemon GO events to enjoy.
