As mentioned in the bonuses, you will get a 0.25x Egg Hatch Distance bonus for the first three Eggs incubated using the Pokemon GO Egg Hatching widget. So, adding the widget to your home screen is highly advisable. Read on to learn how to add the Pokemon GO Egg Hatching widget to your screen.

Since this is an Egg Hatching event, it is crucial to have Incubators in your inventory. If you are free-to-play, you should earn some PokeCoins from Pokemon Gyms. You can then use the PokeCoins to buy Incubators from the store if you want to hatch eggs and hunt for a monster of your liking.

Larvesta will be available but you will have to be extremely lucky to get one from the Eggs. It won't be an easy Pokemon to get. So, don't be disheartened if you fail to hatch one during the event. The majority of the players may be in the same boat as you.
