Pokémon Go Holiday Event Gifts Free Incubators
If you’re ready to grow your Pokémon Go collection, we’ve got good news. The game’s holiday event has some fun stuff going on to celebrate the jolly season. For most players, the most significant feature is the opportunity to get free incubators. By heading out to PokéStops between December 25 and January 3, you can acquire one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin. In addition, during that same stretch of time, limited edition Pokémon eggs (like Togepi and Pichu) are more likely to be found.
Beginning a little later on December 30 and running through January 8, several other Pokémon are more likely to be be caught, including Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise. During this time, lure modules will last 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes, giving you more chances to snag those sought-after little guys.
You can read all about the event on the official page.
Our Take
Pokémon Go was one of the biggest gaming phenomenons of 2016. It’s fitting that its team is giving something back to the community in the final days of the year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
