Holiday Extravaganza!

[inkstone]

Hello trainers, your wayward mod has returned! Well, I mean, I was always here and accessible by PM, but I haven't been here here. We'll just skip over the tedious details of the trainwrecky hot mess that was my 2018. Ahem. A big welcome to any recent refugees from Tumblr!

Anyway, on to the event details (ETA: The event starts on Dec 18!):

Here are the high points:

• More ice-type pokemon will spawn, beginning on Dec 18.


• We'll see "holiday-ready pokemon." I assume this means Santa hat!Pikachu, but maybe others too?


• A greater chance of Munchlax, Azurill & Smoochum hatching from 7KM eggs.


• Until Jan 2, you can get one single-use incubator when you spin a pokestop. Only one per day, though!


• From Dec 18-22, we earn double candy for catching and transferring pokemon.


• From Dec 22-26, we earn double stardust when we catch pokemon.


• From Dec 26-30, we earn double XP when we catch pokemon.


• From Dec 30-Jan 2, incubators are twice as effective.

Weary fist-bumps for the freaking train-wreck of 2018 and here's to a better 2019.

Meanwhile, though, announcements in other languages confirmed that Chingling and Mantyke will also be in 7km eggs.
