Hey, y’all! If you’re anything like myself and would rather eat dirt before spending money on Incubators, you’ll love this little option.
Starting anytime between now and leading up to Riolu Hatch Day, only hatch your 5km, 7km, & 10km eggs until all you’re left with is 2km eggs. Once you’ve done this, only hatch your 12km eggs until the day of or before the event. This way, you’ll only have to worry about your old 2km eggs on the day of the event, which will allow you to farm up event 2km eggs faster… if you’re lucky.
For those hardcore trainers with time on their hands, hatch all of your old 2km eggs on Friday before the event starts and (this is important) do not spin any Pokéstops, gyms or open any gifts until 2pm the following day. I don’t support doing this because of how hard it is to remember, but if you’re hardcore and laser focused, then you’ll be in even better shape the next day.
And that’s it! I’ve been doing this method for years, and it never fails me. Hatching eggs in Pokémon Go is not an experience that no one should spend money in hopes of obtaining something rare. It’s too in favor of luck. In the short amount of time one is able to play an event , this small** and packed with FOMO, one has to plan ahead. So long as RNG on collecting 2km eggs will be high, it’ll be smooth. Hope this helps someone who needs it. GGs!
