Pokemon Go global catch challenge event boxes!!

Super incubators for 200 pokecoins???? WTH....??

Special box (380 coins)
20x great ball
6x lucky egg
1x premium pass
4x lure module

Ultra box (880 coins)
16x lucky egg
4x premium raid pass
8x lure module
30x ultra ball

Are you getting any of these??

-------------------------------------------
Extra info:
In the past, we had 25 coins per lucky egg and 80 coins per raid pass.
(25 coins *16 eggs) + (80 coins * 4 raid passes) = 720 coins.

If you want to compare with the normal price,
(50 coins *16 eggs) + (100 coins * 4 raid passes) = 1200 coins.
You save ~26.7%, I guess.

They straight dicking us with the super incubators now. It's a shame i saved up 1300 coins these past 30 days... buying the reg inc for 150.

They really aren't worth 200 coins. Unfortunately many players will think "wow" and buy a bunch.
You really don't need them as saving that 1/3rd distance has no real advantage unless you're trying to speedrun PokemonGO.

For someone interested in lucky eggs, I'm pretty satisfied by the boxes. I'm gonna buy 7 or 8 Ultra Boxes.

If you want lucky eggs or lures, the boxes are good enough. If you're not looking for either of those, you don't have to buy them. The super incubator is a rip unless you are on the pay-to-win track.

I agree with your comment. They could have made the normal incubators more attractive, but I guess this is part of their marketing strategy.

No incubators for me during this event.

If, like me, all you care about is Raid passes and incubators then none of the sale items are worth buying.

I'm not sure I'll buy a box this time.
I don't really need any great or ultra balls and I've got 49 lures that I never use.

Lucky eggs are slightly more interesting to me, especially since we'll get double xp soon, though I still have some eggs left in my bag.

Premium raid passes are probably the ones I need the most. But it's only one in the Special Box and four in the Ultra Box, so it's not really worth it. Sure, I can spend 280 for six Lucky eggs or 480 for 16, which is really cheap, but I already have 13 and they seem to appear in boxes every time.
And I never have any space left in my bag, so getting another 16 eggs that I rarely use isn't that good.

If I do get a box it'll be the Ultra Box. Maybe I'll use up all my Lucky eggs and need new ones.

As for the super incubator, I sort of understand the price tag on it, but it doesn't feel like a "limited time only" offer. They could have had a box with like three super incubators for 500 coins, slightly more expensive than regular incubators but still a fairly good deal on them.

Or just add them to the boxes instead of balls.

Atleast they didn't add any freakin' berries this time.

Congratulations, valued customers.... oops, trainers, you have met the first (surprise) goal and unlocked.... "gift" boxes (they're really a gift for our bottom line, but ... never mind).

Sincerely,

Niantic

Eh, I've bought one incubator and saving the rest to see if I'll spend on raid passes or a 2nd incubator, and one lucky egg maybe. I haven't found any 10km eggs lately. Got some mons in gyms too, so will have more coins soon. The boxes don't give any interesting stuff.

I never understood the hype for the incubators anyway.
You don't get that much stardust and waste much money. No need to say that you get shit mostly.

People who walked 1000km spent 400-700$/EUR just for that. That's just crazy

I already feel bad for investing 120 (Raids & space)

It used to be most reliable legit way to get high iv mons pre rework, and iv was important

Meh... there were a lot of events when egg hatching had good double returns on not only stardust but candy as well. Before raids and rare candies, they were the best providers of high IV mons, and hard-to-get candies. And if you were a completest, knocking out your wall of 5 K eggs to makes room for special 2 K eggs was vital.

I think the ultra is good for me, but just one b/c of coins and bag space. I do value lucky eggs at 25 coins each= 400 coins. I actually value raid passes at 100 coins because I end up buying them anyway=400 coins. 8 lures and 30 ultra balls make up the remaining 80 coins. Lucky I have 849 coins saved... so tomorrow

Just bought an ultra box, I need to stock up on lucky eggs, the passes and lures are a bonus (and the ultra balls a joke; I get enough by grinding). I will buy a super incubator when I get another 10k.

Bad deals saved my money!

Never failed to purchase boxes since Day One. Sorry Niantic, not this time as the boxes really suck ! I was hoping to pick up some super incubators but at 200 coins apiece, it's a lousy deal.

I think these ones are better than the Halloween ones personally.

Lucky Eggs and Lure Modules were the pack filler items when I bought previous packs for incubators/raid passes.

My incubators and raid passes are long gone, but I have over 70 lure modules, and 25 lucky eggs...and around 15 incense.
These packs look to me like...
1 x premium pass = 380 coins
OR
4 x Premium pass = 880 coins

Needless to say, these don't interest me in the slightest.

Well, this decision is easy. I'm saving my coins for the half price on increasing Pokemon storage sale I expect when gen 3 comes out. I bought a bunch of premium raid passes during the fall event, but this 'sale' seems like a waste of coins.

I want premium raid passes.

They are good deals, but I hope that they make a great box that costs 480 coins and gives at least 5 premium raid passes, 2 lure modules, 1 lucky egg and 10 poké balls as bonuses.
