10 km eggs definitely more common

Didn’t have time to walk all my eggs yesterday so had a lot of event hatching today. A lot of new eggs in the bag today. Three out of maybe 8 new are 10 km eggs. Saw a slight increase in 10 km eggs just before the event started and now I’m pretty sure it’s here to stay. Niantic must have seen a great drop in incubator shopping when you got maybe one 10 km egg every third week with a great risk for Skarmory.

people make assumptions based on their own experience. "yesterday i saw five people wearing a hat - seems like more people wear hat nowadays"

But thx for your data.

People make comments when they don't know what they're talking about. Go hatch some eggs and let us know what you find out. Wear a hat, it's chilly out.

I was quite surprised to find 2 out of 3 new eggs to be 10km ones today. Small sample size so it says nothing, but I was quite happy nonetheless.

Yeah,

I used to find one 10km egg every 2-3 months and now I have 8 (all from last 2 weeks) wainting to hatch (waiting for some special boxes with super incubators tought)

I wonder whether the perceived increase in 10k egg frequency simply has to do with cycling through more eggs during an event.

When it isn't an event, I usually only incubate a pair of eggs at a time. During this event, I started to incubate a baseline of three (and more than that if I had more than two 10k's).

No, I think it is a real thing. I have been very fortunate in the past getting 10K eggs and I am now getting even more still. I noticed the bump in higher 10K drop rates a few weeks before the windy event which was a normal period of egg hatching for me. Niantic is pretty shrewd in knowing what Trainers will spend cash on and 10K eggs seem to be good bang for buck at 150 coins for 3 hatches. If I were them I would keep this going for a while. Incubators and raid passes are probably by themselves keeping Niantic in the black.

I've hatched 2 sets of nine this week. I agree, it's been a lot more common for me. I've never been able to do that before. I didn't see many people wearing hats but thanks for that data too, I'll watch for that.

I agree that there has been an increase, which I think started just before the recent double XP event.
However, I have hatched several eggs in the last couple of days and I would say that the 10 km egg drop rate has decreased to its normal levels as I have not received any.

Yes this is definitely new, and true, that 10K eggs are dropping much more frequently! (Despite what the more negative posters here may assert...). Three others I play with state the same thing.

I just mass-hatched nine 10K eggs, and re-stocking with 7 new 10K eggs came surprisingly fast!
Now if I can just stop hatching so many damn Trapinchs! ;-/
