This is not a real question, I just wanted someone to share my pain with. Last time I got 10 km egg was 16.08.2016. Since then absolutely NOTHING. I was buying incubators, clearing out old eggs, NOTHING. Suddenly, the winter holiday event came and I got 4. FOUR, YOU GET IT?! I was SO happy. And guess what did I get? FOUR FUCKING USELESS SHITTY BABIES. FOUR. And I didn't even complete my stupid pokedex either, cause it was 2x Elekid and 2x Magby. And since I got 4 in a row I'm sure I won't get any of those in like a milion years again. Seriously Niantic, seriously? FOUR FUCKING BABIES? I'm so tilted. I need a consolation ;(

Luckily, your past "luck" has nothing to do with your future "luck" :) 0 10km's since 16.8 does sound like a world record though. How many eggs have you hatched in total?

Also, pain divided by 2 now.

You won't get it here. RNG is a fickle mistress...

As far as I know, the babies are not in the eggs anymore. We are now back to hatching Jynx again...

They are, but the chances of hatching them are no longer increased.

Incorrect. The eggs with the higher chance of containing babies will no longer drop from pokestops (they will still be in your inventory until you hatch them), but the baby pokemon are still in the game. Just with a normal hatch percentage.

Babies will still hatch but no longer will you get their evolved forms from 10k eggs.. at least now can gain some exp from them through evolving. Where as before just hoarding a crap tonne of candy as none are suitable to power up

The huge numbers of 10km eggs people found during the event is simply due to the large number of 10km-babies, which were added into the pool. Instead of making every other 10km-hatch nearly unavailable, Niantic massively increased the percentage of 10km eggs.

The number of the 10K pool changed slightly. Its now a smaller pool where it was 17 but they removed Eevee then removed Mr. Mime. then they replaced Jinx, Electabuzz, and Magmar with their baby versions. So if a trainer didn't hatch a baby chances are that they would have hatched the adult version of the same pokemon. On top of this they did increase the 10K drop rate because I was and still currently getting at least nine 10K eggs a week.

For instance I just hatched 10K eggs last night and already collected 4 more.

I'd swap one of your Magbys for either of my last 10k hatches (Onix & Pinsir), it's the only baby I'm missing.

I don't mind the babies, they're no worse than the three Krabby's and Meowth I hatched today. Alll up your dust count.

The same thing happened to me, I didn't got a single 10 egg in months, then I got 5 in a roll, 1 magby and 4 smoochum, all the for smoochum at the same time at the night of dec 31, but then I got more 2 and I got a chansey and a dratini, there is another one that still not hatched, if it is a baby I will kill myself.

You may not like the babies, but getting a Chansey and a Dratini out of 7 10k eggs is much better than the average.

Instead of killing yourself, I would celebrate your good luck :-)

I think a lot of us have seen a 10km egg drop increase during these event, probably because of the babies, I have hatched 6 10ks during the event, of course all of them babies except a stupid pinsir, I have been "lucky" enough to get the 3 of them and complete again my regional EU dex.

But I feel your pain, 10ks are normally so rare that they should "guarantee" a top tier mon like Snorlax or Lapras, even with that you can still get bad IV's/moveset so why don't actually give us a little love? It is nice the feeling when the 10k drops from the stop, but it hurts when you actually hatch it and see a baby/pinsir or any other crap like eevee (until they remove them from 10ks I mean).

I think Niantic has to do something about it soon, probably the most easy solution would be adding a 20km egg that grants a top tier mon with similar drop rate than the actual 10k and increase the rate of 10ks. When gen2 finally comes out it will be almost imposible (if it is not difficult enough) to get that Lapras or Snorlax that a lot of people need.

An easier solution than adding a 20K egg would be simply move the trash down a level... including removing the caterpie-like trash from the 2k.

It's painful to waste an incubator on an egg that has 0% chance of being useful.

Yes, it could work too, but the 5km mons pool is already large enough that's why I suggested the 20k one. Anything they do to increase the chance of getting good mons from high distance eggs I would love to see it, I think people will be a lot happier to play, even willing to buy more incubators to hatch those 10ks, I know some people that refuse to buy incubators and even when they get 2-3 10k eggs they use only the infinite one because the chances of getting something good are not big.

Niantic will have to rethink the eggs altogether. Especially the 2k eggs. Now that Pikachu and the starters were everywhere, there just won't be any excitement left for hatching a Charmander with 5 candies.

After this event, I really don't see the point of hatching 2k eggs other than to just burn through incubators for meager dust, XP and candy.

I think that the only way of control that we may get to get over our hatches will be by introducing "breeding". Breed and hatch eggs from the species that we are really interested in and try to get pokemon with better IVs than their parents.
That'd be a nice feature to introduce.

Last night I hatched nine 10k eggs. This was my result. Yes the babies are useless after the first hatch for the pokedex entry but I'm just happy it wasn't a damn Onix as last time I hatched nine 10K eggs 3 were Onix, and 3 were Pinsers.

Yea same ish for me. I hatched 2 magby, 2 smoochum, elekid, 2 pichu, and igglybuff, haven't gotten a 10k egg in over 2 months. I want them but....I would grind these babies into candy if they weren't rare right now. It's like making candy from a baby.

No big deal. I've hatched 7 10K eggs out of 600+ hatches. They are:
2 Magmar
2 Onix
1 eevee
2 Pinsir

I hatch eggs only for dusts. (not even for candies since all I hatched are useless).

Sorry dude, that sucks. But, at the same time, instead of babies, you could have gotten Onix, Pinsir, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Scyther, Kabuto, Omanyte, or Aerodactyl. All of these are pretty much useless, just like babies, once you have the entry in your pokedex and have enough candy for the evolutions.

We all want Snorlax, Lapras, Dratini or Chansey, but those are all really rare to come by (more so for some than others, apparently). I've hatched over 1500 eggs, many of them 10k, and have hatched just 1 Snorlax.

I am exiting this baby event with :
* 6 Elekid
* 5 Magby
* 3 Smoochum
* 2 Togepi
* 6 Pichu
* 2 Cleffable
* 4 Igglybuff

A whole lot of wasted 10k eggs but that's just playing the odds and I'm happy I got all the babies...

Hopefully your luck turns on getting more 10k eggs. Unfortunately, egg hatching is a numbers' game with crappy odds (same goes for 5k and 2k, I'm really sick of hatching Spearows and Nidorans for the REALLY occasional / accidental Togepi or Charmander).
