Hatchathon 2020 Details
Hatchathon 2020 is now live for players across the globe! The latest iteration of this event brings with it bonuses both new and old, giving players both new and old the incentive to get out and play!
This event runs until Thursday, January 16, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. PST (GMT −8)
Event Bonuses
What's an event without its bonuses? The Hatchathon 2020 brings with it the following:
- 2x Hatch Candy
- 2x Hatch Stardust
- Guaranteed Adventure Sync 50k Rewards: 50,000 Stardust, 15 Rare Candies, and a guaranteed Unova Stone
These bonuses are great. 2x Hatch Stardust can rack up very quickly if you synchronize and use Star Pieces, and the 50k reward for the week is genuinely stellar. Just remember to be in-game before 9:00 a.m. local time on Monday to use a Star Piece! Past stardust boosted Adventure Sync stardust bonuses have been boostable!
Party Hat Pokemon
As was discovered via datamining a few weeks ago, this event brings a new set of "special hat" Pokemon; and it's not just Pikachu this time! The following Pokemon can be obtained with party hats on, and all of them can be shiny!
Instead of the normal "wild caught" method, these special hat variants are available via various sources:
- Pichu: 2k and 7k Egg Hatches
- Pikachu: Wild
- Wurmple: 2k Egg Hatches
- Raticate: Raids
- Wobuffet: Raids
To finish this all off, we also have a new 2020 set of Glasses for avatars to help ring the new year in.
2020 Glasses
Be it bonuses or just a bit of fun, now is a great time to get out there and Go! Let's all do our best to make the first event of 2020 one to remember!
