This should be a great chance for players to get some rare Pokemon that they may have missed, such as Audino, as well as candy for potentially rare Pokemon. In particular, Togepi's final evolution, Togekiss, has a very strong presence in the upcoming Master League, and Riolu's evolution, Lucario, is well known as the top fighting type raid attacker in the game right now.

Full Announcement
Trainers,
Spring has sprung for those of you in the northern hemisphere, and what better way to celebrate than with a springtime event! Buneary joins the celebration by wearing a flower crown, while egg- and spring-themed Pokémon are appearing more often in the wild! Pokémon Eggs just got eggs-tra special too, as Pichu and Togepi with flower crowns will be hatching from them.
We're continuing to prioritize Pokémon GO experiences that can be enjoyed in individual settings. You’ll receive 1/2 Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed into Incubators until further notice, so be sure to turn on Adventure Sync and make every step count.
