How's the Eggstravaganza Event going for everyone, so far?

Hey, everyone! Just wondering how the event is going for everyone, so far. Have you hatched anything interesting from 2km eggs? How's your stardust and candy collection looking like right now? Made any new friends? Community Day also counts, too, so feel free to post anything related to that, as well. :-)

Sadly, I can no longer play for a while since my device is no longer supported. Haven't played since the update rolled in, except on Friday when I borrowed my friend's phone to do my EX Raid, but that's about it. I got a 2km egg from spinning the gym stop after the raid, so maybe in the future I'll find out what Pokémon it is when I get a better phone lol. Hopefully, a perfect Larvitar.

i never get excited about egg events, by the time you have about a 1/10 chance of hatching something you want and then a 1/22 chance of having a quality IV or 1/250 if you are after a shiny.

They are generally disappointing.

I think both the Equinox event and the recent egg event were great. Lots of 10 km eggs and a lot of useful rare Pokemons. Last fall a lot of Porygons, Snorlaxes, Lapras’ and Larvitars, andnow I managed to evolve both Salamence and Gardevoir thanks to the event.

The current egg event sucks (I don’t care too much about shinies). Best thing is the boxes so I can stack up on super incubators for coming 10 km eggs.

I so far have hatched 6 or 7 2km eggs from the event (don‘t have incubators and can‘t get around that much), but today during the community event, I hatched 2 Feebas, one of them even 87-89%, which were my first two hatched Feebas so far. But the candy given per hatch seems a bit odd to me, as I hatched a Swablu just now, but only got 10 candy (is the normal minimum for a hatch 5 candy?)

Prior to the event, almost every 10km egg I managed to get and hatch were mostly Feebas, so I was able to stack up enough candy to bring my Milotic to lvl 30.

As for those 10 candies, I think the normal number of candies you would get without double candy would be five. So, with double candy, it's going to be 10. Pokémon usually hatched from 2km eggs don't usually give out a lot of candy.

Oh, I see. I honestly barely pay attention to how much candy I get, but that would make sense. Especially considering the fact that people who get lucky and hatch many good 10km mons from those 2km would be at an advantage if they got a lot of candy.

I've hatched four 2km eggs...Pichu, Aron, Swablu, and something else very forgettable. Stardust has been good from catches though. Hatched a Feebus from a 10km egg and got 44 candy plus transfer. Working on some more 10km eggs with a temporary incubator.

Hatched a Baltoy and mostly Gen 2 babies. Farming stardust through long bus rides (with SGPokeMap down, no motivation to walk).

I've hatched a perfect Beldum and three Ralts from the 2k's, so the event could end tomorrow and I'd be satisfied. I'm not so bothered by shinies; since they add nothing extra to in-battle performance I'm not really pressing myself too hard to hatch a million eggs so I can hatch a shiny, what, Magby? Togepi?

I'm really just most happy about the fact that we get 10 days without those insufferable 5k eggs. Oh, and I ended up caving in and buying the Ultra box, and hatched the 7x10k eggs I had lined up from the windy egg event and the days between that and this event with a star piece on and finally broke 1m stardust during Community Day today! All in all, a great few days for me in the PoGo universe.

Note: my positivity right now may be reflective of the fact that I'm a bit drunk. On a Sunday evening. With work at 8.30a tomorrow.

Haha nice! That perfect Beldum would be more than enough for me to be satisfied! Congrats on reaching 1 million stardust!

Only hatched 2 event eggs so far. Chimecho and a tyroge. I have 7 10k I will hatch before the event ends. If I'm lucky I should get enough candy for a metagross and salamance, I just need to hatch one of each with the double candy.

Crossing my fingers here for those 10k's to be a couple of Bagon and Beldum!

I've hatched Tyrogue, Cleffa, Swablu, Spheal, and Scyther. I won't be using any paid incubators on these eggs. I did manage to hatch a Bagon from an old egg for double candy. My biggest regret so far is that I accidentally hatched 3 10k eggs 5 minutes before the event started: Bagon, Bagon, Beldum. So many wasted candies.....

What a damn shame :/

Hopefully, you can hatch them in that exact order again without the 2km eggs, at least.

Two Bagon and one Beldum is great! You could have ended up with double Skarmony and Sudowoodo candy...

Hatched a Wynaut to complete my regional dex which is all I wanted, so I'd say 10/10 perfect event. Also got a decent haul of candy from my 7 saved 10k eggs.

The real focus of this event to me is double stardust, the eggs are just a bonus. Not expecting to hatch anything nice but if I do, good. Going to be doing a lot of grinding with star piece on, maybe even try to reach the catch limit since it's one of the achievements in this game that I'm still missing.

Agreed. If I were playing, I would definitely be heavily invested in taking advantage of double stardust, with the eggs as an added bonus.

So far it's great - double candy and stardust is amazing. Hatched nine 10K eggs I saved, gotten about 200K stardust so far and the 2K have been decent: Igglybuff x2, Wynaut, Bagon and Bedlum. Very well done on Niantic's part

77 eggs hatched so far, no shinies, but lots of nice candy and stardust, and I've been able to register the 7 baby Pokémon I didn't have in the dex.

> Have you hatched anything interesting from 2km eggs?

Nothing special. I don't remember which were the 2 or 5 km ones both unremarkable. I hatched in the last few days:
Smoochum, 2x Spheal, Magby, Pinsir, Azurill, Nosepass, Pichu, Abra, Shellder.

It's going well for me so far. I haven't got any shiny from eggs so far, so that's not great. But they seem to be quite rare, so I'm not that surprised.
I did hatch a good Chansey (93% IV). I also had a few 10km eggs that hatched when the event started where I got a 96%IV Feebas and using a Star piece I got over 50.000 stardust, which was nice.

I spent the Community Day at a big mall with hundreds of other players, so that was fun. Caught loads of Bulbasaur (got over 1000 candies during the event), 13 of which was shiny and one had 100% IV.

Having reached lvl 40 during the last double XP event I saved most of my Lucky eggs. Still got like 300k.
Also used some Star pieces, so I've reached my goal of having 6 million stardust. I'm thinking of using some to power up the perfect shiny Venosaur, but might wait until I have more dust, because I want to bring the Venosaur up to lvl40, but at the same time I don't want to go under 6 million.

After the Community Day I stayed awhile and did three Lugia raids, one of which got me my fourth shiny Lugia.

I'm so freaking tired at the moment, but it was all well worth it.

I said it after the last Community Day and I'll say it again: I really like this event.
It's intense, but alot of fun. And I get to meet loads of other players.

Impressive! Sounds like you really put in some effort into getting as much out of this event as possible. Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself, so far! :)

A bit underwhelmed really. Hatched 22 eggs so far, of which one was a dratini, one a beldum (both IV<76), other than that it's mostly been rubbish that comes from 2km eggs anyway. Only notable exception would be a Mareep, since they do hatch from 10km eggs, but they're bloody useless anyway, aside from the fact that I already had 560-ish candy.

Still hoping for something actually useful, but not holding my breath on it.
