Idea: A 50 KM egg??
I was thinking about a recent post bemoaning the rural scene and how unfair it is to get junk out of 10K eggs ... I thought Niantic's 7-day streak bonus guaranteed item was a brilliant solution to evolution item issue, and wonder what if a really good egg also dropped from the 7-Day streak...
What do you think, would that OP the game? If you could only have 1 of these eggs at a time, you'd have to walk 50km per week, pretty decent amount and aligns with Niantic's fitness message - and would further keep people spinning for the streak bonus.
Not sure if it would be a choice (ask your team leader? get whatever is your current buddy?) or just RNG among Chansey, Snorlax, Larvitar, Dratini (maybe Lapras? not in same league anymore...).
Is this something anyone would want to see?

I think 50km is good if you can have more than one at a time. If you limited them to unique in the egg inventory 50km seems too much for me. Keep in mind that most players are casual, playing around an hour per day won't get you even close to that 50km per week, and don't forget that to get credit to hatch that 50km egg you will probably have to walk around 60km.
That is 7km per day, I don't think that many of us does this amount, It should be closer to 30-40km, 5km per day is already a good amount and at this point most of people only plays to get bonus and not much more, the incentive will be there to actually walk but don't letting out people that are not hardcore players.
Only casual players still playing are city players.... He is suggesting something that would be mostly for rural players. I have to walk 5 km just to hit my two pokestop. That would be perfect. Agreed with OP suggestion, and also would love to see an item that allow changing moveset randomly on a pokemon (another suggestion). Nothing worst that walking 625km to evolve a pokemon and getting the worst moveset.
I don't consider myself "hard-core" since I'm mostly using PoGo as a much more interesting FitBit replacement ... This post was also inspired by considering how long before I get a fully functional Blissey (have a 97% CP hatched Chansey but want 115 candies at least (evolve and power to level 30). So 10 candies/week is ambitious but obtainable goal if I can get a 5k walk on my 4 long work days, and 10k on my 3 off days.... the motivation for an extra good egg would nudge me just that much more!
Since I have no experience with main series, would that be Slaking, Metagross, and Salamence - any others? That would be 8 potential PKM, many of which require 2 evolutions and could be weighted a bit more likely - perhaps a weekly guaranteed good hatch wouldn't OP the game as much as I was thinking...
