If Gligar and Mantine no longer hatch from 10kms I will be so happy. What a bunch of trash they are.

Crap, No wonder 10km eggs are so scarce right now.

That explains why I've been getting so many Sudowoodos from 10k eggs instead of Gligars and Mantines.

It really doesn't matter.

And this isn't really good news, it just fakes you out as good news.

As far as data looks, egg color has nothing to do with rarity. A pokemon could be 1/247 (or whatever the new total is) or 4/247 or 8/247

So if Gligar is still same, you will get the same number of Gligars.

Worse, though, Lower Eggs = Less Xp, Less Dust = quicker to hatch/turn over.

So while it "Feels" better because a Purple Egg won't give you junk as often, you will get less Purple Eggs.

And hatching 2 Orange Eggs might be the same xp as hatching 1 purple BUT it takes 2 incubator uses.

So if anything less 10k are bad news, not good news.

As a side note, I forget the exact data but for example last time they shifted eggs the odds for a 5k went down and 2k went up. This didn't help trainers, it just made burning Incubators more costly.

It does help trainers, because we can pick and choose what color eggs we use our incubators on. At the moment, I am using the infinite incubator for 2k eggs first, and then 5k's if I don't have any 2k's. I only use limited incubators for 10k eggs. So, now I won't be wasting coins buying incubators for Gligars and Mantines.

Maybe you should look in the mirror....

I never said you were "wrong" either.

I just put out my opinion that because the way the random works is they
Roll the Random of the Pokemon
Then determine what color the egg is.

That egg color doesn't really matter. It does make you feel better that you won't get five of 9 10ks being Gligar. But you still would have had the same 5 gligars. They would just be in Orange Eggs not Purple Eggs.

I hope Eevees still hatch from 5k eggs or 2K... I've been hatching heaps of them in hopes of getting a good enough Eevee... I'm not really fond of 10km eggs unless I have an extra incubator around.

My two consecutive 10 km Pineco made me wish they'd change him to a 5 km.

I noticed last couple days I hatched 3 10k and got a Dratini Larvitar and a Lapras. Thought I got lucky but maybe the chance went up because of this.

During the Easter event the only things you could get from a 10k were all good things. I would like that even if it means less 10ks overall.

Today I hatched a 10k egg I spun last night (8pm), 485cp Dratini. So no news there, a normal number of candies with it

I read this as I was about to batch hatch. I wasn't excited seeing how many of these eggs were old. Awe well. 3/9 good ones (unfortunately one of the goodies was a high stat Gligar)
