Egg Incubator is a Incubators Item. There are 2 types Egg Incubators: default Incubator (Orange) that has unlimited uses and acquired Incubator (Blue) that has 3 uses.
Contents
Acquired By
- Starts the game with one. Default Incubator does not break
- Awarded for leveling up. These Incubators break after 3 uses.
Used For
An Egg Incubator is used to hatch Eggs. When in an incubator, the player is required to travel a distance of usually 2 to 10 km in order to hatch the egg. This is tracked through a mixture of your phone's GPS and Pedometer - and moving too fast (like in a moving vehicle) may cancel the tracking.
To start, the player is given an Egg Incubator (Orange) that can be used an unlimited amount of times, and others (Blue) can be bought from the Store for 150 PokeCoins, or given as rewards for leveling up. Note that the acquired Egg Incubators will break after being used 3 times.
- Use the acquired Egg Incubators for shorter distance eggs (2km and 5km) and use the permanent one for 10k ones. So you won't need to replace incubators constantly.
How to Use Egg Incubators Efficiently
- The simplest most commonly known. Do not use LIMITED (i will be using this term to describe the single and triple use incubators.) incubators to walk your 2k eggs. It is terribly cost inefficient to do and will net you less worth doing so.
- When catching, evolving, viewing the hatch animation or otherwise playing the game, keep walking as the game will still track distance walked even while these things are happening.
- Walk in as straight a line as possible as the game will track distance walked from the last point it added it up to the next time it adds it. (ZIGZAGS = bad)
- This one is an advanced version. I will try to keep it as simple as possible. So lets say you have 2x 10k and 4x 5k eggs and 1 Limited (3 use) incubator with your infinite incubator. What do you think is the best way to use the incubators to hatch the eggs. You do as follows, put one 10k in the limited and start walking 5k's with the infinite. By the time you have walked 10km you will have hatched 2x 5k's for a total of 20km and 3 Pokemon effective effort worked. Repeat this and you will have walked all the eggs for a total of 40km effort and 6 Pokemon hatched and have one use on the limited remaining. Now if you were to do this the inefficient way and put both 10k's in incubators at the same time by the time you have walked 10km you will have done 20km and 2 Pokemon worth of effort. If you were to continue this for all the eggs you will end up with 20km worth of effort 6 Pokemon hatched and no uses left on your limited. On top of this you will have less egg turnover from Pokestops as the effort to free up space is increased. Simply put do not use your Infinite to hatch 10k's and only put them in Limited's in order to increase your gain from the event.
