Christmas Hatchathon - Pichu & Raichu (Christmas) Event
On December 1st 2018, players started receiving Eggs in the daily login rewards. These eggs varied from four different tiers; 30min Egg, 1hr Egg, 12hr Egg and 24hr Egg. These eggs could be hatched within the Event Center starting December 5th 2018 to January 7th 2019.
The length in time an egg takes to hatch determines it's outcome value so a 30min egg wouldn't hatch a Pokémon as good as a 24hr egg. Each egg could be sold and bought on PokéBay if the player didn't want to hatch it themselves.
Only one egg could be hatched at a time unless you hatched more to unlock more incubating slots. The maximum amount of incubator slots a player could have was three. By continuously hatching lower tier eggs (30min eggs) to unlock all three incubators increased the chances of the player hatching what they want/needed from 24hr eggs by being able to hatch three at a time.
The main prize for this event that was to be aimed for was Pichu (Christmas).
On December 25th, for 24 hours, Pikachu (Christmas) could be evolved into Raichu (Christmas) using a Thunder Stone.
This event ended on January 7th.
