The Information that leaked was correct. Niantic just officially announced the Pokemon GO Easter Event: Eggstravaganza 2017 is starting today and lasts to April 20!
Highlights are:
- Lasts from April 13 to April 20 (1:00 P.M. PDT)
- Greater variety of Pokémon in 2KM Eggs
- Our sources indicate that Ultra Rare Pokemon should be more common – make sure to check the current Egg Chart (Easter event Egg chart)
- Double XP during the event, stacks with Lucky Egg
- More Candy for Every Egg hatch
- Lucky Eggs discounted by 50%
The leak came from a source who have been reliable, so was that case this time.
Guide for the Event (Advanced Guide)
Try and hatch all the eggs you have before the event, as new eggs will have higher chance of rare Pokemon and stock up on Incubators
Buy discounted Lucky Eggs, but only use them for hatching 2 KM Eggs, don’t waste them on other Egg types.
Be careful with power ups, there is no increase in Stardust gains, so save your Stardust for powering up your best hatches at the end of the event.
