I really hate those type of challenges. First of all you are forced to purchase egg incubators. Second they only hatch from 7km eggs. Luckily I have a job that requires a lot of walking. You only get those eggs from friends. I got around 40 online friends. Not all of them gives gifts. Sometimes the gifts even not giving eggs. Why not make that a permanent gift if you having space. But the thing that annoys me the most is the random Pokémon. I have a tons of Togepi coming out of the eggs. Just one Spritzee and none of the other two. Couldn’t they make it that you first collect the ones you need and then make it a randomizer.

It’s called a challenge… obviously you are challenged. Challenge complete.
Look not to kick you when youre down but, you knew what you were getting into. Most of us looked at the challenge and said “nah.”
Trading and 5km or above egg challenges are a total non starter for a large majority of players.
It wouldn’t be quite so unreasonable if it weren’t -35°, but that and the 7km eggs only part make this challenge total bullshit. Not worth frostbite or incubators.
I just learned these are in 7K eggs i am screwed
They did it to make the most amount of money possible. Its a business.
I’m only hatching Togepi out of the 4, and random other stuff
Keep getting 5km egss … That egg pool need a reworked more often
Tell me about it. I’m in Washington DC this weekend. No shortage of pokestops or places to go and yet no event hatch.
I didn’t even bother to do it, just a p2w mission.
I’m not even going to bother with this challenge
It’s been blizzarding where I am now… I haven’t been able to leave the house in days so i cant hatch any eggs.
I thought it was 2km eggs since i got togepi from one. But eggs challenge should come either 1/2 or 1/4 distance.
can’t suggest anything on here, but it’s always an option, iykyk 🙂
Hatch events always feel like scam. Even worse when it’s cold outside
Does anyone know what the reward Pokémon is anyway?
I was comforted by the fact that the award pokemon is the same as the one for the collection challenge. If you don’t finish this you aren’t missing much.
Four eggs during a very short time window is wild
I used to be a bit of a completionist. But between stuff like this, the “do 8billion party challenges”, etc. it’s been properly beaten out of me and now stuff like this just sits around.
Do 300 excellent throws and the reward is a shiny legendary/mythical? That’s a fun accomplishment to eventually get done. Buy a bunch of incubators, or do a bunch of routes (trash feature)? Not interested. Especially when the reward is like an ultraball and a Cutiefly.
What Pokémon do you get if you finish it?
I’m also not walking 28 km when it’s -30° outside
I’m not one to complain normally, but any challenge that involves RNG is silly.
I decided to let it go. I better buy starpieces and earn more stardust catching 11 Morelulls which today would be possible to do in, like, 10 minutes max.
It they would make it 1 mln stardust… or Mewtwo as a reward pokemon… 😁
Don’t worry about it the reward is Carbink
I understood the frustration of some of the southern hemisphere players when it’s an ice type event during the summer but walking in this polar vortex thing is impossible and I haven’t even progressed this RNG trap at all bc of it
Don’t care about the “rewards”. Only two things I care about is the collection challenges badge and still being to say “i’ve completed every worldwide collection challenge”
I am on my 6th togepi in a row right now
7/8 of the 7km eggs I’ve hatched have been togepi… it’s a bs challenge for sure
I first hatched 6 eggs to make room then hatch 6 7km eggs and got it done. By my math, on average you’ll need to open 8 eggs to get it done.
Side tip….get more friends via the pokemongifts subreddit or just by hosting raids on poke genie… I’m always sitting at around 380 friends… There are always 100+ gifts sitting in my que.
Pass, theses type of challenges suck
Yup. Ridiculous
Especially when people are living in negative degree weather. I ain’t going out there
Once you finally gets rid of the FOMO, the game gets so much better.
The rewards are not even worth it
Yeah, I’ve hit a brick wall with it – no more eggs with the remaining two hatchable!
Offical Niantic employee here, so let me address this issue for you.
(clears throat)
Fuck you, pay us.
Do not buy incubators for this. If you want the XP, Spend the coins on a lucky egg, use the egg when you increase the friendship of 3 friends to great friend (not ultra or best, great) for the same XP.
Spend the coins on the star piece. Catch around 30 Pokémon during this event for the same stardust.
I have a question! For the dazzling dream collection challenge I evolved my swirlix but nothing happened what am I doing wrong
