    God forbid they offer any Snom candy on this.

  2. Confident_Section568

    They are not even trying anymore

    Just throw in 50 pokecoins…

    Even if you did 5x 10 people would be okey with that…

    Say it with me class

    WOW!~

    This is trash.

    curious how they even rationalise this, previous ones that I personally didn’t see value in had value to others. I can’t see anything in this that would warrant $8 or whatever it is.

    And it’s 50/100 Stardust for 50 ranks after that?

    Edit: If that Wooloo on premium 45 isn’t the one they brought in last year, what are we even doing.

    That is really bad

    So £8 for
    2x incubator efficiency
    5 raid passes
    7 rare xl candy
    9k stardust
    basically

    No way this will cost the same as a normal pass. I’d pay 2€ at most for that

    Of all the passes they’ve done. This is one of them.

    The free track represents fair value at a cost of nothing. I need to play the game, but I tend to do that anyway.

    The paid track, not so much. C’mon you whales, spend big so the rest of us don’t have to.

    Swear it’s like they’re intentionally doing less.

  11. Why do they put stuff like Dedenne and Wooloo candy in these? What’s the point?

    In principle, I’d rather have an event I could ignore at the holidays than have something where I feel like I’m missing out on the game by doing holiday things.

    Nearly 10% of the pass is Pikachu candy, I can’t LMAO

    You know I’m buying this just for that extra Wooloo XL candy, what a reward for paying extra

    I’m guessing the draw is supposed to be the avatar item + the increased tier bonuses. Tier bonuses exclusive to deluxe are double stardust for gifts, 1/2 hatch distance (I’m guessing this is supposed to be the draw), and 2x xp for pokemon. And I suppose the 1/2 hatch is especially valuable to people who already bought the monthly pass and have the extra incubator.

    Much as I want the shiny hat pichu, paying for the pass and then also paying for extra incubators seems like a lot.

    ETA: I did the math. Looking at the 7k box for incubators, it’s 70 coins/incubator (I’m not distinguishing between purple vs blue for this). On the website, the $100 pack of coints works out to about 0.65cents/coin, making each incubator worth about 45.5cents. At $7.99, that’s about the same cost as 17.6 incubators. IOW, if free half hatch would’ve resulted in me using an extra 18 incubators (so 54 hatches), I’d have ended up spending more than the cost of the pass itself.

    I’ve been walking about 60km a week now that winter’s hit. Without any reduction from purple incubators or CA check-ins, it’s 3.5km a hatch so I’d be getting 17 batches of eggs over the event. Assuming free incubator + 8 paid, that’s 136 eggs or 45 incubators.

    I guess I should be glad the game is saving me from myself.

    Rank 45…Wooloo? You mean like the common spawn Wooloo? What great value for money!!

  17. How the hell did they go from lucky trinket and all to a hat

  18. Throw in some coins or a trinket and replace the premium battle passes with remote raid passes and there’s at least an argument for value. This is genuinely worthless.
