Pokemon GO Egg Distances Have Changed, Which Means The Way We Play The Game Might Change Too
While everyone was out trying to catch Chanseys and Porygons for the Valentine’s Day event, Niantic pulled a sneaky move and made some pretty major changes to the way that Pokemon hatch from eggs. More specifically, Pokemon GO egg distances have changed, and 17 Pokemon have been moved from one egg group to another.
This isn’t the first time Pokemon GO egg distances have changed, but it is by far the largest shift we’ve seen to date, which has left some players speculating that it could all be a lead up to the full release of Gen 2.
The Pokemon that have moved from the 10km egg group to the 5km egg group are Onix, Pinsir, and Scyther. NOTE: Some players are reporting that Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee have been removed from the 10km list as well. This is not yet confirmed, and we will update this article when more information becomes available.
The Pokemon that have moved from the 5km egg group to the 2km egg group are Abra, Bellsprout, Diglett, Ekans, Exeggcute, Gastly, Goldeen, Krabby, Machop, Nidoran (M & F), Oddish, Slowpoke, and Venonat.
