Get the Most Out of the Thanksgiving Bonuses

How Ads Work

Everyone has been asking if using the lucky egg would give 4x the amount of experience during the event, which Niantic even confirmed the answer for us that indeed it does. Here are a few of the things that you will need in order to get the most out of this event.

• 7-day streak: the event lasts for 7 days, so by the time this post is out, a majority of those that read it during its first arrival to the web; should be able to get the 4000 experience bonus when completing their daily streak within the event. Just before your last streak count, be sure to use a lucky egg.
• 
  
• Eggs:  If properly placed in incubators, hatch all your eggs at once! Put your 10km eggs in first, walk until they are halfway hatched, put your 5km eggs in, walk until your 5km eggs hit 3km and your 10km eggs hit 8km, then put your 2 km eggs in incubators.
• 
  
• Evolving: Save all your candies until the last day of the event (or just before it ends) and evolve your Pokemon.
• 
  
• New Pokedex entry: Save any new evolutions you might be able to get until just before the event ends
• 
  
• Lucky Egg: If everything is done right above, use a lucky egg to double everything or get 4x the amount while the event is still going on!

The best way to make the most out of the event is by getting 9 eggs, wait before putting them all in. Put 10kms in first as stated above, walk them to 5km, put your 5km eggs in, walk another 3km putting your 10km eggs at 8km, and 5km eggs at 3km, then put your 2km eggs in. Once that is done, try to walk another km so that you only need one more to walk on all your eggs. Use a lucky egg and continue to walk.

It is important that you get all of your eggs the day before your 7 day streak if it isn't already too late. Don't catch anything or spin any stops until your eggs are set up as said above rather you can get your 7 day bonus or not. If you can't it's still an extra 2000 experience each.

Hopefully, you have a nice stock of candies ready because you will be using the evolving method often used to level. Luckily I saved about 5-6 new Pokemon entries so I will gain a bit more experience than others, but if you have new Pokemon entries, be sure to evolve those as well. If done correctly, using averages, you can expect to get roughly 100,000 experience. I have seen screenshots of most 120,000.
