The Christmas Event With Johto Pokemon?

Come Join My Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/OpachiiO/

As many already know, yet another event is getting ready to hit in a few weeks. It's undetermined how long this event will last, or if it will last up until New Years. There are several theories about what's to come, and here is my predicament, basing these opinions off recent game updates, and the trailer of Pokemon Go. 

First, we will go ahead and start off with Mewtwo. He was seen in the trailer before Pokemon Go was even released, the event lead people to fight him. It is uncertain if you will be able to fight him more than one, assuming that defeating him is how you catch him. With Ditto being released for Thanksgiving; the developers thanking its supporters, Other Pokemon will be released during events. Niantic has mentioned a while ago, the legendaries will be event Pokemon. Mewtwo seems to me like a good finish and an excellent start to the new year.

While we are talking about legendaries, let's go ahead and get the birds out of the way too. Theories have mentioned you may need to collect feathers to get these famous birds, but I'm not here to say how to get them without there being a whole lot over that topic. I'm here to say they will more than likely be a part of the Christmas event, just before Mewtwo's release. I don't see a reason behind them holding on to these event Pokemon after the new year starts. There aren't many reasons for events until a few months after 2017. 

Pokemon we can look forward to seeing more are ice type Pokemon, along with a slightly increased spawn for water types and any Pokemon Niantic seems fit for the holiday. The ice Pokemon in generation 1 are. Cloyster, Dewgong, Lapras, and Jynx. The only water types really worth mentioning, in my opinion as I still need them, would be Magikarps and, though it's not water it is a water spawn Dratini.

There is a largely known rumor that generation 2 will be coming out here in a few days. If this leads to be true, then we can expect the event bonuses to apply to those Pokemon as well. When I covered the Johto Pokemon I explained why I believe this rumor to likely be more true than it is false, I've just played a handful of games and know a bit of how developers work. Now onto the other theorized bonuses.  

I don't know who didn't like the buddy reduced walking distance. Niantic liked the outcome (financial reasons) of their Halloween event, they decided to expand on it, mostly because Christmas, and if I am correct there are other major holidays around that same time for different religions and cultures, are largely celebrated so we can expect a larger event on larger holidays. One of the reasons the Thanksgiving event wasn't too spectacular. Anyways, Niantic may even use the same reduced 

distance on eggs as well! 

I'm sure most already have been, but SAVE any and all Pokemon you catch. If you don't have enough room then get rid of Pokemon you already have evolved forms for and reserve space for those you still need. If you already have the Pokedex complete... good for you, you can collect candies for the Pokemon you use to battle a lot. The reason behind this is because more than likely transferring Pokemon will also give 2 candies instead of 1.

My posts will probably be a bit scattered and can sometimes be really descriptive while others, not so much. This is because I am currently working on typing out my second book "The Guiding Stars" it's not the best, but I'm trying harder on this book and taking my time with it. I have also hit my downfall for major/manic depression, which unfortunately affects my writing. 

These are the bonuses we can possibly see during the event though

• Legendary Pokemon release: Mewtwo, Moltras, Zapdos, and Articuno

• Reduced distance to walk buddy and eggs

• Double candy for catching, hatching, and transferring

• Double experience

• Double stardust

• Increased Items from stops

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!

Normal experience gain:

Eggs: 2km 200, 5km 500, 10km 1000

Pokestop: 50

Evolving: 500

New Pokemon entry: 600

Daily Bonus: 500 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 2000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 10, great, 50, excellent 100

Experience from Lucky Eggs:

Eggs: 2km 400, 5km 1000, 10km 2000

Pokestop: 100

Evolving: 1000

New Pokemon entry: 1200

Daily Bonus: 1000 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 4000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 20, great 100, excellent 200

Experience from Lucky Egg+ Event Bonus

Eggs: 2km 800, 5km 2000, 10km 4000

Pokestop: 200

Evolving: 2000

New Pokemon entry: 2400

Daily Bonus: 2000 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 8000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 100, great, 200, excellent 400

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.
