The Anniversary Box contains 6 Incubators alongside other nice items (2 Raid Passes + PokeStop items) and costs 1200 Coins. If you're really into Egg hatching it might be worth buying, even though it's not one of the biggest sales we've seen in the game.
There have been reports of some species that didn't appear in Eggs that started appearing. Johto starters, Houndour and Teddiursa (all of them except poor Meganium are quite decent for Gyms) appear in 5km Eggs. Mantine, Gligar and maybe Pineco have dropped from 10km to 5km which is also nice as the 10km Eggs will have better chances of giving us more rare species. Finally, 2km Eggs tend to spawn more Ash Hat Pichu for the duration of the First Anniversary Event, so at least those are easier to get than I originally expected.
I was also upset because Eggs are a great way to obtain Candy for species that are somewhat rare to encounter and you need 125 Candy for.That's good to hear. I've been so upset over the lack of Johto starters in the eggs. It took them way too long for that to happen, but at least I can hopefully get better hatches among the five kilometer eggs now. I've already evolved a Chikorita and Cyndaquil due to their respective type events, but I still need more Totodile candies and preferably a wonder Totodile too. Mantine being dropped down to the five kilometer eggs is definitely good since it was too common.
I've hatched a lot of eggs lately, but nothing too interesting. I've hatched a few Krabby, Magnemite, Diglett, Execute, Geodude, Lickitung, Mantine, Pineco and Dratini. At least more Pokemon for the Steel and Dragon medals are nice and I can get other Steel type by evolving Pineco, but I was so annoyed with the Mantine. At least I can hope for some better eggs in the future. Maybe I'll have a better chance of finding Larvitar or Chansey eggs now.
I'm afraid I won't be hatching lots of 5km Eggs in the near future. I'd rather focus on 2km for the infinite use Incubator until I get the Ash Cap Pichu and 10km for the 3-shot Incubators. 5km Eggs may now have Chikorita, but they also have lots of other species I don't need, and Cyndaquil/Totodile/Mantine/Gligar were added on top of it.Im hoping in that case to hatch a Chikorita or two so I can finally get Meganium. I'll probably pick up the gift box since it sounds nice.

Zexy said:I believe that unlike the Kanto starters, for a long while, the developers wanted to give the Johto ones a different approach which is why they didn't appear in Eggs. It seems like they are all more common encounters than the Kanto ones. There was no need for an event just for them unlike the Kanto ones since we did get a Water, Grass and Fire event by now. Meanwhile the Kanto ones were available as 2km Eggs to compensate for their rarity in the wild.
Then Raid Battles hit us and the Kanto starters got their final forms available as Rank 4 Bosses while the Johto starters got their middle forms available as Rank 1 Bosses. After that happened I did believe that the differences among the ways to obtain the two sets of starters was intentional, so they would insist on keep the Johto trio out of Eggs. I must admit that this change caught me by surprise, but it is much welcome!
I'm also done with Typhlosion/Feraligatr, and the one time I could've caught a Meganium it fled
As for the Steel medal, I'm not basing my entire hopes on Pineco evolutions, that would take lots of Eggs for 1 Forretress register when I need 200. Magnemite are a better option because they tend to nest a lot and some biome spawns them a lot. Dragon medal is pretty much all about the Dratini line, I don't feel like farming Horsea Candy for excess Kingdra even though I do have excess Dragon Scales, using 25 at a time for XP evolutions sounds better. I've come to terms with the fact that it'll take way too long to get that medal so I'm not trying too hard for it.
