Price Justifications
These breakdowns will assume a value of 0 to Lucky Eggs. Lucky Eggs currently provide 0 value to players over level 38 and are readily available in almost every Legacy Special Box, throwing off price evaluations that include them. A level cap increase is likely not too far in the future, but it is unknown if such an increase will bring actual unlocks with it, so it’s safe to view them as being worthless for any players 38+ for now, especially for those players not maxing Pokemon (the only benefit to leveling up). With the influx of experience from gifting and friendship, XP has become a very poor indicator of experience, furthering the uselessness of Lucky Eggs.
While players will find utility in Super Incubators over traditional Incubators if constantly running 9 Eggs or rushing to complete Research, a majority of players will find their gameplay mechanics identical; they each hatch 3 Eggs. For this reason, when discussing Super Incubator prices they are directly comparable to Incubators.
The value of Incense fluctuates based on availability/time during CD and meta-relevance of the CD Pokemon. With many upcoming Hoenn species to be featured during Community Day, many players may value these higher, though their value fluctuates wildly from player to player.
Any items that can be obtained by spinning PokeStops are also calculated as zero in the calculations. Consider increasing your Item Storage instead, an investment that will quickly pay for itself if you value items you can receive from spins.
Special
A return to a 4% discount on Raid Passes and Incubators makes this deal significantly worse than recent Special boxes. 4% sales are the practically the lowest offered discount, ranking only ahead of boxes that aren’t actually sales.
The topic of Lucky Eggs always comes up in sale breakdowns. This position remains unchanged even with the current XP incentives the Lunar New Year event provides. This XP is still a drop in the bucket of that offered by Friendship level ups and remains a poor indicator of experience, relevant only to those in countries with Level 40 PoI submission.
Great
The recent trend of horrible Great boxes continues this event. A 5/3 split on Raid Passes and Incubators is a 17.89% sale ranking it 57th.
This box also offers Incense though only 3. Considering boxes with Incense (and ranking it against other boxes also containing Star Piece) this 29.09% discount ranks 64th all time, actually decreasing it’s rank (because 3 Incense is not a lot).
At this rate, for those interested in Incense, it’s a better deal to purchase them alone in bulk and otherwise save for better deals.
Ultra
A 12/10 split on Raid Passes and Incubators represents a 45.19% discount, ranking this box 5th all time. While two recent sales outrank it (14/12 and 8/16 splits), this deal is still one of the best. The 12/10 split is the same as the often mentioned Water Festival Ultra Box, so it is quite a justifiable pickup.
This box also features 8 Star Piece (to the Water Festival’s 18). This 52.26% deal ranks this box 7th all time and makes it very comparable to the previously mentioned boxes despite dropping in rank.
As noted in the previous event’s LSB analysis, two recent Ultra Boxes contained amazing sales that will make other sales seems worse in comparison. The Holiday and New Years event LSBs were almost guaranteed to be followed by worse sales. Many players should feel confident picking up these boxes.
