Event boxes
Are they great, good o bad inversions?

I bought the Great Box for the incubators and the raid passes. Those incenses were useful too since I had 3 untouched Lucky Eggs before getting it.
That's 3 passes that would have been 300 C
7 incenses (560C)
4 super incubators (4 normal ones would have cost 600C)
10 razzberries
Box is 780, would have spent 860 just for the passes and incenses separately. Total with normal incubators would have been 1460. And the bonus is faster hatching and some extra razzies for easier wild catches. Seems worth it to me.
The boxes Niantic comes up with are usually, if you ask me, kinda bad.
But I think it mostly depends on what you're looking for in a box.
Personally I almost never use Incense, so I don't really need the Ultra Box.
Sure, more Lucky eggs and Super Incubators are nice, but I don't hatch that many eggs nowadays and still have some Lucky eggs saved up.
I do however think that the Ultra Box atleast is full of things people might want.
As for the other two, I doubt many pay to get Razz berries or Pinap berries.
If I'm going to buy any box this time it will probably be the cheapest Special box. Not for the Incense and certainly not for the damn berries, but atleast I save 120 coins on the raid passes.
I am not sure if they are good value but people stopped buying incubators because they didn't need the candy. Will they suddenly buy incubators because there is twice as much of the candy we don't need?
They can be good for cheap raid passes...but with raid fatigue being a thing, and the numbers of players doing raids dropping so much, it is hard to justify buying passes.
I guess it can be good value if you are interested in the stuff in them...but I don't use the incense I have so I don't need more.
Finding it hard to justify wanting to buy one.
The summary of what I read here is that if you value raid passes only then get only special box
If you value raid passes and super incubators but don't value eggs then get Great Box.
If you value raid passes, super incubators AND value eggs then Ultra Box is worth it.
All of the above assume zero value to berries and incense.
