How Many KMs Do You Think It'll Take To Hatch Manaphy?

Title. Manaphy is likely going to be a special research breakthrough like Mew, Celebi, and soon Jirachi. What's interesting is that it's pretty much the only mythical where you have to hatch it from an egg. A cool looking egg. What I think will happen, is that one of the rewards will give us a Phione, but when you finish the quest, it'll give players a Manaphy egg to hatch. Question is, how many KMs?

I hope not more than 20~25km, even if the worst case scenario here is half the distance needed to receive all the rewards from Adventure Sync in a week.

Also, the order of rewards you proposed could also switch between each other, since in DPPt you had to hatch a Manaphy in order to breed it and then you'd get an egg with Phione... So who knows? Maybe we'll need to hatch one to complete the task and then get the other egg as a reward to hatch too.

If Niantic is lazy (like they usually are) the quest will probably be just like a Mew or Celebi quest, and don't forget they still need Jirachi done before they can move on to them. See Shedninja, Deoxys, and others for a view of how much they like to try new things.

This is really the only mythical I could see having to be hatched, mostly as thats how its almost always/if not always shown being hatched, maybe we'll get a manaphy quest and it will be in a pseudo 10-th eggslot and we have to walk it 20 km

Assuming they do go the egg route 20k would be a good guess. IIRC the egg in the main series took a ridiculous amount of walking to hatch. I think it's safe to assume Manaphy and Phione will be tied into the same special research somehow.

My guess? 50km. If you had asked before Adventure Sync, I would have said 40km (going by the Buddy Distance vs Hatching Distance formula of approx. twice as much to hatch as to walk) but we now have a set weekly measurable of 50km, and I think Niantic would work with that.

Niantic is moving towards having Quests that are hard to complete AND have imposed time limits. Spin Pokestops for 7 straight days, catch 108 Pokémon - twice. Walk 10km - twice. Etc. Now we have Adventure Sync, and 50km is the highest reward. I think Niantic would set a Mythical Egg to hatch at that amount of KM.

I'm not sure if I would be happy about that or not.

I was just going to say the same thing.

The Mew quests were far too easy (though "Catch a Ditto" turned out to be a nightmare for some).
Celebi weren't that much harder, but made the quest last longer.
The Halloween quest-thing was perhaps the toughest of the three.

I really hope that Niantic continues this way because it's much more fun to have a real challenge.
