Uh oh....

I've done fine with regular 10k eggs recently. I only use the infinite and I spun 10k eggs 12/1; 12/2; 12/6; 12/7. Not vast distance of Poke walking either, at 47km and says 11 eggs hatched past week. Gonna get 3km and 2 spots open early in the morning, just in case.

Only the 10k eggs specifically acquired from the Adventure Sync reward for walking 50km in a week guaranteed either a Shinx or Riolu hatch. Until now, anyways. 10k eggs picked up from Pokestops and hatched with Adventure Sync active did not have this guarantee.

Agree, there really is no compelling reason to use this feature. I now make sure my pokemon box if full Sunday night so I DON'T get the eggs. Last time I got 2x 5km eggs which is nearly as bad as getting the dreadful 7km eggs when opening gifts. PMGO has gotten to be a real hassle of late ... remembering to avoid 7km eggs when opening gifts, remembering to avoid eggs Monday at 9AM, dealing with the tedious (but fun) trading system. Add to that the rising number of glitches and bugs (despite weekly forced updates) and the whole thing is getting dreary. Thank the Lord we have a return of Deli Bird to save our holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>implying Niantic announces changes like this on the regular
They only tweeted about the Sinnoh Stone change *after* people had a few days to discover it themselves and bitched up a storm about it. Admittedly they have made some announcements about item changes such as the raid rewards, but those are few and far between. I don't think they've ever formally tweeted about egg shake-ups outside of events, but I could be wrong.

Nobody ever reported proof of hatching anything except gen 4 pokemon from them before this Monday. We wouldn't have thought Shinx or Riolu was guaranteed from the 10k if there wasn't overwhelming proof behind it.

I don't think silver pinaps were in the possible rewards from the beginning, that's good.

By that argument, they should also nerf buddy candy, incubators and dust rewards for catching pokemon, not to speak of the exp bonus from spinning new pokestops and countless other aspects of the game. Spoofers have it better no matter what you do.

I am not at all a fan of the "but it benefits spoofers!" argument. It's pretty apparent they're here to stay, no reason to make the rest of the player base suffer as a result. It's a similar argument that allows intrusive, broken DRM software to be tacked onto perfectly functioning games in an attempt to deter piracy. The ultimate irony there being pirates ALWAYS find ways to crack it and distribute copies without said DRM that result in a more enjoyable experience.

I'm not someone who spoofs, I just don't see the justification in curbing my benefits because someone would rather play with a joystick than their feet.
