Incubators are essential items within Pokmon GO that allow players to hatch Pokmon Eggs. These Eggs are obtained primarily from PokStops and Gifts. Utilizing an incubator initiates the hatching process, with the distance requirement varying based on the specific Egg type (e.g., 2km, 5km, 7km, 10km, and 12km). A player must traverse the required distance with the Egg incubating to hatch the Pokmon contained within.
Acquiring incubators efficiently streamlines Pokmon collection and increases the likelihood of obtaining rare or region-specific Pokmon. Historically, incubators have been a core component of the game’s monetization strategy, incentivizing players to purchase additional incubators to accelerate their progress. Strategic incubator usage contributes significantly to a player’s overall experience and success within Pokmon GO.
