Pokemon Go Easter Event: Eggstravaganza Goes Live

Pokemon Go is promising to "put a spring in your step" with its latest event: an Easter "Eggstravaganza" that runs for the next week. The biggest boost comes in the form of a souped-up egg hunt. 2 km eggs, the most common eggs in the game, will now hatch a greater variety of Pokemon. Hatching each one of those eggs will land you extra candy, too.

Throughout the Eggstravaganza, all players will get double the XP. You'll level even faster with Lucky Eggs, which will give you four times the XP during the event and are half-off in the in-game shop.

Pokemon Go's Easter event goes from today until April 20. Meanwhile, game creator Niantic is teasing new features and a new cooperative mode sometime in the future, as the game maintains its huge popularity (65 million-plus monthly active users).
