Between October 26th and November 1st, Pokémon Go's Halloween special has increased the spawn rate of the following Pokémon:

  • Drowzee
  • Hypno
  • Gastly
  • Haunter
  • Gengar
  • Zubat
  • Golbat
  • Meowth
  • Cubone
  • Marowak

I started an incubation of a 5km egg around the same time the event started, and the egg finally hatched into a Meowth.

Before my egg hatched I incubated another 5km egg, and since Eggs are predetermined, does my egg have a higher change of hatching one of the Pokémon with an increased spawn rate or are eggs not affected by the increased spawn rate?

  • Anecdotal evidence, but I have only hatched 2-3 tentacool, a clefairy, and a paras or two during this event.

  • Maybe edit your title to be more specific and match your real question within the body.

As far as I know (and confirmed by this website) the only thing that is modified is the number of candies you recieve by hatching the egg (which the range is doubled).

Hatching a Meowth during the event was just luck (or badluck depending on how you see it).

So to your question : "Are eggs affected by the Halloween event?"

Yes, by doubling the range of candies they give on hatch.

    When hatching an egg, the range of possible candies received has doubled. I received an odd number of candy from an egg.

  • @Jerry this happened to me as well. 13 candy for a Magikarp.

  • added the specification, but yeah, I thought that doubled was clear enough to be the range. My bad.

The species of the eggs which players had stockpiled prior to Halloween did not appear to be affected, in any of the numerous reports of hatch contents.

However: Eggs which were generated during the event were most assuredly affected by the spooky spawn table. Players who hatched many eggs ended up getting proportionally more Meowth and Ghastly.
