Easy Ways to Get 10km Eggs in Pokémon GO

Tired of hatching endless Bunnelby from 2km eggs? You aren't alone.

In the Precious Paths season (Winter 2025), 10km Eggs are the only way to get high-tier powerhouses like Frigibax, Larvesta, and Dreepy. However, unlike 7km eggs, which you can get easily from gifts, 10km purple eggs are notoriously rare.

This guide explains the exact drop mechanics, the current egg pool for December 2025, and the only guaranteed method to get a 10km Egg every single week.

1. The 3 Best Ways to Get 10km Eggs in Pokémon GO

In this part, we'll walk you through the 3 easy ways to earn 10km Eggs in Pokémon GO, maximizing your chances of hatching something truly special!

Quick Summary: Where to Find 10km Eggs

Method	Source	Drop Rate	Reliability
1. Standard	Spinning PokéStops & Gyms	~10-20% (RNG)	Low
2. Guaranteed	Adventure Sync (50km Reward)	100%	Best
3. Special	Special Research/Events	Varies	Situational

Way 1: Spin PokéStops and Gyms

This is the most common way to get a 10km Egg, but only if you have at least one empty Egg slot. It is purely based on RNG (Random Number Generation). So keep spinning PokéStops regularly, and check the rewards section for any 10km Eggs that may pop up.

To maximize your chances, try to visit a high-traffic area with multiple PokéStops or Gyms, and spin them often during events where 10km Eggs are more likely to drop.

Way 2: Weekly Adventure Sync Rewards

Most players rely on luck, but pro players rely on Adventure Sync. This is the only way to guarantee a 10km Egg drop. It's also the most reliable long-term method for obtaining 10km Eggs.

Each week, Pokémon GO rewards players based on the total distance walked 50km milestone. If you qualify and have at least one free Egg slot, and at least one free Pokémon storage slot, You may receive a 10km Adventure Sync Egg.

The Adventure Sync Egg Pool is often better than standard 10km Eggs. Currently, it has a higher chance of dropping rare Dragon-types like Dreepy and Gible.

Way 3: Special Research & Seasonal Events

While PokéStops are random, Niantic often releases special events where 10km Eggs are either guaranteed rewards or have significantly boosted drop rates. You can join the following special events and win 10km Eggs.

• Seasonal & Timed Research: During major events (like the "Precious Paths" season or the annual "GO Tour"), completing Special Research lines or Timed Research tasks often rewards you directly with 10km Eggs.
• Event-Specific Drop Pools: Keep an eye on the "Today" tab for event bonuses. During specific events (like Adventure Week or Dragon-themed events), the drop rate for 10km Eggs from PokéStops is often increased, or the 10km Egg pool is temporarily upgraded to include Shiny-boosted Pokémon.
• Community Days: On certain Community Days, 10km Eggs may drop more frequently or contain the Community Day Pokémon with a high chance of being Shiny.

2. Current 10km Egg Pool (Precious Paths Season)

The Precious Paths season has refreshed the egg pool, bringing some of the most powerful and new Paldean Pokémon into the 10km rotation.

It is critical to understand that there are two different 10km Egg pools. The egg you get from spinning a PokéStop has different Pokémon inside than the egg you get from walking 50km (Adventure Sync).

Standard 10km Eggs (From PokéStops)

Obtained by spinning Photo Discs at PokéStops or Gyms.

This season, Niantic has focused on Steel and Fairy types. The "Chase" Pokémon here is Tinkatink, a newer addition that evolves into the massive hammer-wielding Tinkaton.

Rarity Tier	Pokémon	Shiny?	Combat Value (Why you want it)
Tier 1 (Common)	Beldum	✅	Evolves into Metagross (#1 Steel-type Attacker in the game). Essential for Raids.
	Togedemaru	✅	Mostly a Dex filler, but useful in specific PvP cups.
Tier 3 (Uncommon)	Carbink	❌	An absolute "Tank" for the Great League PvP. Very hard to kill.
	Turtonator	✅	A rare Dragon/Fire type that is difficult to find in the wild.
Tier 5 (Ultra Rare)	Tinkatink	❌	The Grand Prize. Evolves into Tinkaton (Fairy/Steel). Excellent typing for battling Dragons.
	Larvesta	✅	Remains one of the rarest hatches. Evolves into Volcarona (Top Bug/Fire Attacker).

Adventure Sync 10km Eggs (Weekly 50km Reward)

Obtained ONLY on Monday at 9 AM if you walked 50km+ the previous week.

The Adventure Sync pool is widely considered superior this season because it removes the "junk" filler Pokémon. It focuses heavily on Dragon-types and Pseudo-Legendaries.

• Dreepy: The "Pseudo-Legendary" of the Galar region. Evolves into Dragapult, which is incredibly fast and hits hard in Master League.
• Drampa: The Normal/Dragon type. It has a high Shiny rate (approx. 1/64) compared to wild spawns, making this egg the best way to shiny hunt it.
• Beldum: Also appears here, giving you another shot at the shiny.
• Bagon: Evolves into Salamence. Essential for Dragon-type raid teams.

3. How to Hatch Eggs Faster Without Walking 50km

Let's be honest: walking 50km (31 miles) every single week for the guaranteed Adventure Sync reward is physically demanding. That is roughly 7km of walking every single day.

If you have a busy job, live in a rural area, or simply can't walk that distance, you can use location-simulation tools to bridge the gap. Rather than missing out on the Monday reward, you can use TunesKit Location Changer to simulate movement, and thus secure the 50km reward.

This tool lets you set up auto walk in Pokémon GO, control your movement, and teleport anywhere in the world—all while avoiding the need to physically walk those long distances.

Here is how to hatch eggs in Pokémon GO faster without walking via TunesKit Location Changer.

Step 1 Download and install TunesKit Location Changer on Windows or Mac. Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. Choose the Pokémon icon under Game Mode to start.

Step 2 The map will appear in the TunesKit interface. There are five modes for you to choose from. You can select the two-spot movement mode in the upper right corner.

Type a location in the search box or choose an ending location on the map. Then set the movement mode, such as walking, bicycling, motorcycling, or driving; set a uniform speed or variable speed. After confirming, click Plan Route.

Step 3 TunesKit will provide you with 3 routes, choose one and click Start Moving. Then check the PokéStops and spin them to collect any eggs (including 10km Eggs). Once you have 10km Eggs, place them in incubators. You can simulate walking around your virtual location to hatch them, even though you're not physically walking.

4. Different Types of Pokémon GO Eggs

In Pokémon GO, Eggs come in 5 main types, each with different distances required to hatch and varying Pokémon pools. Understanding these can help you plan your egg-hatching strategy for the best results. Here's a quick breakdown:

2km Eggs

These eggs typically contain common Pokémon, like Pidgey, Rattata, or other low-tier species. However, event-specific Pokémon and special spawns can sometimes pop up in these eggs, making them worthwhile for newer or returning players.

5km Eggs

5km Eggs often have a mix of common and mid-tier Pokémon, such as Machop, Dratini, or Eevee. These eggs can also feature Pokémon with regional exclusives, depending on the event or season.

7km Eggs

These eggs are often linked to gifts received from friends. Pokémon from these eggs can include Alolan forms, such as Alolan Geodude or Alolan Vulpix, and some rare regional variants. During special events, you might also encounter rarer or event-themed Pokémon.

10km Eggs

10km Eggs are the rarest and often contain some of the most coveted Pokémon, such as Pseudo-Legendaries (Baxcalibur, Dragapult), or rare species like Larvesta. Hatching these eggs is a long but rewarding process, making them especially valuable for players looking to add rarer Pokémon to their collection.

12km Eggs (Introduced in 2021)

These are the newest additions to the egg pool and often contain exclusive Dark and Poison-type Pokémon like Salandit and Vullaby, which are only available from these eggs. They are usually obtained by defeating Team GO Rocket leaders or through special events.

Each egg type offers unique rewards, but if you're hunting for rare Pokémon or trying to complete your Pokédex, 10km Eggs are worth the effort.
