Pokémon GO Munchlax Hatch Day: shiny odds, tips and hundo CP cover image

Get ready for Munchlax Hatch Day in Pokémon GO.

Munchlax Hatch Day is coming to Pokémon GO. On Saturday, August 9 between the extended hours of 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time, trainers will be able to hatch Munchlax more frequently from 2 km Eggs.

There are a range of event bonuses during the day, making this a fun and rewarding Pokémon GO event. Munchlax is a baby Pokémon, meaning that it dosen't spawn in the wild. While some Trainers will have this shiny already, for most, it'll be their best chance to encounter it.

So, what are the event details and how can you make the most of Munchlax Hatch Day in Pokémon GO?

Pokémon GO Munchlax Hatch Day event details and bonuses

Here is everything you need to know about Munchlax Hatch Day:

  • Munchlax will hatch much more frequently from 2 km Eggs. You’ll also have an increased chance of hatching Shiny Munchlax.
  • 2× Candy from hatching Eggs.
  • 2 km Eggs will will drop more frequently from PokéStops.

All Pokémon GO players will also get a free Timed Research. This will award a Super Incubator and 5000 XP.

There will also be an additional paid Timed Research. This will cost $2. The rewards will be:

  • 2x Hatch Stardust for the event duration
  • 1x Star Piece
  • 2x Super Incubator
  • 2500 XP

If you plan to hatch a lot of Eggs, the extra Stardust is a good incentive to pick up the Ticket. The two extra incubators help as well.

What are the Munchlax Hatch Day Shiny Odds?

During any Pokémon GO Hatch Day, the shiny odds are 1 in 10. That applies to Munchlax Hatch Day, and is a significant boost to standard odds. Only Eggs collected during the event are boosted, and this means Eggs collected during but hatched after the event also have these shiny odds.

Munchlax Hatch Day: 100% IV hundo CP

The 100% IV hundo CP value to keep an eye out for with any Munchlax you hatch is 1081 CP.

Prepare your storage with extended bonuses

Like we have seen for the last few Pokémon GO Hatch Day events, Munchlax Hatch Day will have extended bonuses. These will apply from Thursday, August 7 at 10:00 a.m, and last until the end of the Hatch Day.

These bonuses will be:

  • 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed into Incubators.

These bonuses will help Trainers prepare their storage Pokémon GO. After all, there is no way to delete Eggs in Pokémon GO. Before this bonus started being introduced ahead of Hatch Days, that always created an issue. Spinning any Pokéstop almost always gives you eggs. Fill up on Eggs, and you can't obtain any of the special 2km Eggs from the event.

So, by making the most of this 1/2 Hatch Distance, you can shed your Eggs on the morning of the Munchlax Hatch Day. This will not fix the issue entirely (Egg deletion please) but make it easier to clear space before the event begins.

Pokémon GO Munchlax Hatch Day: Tips and tricks

Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of Munchlax Hatch Day in Pokémon GO:

  • 12 km Eggs can yield you a lot of stardust. If you are planning to purchase the 2x Stardust bonus, you can make the most of this. Gather 12 of these 12 km Eggs before the event. Walk them to almost hatched before the event (using the 1/2 distance bonus). Hatch these with the 2x Stardust Bonus AND a Starpiece.
  • Head to a location with lots of Pokéstops. The more stops, the easier it is to get 2 km Eggs.
  • Make sure you get as many Eggs as possible before the event ends. These will still have the same Shiny chances, regardless of when you hatch them.
  • Have fun!
