<p>Expanding on the somewhat <a href="http://ift.tt/2gxOwoH">limited Christmas event that&#8217;s already underway</a>, <a href="http://5000-449545">Pokemon Go</a> will soon offer some additional reasons to play during the holidays.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Starting on December 25, you&#8217;ll have a better shot at hatching a Togepi, Pichu, and &quot;several other recently found Pokemon&quot; from the Johto region. You&#8217;ll also receive a single-use Incubator every day with your first PokeStop visit.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The new Pokemon mentioned above were <a href="http://ift.tt/2gxOwoH">added earlier this month </a>alongside the special, Christmas-hat-wearing of version of Pikachu (who can <a href="http://ift.tt/2hB5TCm">evolve into a similarly festive Raichu</a>). That Pikachu was only supposed to be available until December 29, but it&#8217;ll now be available for a bit longer, presumably until the end of this new event on January 3. You&#8217;ll also be more likely to find the special Pikachu during this upcoming event.</p>
<p>From December 30 through January 8, you&#8217;ll have a better-than-usual shot at earning Kanto&#8217;s starter Pokemon and their evolutions, including Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise. To make it easier to come across one, lure modules will last a full hour, twice as long as the usual 30 minutes.</p>
