Rare regional Pokémon are finally within reach this weekend as Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth hatch from 10 km eggs-offering players everywhere a chance to add these elusive creatures to their Pokédex for the first time in months.
However, the challenge during the event weekend is they cannot be found in the wild, and instead can only be found in eggs.
How to get Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth in Pokémon Go this weekend
Catch your weekend with Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth by pairing 10 km eggs with limited-time quests and field research bonuses, hatch each once the program’s events go live, and keep an eye on the in-game news for specific boost windows and increased spawn rates.
The only way you can get regional Pokémon Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth during the Go Tour Hoenn event is from hatching 10 km eggs.
To get 10 km eggs, you’ll need to spin PokéStops. The good news is the three regional Pokémon (Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth) will be the only Pokémon in the 10 km egg pool, making this process a little easier than most rare Pokémon appearances in eggs.
Remember, the 10 km egg pool will only change during event hours, which takes place on Feb. 25 and 26 between 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in your local time.
Also, know that Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth are all available to find shiny, if you are super lucky.
Tips for getting Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth
Power up your Remote Raid Passes for the weekend spotlight hours, when Torkoal raids ramp up around 6 PM local time. Check PokéStops and Gyms for 10 km eggs, as Tropius and Relicanth hatch from them at higher rates during this event. Trade with friends holding these Pokémon if raids or eggs fall short, or join local communities for egg hatching parties to boost your odds. Spin every Photo Disc you see to collect more eggs before Monday.
Getting a 10 km egg from spinning a PokéStop is completely random. You’ll just have to make sure to spin the Stops and quickly hatch and 2 or 5 km eggs to make room for the 10 km eggs.
To help maximize egg space, we recommend not opening any gifts from friends while you have open egg slots. You also should not fight any Team Go Rocket leaders while having an open slot, as the 12 km egg reward will go there. If you have nine eggs, the 12 km egg will go into the extra storage anyway, so just hold your Rocket Radars until your egg inventory is full.
If you didn’t get lucky enough to complete these missing Pokédex entries, your friends may have hatched some, so it doesn’t hurt to ask for a trade.
Tips to get more 10 km eggs during Go Tour Hoenn
Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth were obtainable via 10km eggs during the 2023 Go Tour: Hoenn Global event, and similar mechanics applied in past iterations. No Go Tour: Hoenn event is confirmed for this weekend in February 2026, but these tips maximize 10km egg collection during such events based on player strategies from prior tours.
Preparation Steps
Clear your egg inventory the day before by hatching all non-10km eggs (prioritize 2km/5km first) to create space-aim for 9 empty slots. Stock up on incubators via the shop or tasks; avoid opening gifts or battling Team Rocket, as they add unwanted eggs. Activate Adventure Sync for passive distance if walking limits you.
Spinning Strategy
Spin PokéStops rapidly during event hours (typically 10am-6pm local time), focusing on lures or high-traffic areas for faster refills. Cycle through diverse stops in loops longer than 2 hours to potentially boost 10km drop rates (unconfirmed theory, but reported effective). Prioritize gyms with gold badges on your team, as some players note higher 10km odds there.
Hatching Cycle
Hatch incoming 2km/5km eggs immediately to free slots and keep spinning-don’t touch 10km eggs until your bag is full of them (up to 9). Repeat: spin to fill with 10km, then hatch and refill. Expect ~1 in 5 spins to yield 10km during boosted events; 5-10 eggs give ~62-95% odds of all three regionals (random which hatches).
Location Tips
Head to parks or urban areas in Lelystad with dense PokéStops for efficiency.[user-information] Walk or bike steadily (use a backpack if needed); events often boost shiny odds in these eggs. Post-event, eggs remain hatchable anytime.
How many 10km eggs to hatch all 3 Hoenn regionals
During the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event, the three Hoenn regionals-Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth-hatched exclusively from 10km eggs with equal probability (about 33% each per egg). The minimum is 3 eggs (one of each, pure luck), but averages and probabilities provide realistic targets based on player analyses from 2023.
Expected Numbers
On average, players needed about 6 eggs to get all three, assuming even odds and no duplicates early on. Half of players got them in 6 or fewer, while others required 7+ due to repeats (e.g., multiple Tropius).
Probability Table
This table shows cumulative chances of hatching all three from event 10km eggs (equal odds model).
| 10km Eggs | Chance of All 3 |
|---|---|
| 37% | |
| 56% | |
| 62% (most likely minimum target) | |
| 75% | |
| 84% | |
| 95% (near-certain) |
Factors Affecting Odds
Shiny chances were boosted (~1/64 per egg), but species remained random-real data showed slight biases (e.g., more Tropius). If you already have one regional, subtract 1 egg from targets (e.g., 4 eggs for 62% chance of the missing two). No such event is active in February 2026, but eggs from past tours remain hatchable.
