Pokemon Go Hatching 3 5 kilometer eggs Got a couple GREAT VIDEO also XP EVENT FOR THANKSGIVING

‘Pokemon Go’ is available now for iOS and Android devices. (Nintendo)

Pokemon Go is preparing to launch a special week-long Thanksgiving event, during which players receive double the number of XP as usual. But the Lucky Egg item already gives users double XP when it’s activated, so how will this work during the Thanksgiving special event, exactly? Is it possible to get a quadruple bonus, or will the Lucky Egg effect just not apply this week?

Niantic answered this question on Twitter today, confirming that when using a Lucky Egg during the Thanksgiving celebration, players will receive four times the XP as normal.

That is correct. Trainers will earn 4x the XP if they use a Lucky Egg during the celebration. https://twitter.com/twitter_103162_2839430431/status/800715114785574913 …

This presents a huge opportunity for Pokemon trainers to gain a significant amount of XP during the next week. The decision also makes sense for Niantic, as Lucky Eggs can be purchased from the game’s shop and so this will likely result in a major sales boost.

Pokemon Go‘s Thanksgiving event begins on November 23rd, and it concludes the following week on November 30th. So what are the best ways to rake in all the XP possible during that time? Well, you get XP from a lot of basic tasks, including catching and evolving Pokemon. If you have any creatures in your inventory that you are ready to evolve, you might want to wait until tomorrow to do so, as evolving a Pokemon with a Lucky Egg activated will give you 2,000 XP.

To give you an idea of how to make the best use of your time, the following chart illustrates all the ways to get experience points and exactly how much of it you will get if you use a Lucky Egg during the Thanksgiving event, therefore earning a quadruple bonus:

Action	Reward (Using Lucky Egg During Event)
Throw a curveball	40 XP
Get a “nice throw”	40 XP
Get a “great throw”	200 XP
Get an “excellent throw”	400 XP
Hatch a 2km egg	800 XP
Hatch a 5km egg	2000 XP
Hatch a 10km egg	4000 XP
Successfully capture any Pokemon	400 XP
Successfully capture a new Pokemon species	2000 XP
Unsuccessfully capture any Pokemon (i.e. the Pokemon flees)	100 XP
Capture your 100th Pokemon of the same species (then 200th, 300th, etc)	400 XP
Evolve any Pokemon	2000 XP
Visit a Pokestop that has fewer than six items	200 XP
Visit a Pokestop that has six or more items	400 XP
Visit 10 unique Pokestops within 30 minutes	400 XP
Defeat a Pokemon in an enemy gym	400 XP
Successfully clear an enemy gym	200 XP

Pokemon Go Thanksgiving Event (WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SURLY DISAPPOINTED)

CLICK HERE TO NOT HAVE TO READ :)

For Thanksgiving, "Pokemon Go" hopes you invite Pikachu to dinner.

The social mobile game announced this week that it'll have a special Thanksgiving day event, much like it did for Halloween, on which gamers can gain double the points for their Pokemon if they play on the holiday, according to Forbes.

The event begins at 12 a.m. on Nov. 23 and will end on Nov. 30.

Niantic, the creator of the game, said this will hopefully help foster the "Pokemon Go" community.

“It has been an incredible experience since we launched Pokémon GO a few short months ago in July," Niantic said in an announcement. "We are passionate about creating experiences that encourage exploration and promote exercise. We are humbled that hundreds of millions of you around the world have joined us on this journey. So we would like to say thank you – and what better way to say thank you than to celebrate our community."

Players who find candies and Stardust for their Pokemon, which allow the pocket monsters to grow and evolve, will get double the points than normal, according to Forbes.

"I would argue that candy is still definitely the more important currency in Pokémon GO as it’s what allows you to upgrade and evolve while 'ranking up' in GO using XP is still not terribly important after a certain point, but this should be an interesting event all the same," according to Forbes.

It'll be interesting to see if the special event will improve the game's sales. According to Forbes, the aforementioned Halloween event did make it the highest grossing app that week.

In general, "Pokemon Go" has received mixed reactions since it launced this summer. While the free app has sent its players to churches and helped gamers get outside and exercise, the game has also led to increased accidents and medical costs.

Earlier this year, HealthSparq, a company dedicated to helping people make good health care decisions, compiled the total treatment costs that its health plan clients in Washington, Utah, Idaho and Oregon paid for their injuries related to "Pokemon Go." The company compiled the data based on injury and state to compare health costs for different injuries across state borders.

Speechless: A life no longer controlled by stuttering

Gabriel Niculescu never thought he would be able to control his stutter. While speech therapy is common for children its availability becomes lesser as people age, but there are options available to adults.

Some of the most common injuries reported are tripping, car accidents, carpal tunnel syndrome or swiper's thumb, knee injuries and lacerations. A few people have even fallen off cliffs while playing the game.

"Some people see an accident as simply an accident," said Torben Nielsen, senior vice president of product and strategy at HealthSparq. "But would they change their behaviors if they knew how much a fall or car accident could cost them — simply by looking at potential medical bills?"

In Utah, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most expensive injury related to "Pokemon Go" to treat. The cost of treatment can be as high $5,291. The state also has the highest treatment cost of carpal tunnel syndrome compared to data HealthSparq compiled from the other three states.

Health care costs widely vary from state to state, according to HealthSparq. While it is expensive to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in Utah, the state also has the lowest average price for a doctor's office visit compared to Washington, Idaho and Oregon.

Nielsen hopes the data will inform people about the potential costs that come with not paying attention to the surrounding area.

"We're all distracted with technology, but maybe 'Pokemon Go' users will start to be a little more aware of their level of distraction when they understand how much a fall could cost," Nielsen said.

The company has also compiled a list of information and health care costs across the United States, not related to "Pokemon Go," to inform people about health issues and injuries.

Here is the data from HealthSparq:

Carpal Tunnel:

WA $3,540

UT $5,291

ID $4,000

OR $3,892

MRI Knee:

WA $890

UT $820

ID $1,140

OR $1,220

MRI Brain:

WA $1,380

UT $1,340

ID $1,930

OR $1,620

Laceration repair:

WA $1,600

UT $1,120

ID $1,440

OR $3,020

X-ray Knee:

WA $130

UT $70

ID $85

OR $80

Office visit:

Pokemon Card Great Pull From the XY Evolutions Packs!!!!!

check out this video of me OPENING POKEMON CARDS~~!!

Favorite Pokemon Card of All Time

I would like you to post what your favorite Pokemon card of all time is, this can be any card from any set, all you have to do is upload a picture of it, I actually get all the pictures of my cards from PokeBeach and then tell me why it is your favorite card. There are many reasons why it can be your favorite card, it could be because of the artwork, the moves it has, or you just have a good experience with the card. Just please explain why it's your favorite card.

My favorite card of all time would be the Shining Charizard card from Neo Destiny. There are many reasons for this being my favorite card, the first being that Charizard is my favorite Pokemon and the second being that I am obsessed with Shiny Pokemon, I remember when I used to play Pokemon Crystal, I searched for Shiny Pokemon for nearly 100 hours in the game and never found one. I just liked the idea of how Pokemon could be different colors than they were originally attended to be. And the Neo series was my favorite series of Pokemon cards because I really liked the new Pokemon they introduced during that set as well as the G/S/C series being my favorite games to play. I actually do have this card, I am very happy that I finally did get one, I actually got it for free from someone on YouTube which was really nice of them to give it to me for free. So I have this card at my house in a hard holder to make sure it stays in mint condition forever. My second favorite card would be the Charizard from ex Dragon Frontiers that I have on my YouTube page, the only reason it wasn't first is because I don't like how the cards from that set, specifically the holos aren't like the regular holos from just about every other set. But you've heard from me, now it's time to here from you. What is your favorite Pokemon card of all time?
