When is Pokemon GO Cleffa Hatch Day?

Cleffa Hatch Day in Pokemon GO takes place on Sunday, April 28, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.

As we gear up for the event, a few early extended bonuses will be available starting at 10 AM on Friday, April 26. These bonuses will also end when the event concludes at 5 PM on April 28.

All Event Bonuses for Cleffa Hatch Day

The fun begins before the event with the extended bonuses for Cleffa Hatch Day. On Friday, April 26, players will enjoy the start of an extended bonus where all eggs placed into incubators will have their hatch distance cut in half. This will continue through the end of Cleffa Hatch Day.

During the actual event on April 28, the following additional bonuses will go into effect:

  • Cleffa will hatch more frequently from 2KM eggs
  • Double candy from hatching eggs
  • Increased chance to hatch Shiny Cleffa
  • More frequent 2 KM egg drops at PokeStops

There are plenty of research opportunities during hatch day, including event-themed Field Research that will start on Friday, April 26. This themed field research will help players earn plenty of XP and Stardust.

During Hatch Day, players will also be able to take on the event-themed Timed Research. This free Timed Research must be completed during Cleffa Hatch Day, and players will be rewarded with a Super Incubator and a hefty dose of XP.

If you’re interested in even more research, you’ve got the option to buy into the Paid Timed Research for $1 USD or local equivalent. The paid Timed Research will activate an additional bonus of double stardust for hatching eggs during the event. It will also reward you with a Star Piece, Super Incubator, and XP upon completing the tasks. Like the free Timed Research, all tasks have to be finished before Cleffa Hatch Day ends.

Cleffa Hatch Day Event Bundles

There will be Cleffa Hatch Day bundles in both the web store and in-game shop for players to spend those PokeCoins.
