Following the sixth nest migration, Niantic once again pursued a surprise to trainers as a new egg hatch mechanics has been implemented. According to the announcement of Pokémon GO official Twitter account last Thursday, Nov. 3, Pidgey and Rattata can no longer hatch from 2 km eggs.

For 2 km, Pokémon that can no longer hatch at this distance include Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Caterpie, Weedle, Spearow, Pikachu, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Geodude and Magikarp.
