The super incubator was a new type of incubator introduced in Pokémon GO back in the September equinox event. As you might suspect, it speeds up hatching by applying a distance multiplier, which basically requires you to walk less to meet the hatching requirements.
In this guide, we're going to go through exactly how the super incubator works, how to get it, and tips on how best to use it to hatch your eggs more efficiently.
How does the super incubator work in Pokémon GO?
The super incubator applies a 0.667x multiplier to the distance you walk while hatching an egg. As a result, you don't have to walk quite as far to hatch an egg as you would with a standard incubator.
Here's exactly how much time it will shave off in a handy chart.
| Egg Type | Distance Required With Super Incubator |
|---|---|
| 2km | 1.333km |
| 5km | 3.333km |
| 10km | 6.666km |
As you can see, it does quite drastically reduce how far you have to walk to hatch an egg. If you want the specifics, it hatches eggs 1.5x faster than the standard incubator.
How do I get a super incubator in Pokémon GO?
Right now, there's no way to get a super incubator unfortunately. It was only available for a limited period in the equinox event last September. We'll update you when, and if, the item makes a return.
Can I own multiple super incubators in Pokémon GO?
You can. There are no limitations on how many super incubators you can own, so go crazy.

I am enjoying the guides for Pokemon Go, but could they not all be contained in one Pokemon Go Guide article.
As it seems this many is not necessary and clutters the site.
That incubator is limited time only during certain occasions. The writer of these articles should resign from whatever "job" they're pretending to do
Are they available now? These things are usually avail. for only a limited time.
@ollietaro No, they aren't. It seems the article failed to mention this.
...As a Pokemon Go player, these articles stopped being useful after the Eevee one, and I already knew that. It's as if someone is looking for any excuse for an article. I only ever went to the Silphroad subreddit for this stuff, sorry. They handle this game scientifically...strange for a game, but it works. I appreciate the news I get from NL, but this is clogging up that news.
Information in this article is false.
The Super Incubator is not available at the moment, not even in the special limited time boxes.
The Super Incubator has been in boxes a few times, but was only sold as stand-alone item briefly on one occasion.
This is a useless, inaccurate article, did someone get paid to write this?
Not again. Wrong info.
Nintendolife I am disappoint.
@loyalroyal1989 more articles = more clicks. More clicks = more money. It's the way all online journalism has gone.
Wow guys pushing Pokemon go much today? Does anyone even still play it? Is it even a Nintendo Game when it's on mobile platform?
Hi @bolt05. Yes.
@Jayronauron You are absolutely right about these GO articles clogging up the regular NL news. Three of these redundant articles were grouped together, thus forcing more important stuff down the list. I don't think that building awareness for the GO game will work well here and there's already plenty of info about it at one google search away.
