Legacy Special Box List

With the recent split focus of Ultra and Adventure boxes, this breakdown now can take a deeper look when analyzing these specialized sales.Ultra Boxes, when applicable, will be compared additionally against other recent Ultra Boxes containing 15+ Raid Passes. Adventure Boxes will be ranked primarily with a value of 0 to Raid Passes. Following each subsection, a parenthetical ranking will be provided which includes Raid Passes at full value for comparison for where it’s true value ranking falls.

These breakdowns will assume a value of 0 to Lucky Eggs. Lucky Eggs currently provide 0 value to most players over level 38 and are readily available in almost every Legacy Special Box, throwing off price evaluations that include them. A level cap increase is likely not too far in the future, but it is unknown if such an increase will bring actual unlocks with it, so it’s safe to view them as being worthless for any players 38+ for now, especially for those players not maxing Pokemon (the only benefit to leveling up). With the influx of experience from gifting and friendship, XP has become a very poor indicator of experience, furthering the uselessness of Lucky Eggs.This is mitigated in countries allowing PoI submission to level 40 trainers.

While players will find utility in Super Incubators over traditional Incubators if constantly running 9 Eggs or rushing to complete Research, a majority of players will find their gameplay mechanics identical; they each hatch 3 Eggs. For this reason, when discussing Super Incubator prices they are directly comparable to Incubators. With the recent split of Ultra and Adventure boxes providing more Incubators, we may revisit this idea in the future. Send feedback to NoLucksGiven.

The value of Incense fluctuates based on availability/time during CD and meta-relevance of the CD Pokemon. With many upcoming Sinnoh species to be featured during Community Day, many players may value these higher, though their value fluctuates wildly from player to player.

Lure Modules are the trickiest item to evaluate with their value dependent on stop and spawn density while also factoring other nearby players, as others can lure for you. 100s of players can share the same lures, making them difficult to evaluate. Lures are further diminished with the appeal of new specialized lures. Analysis including lures will also factor against previous LSB containing all other premium items (except Lucky Eggs, worth 0).

Any items that can be obtained by spinning PokeStops are also calculated as zero in the calculations. Consider increasing your Item Storage instead, an investment that will quickly pay for itself if you value items you can receive from spins.

Special

This often seen 2-2 split on Raid Passes and Incubators is a 4% discount, ranking this box 130th all time.

Factoring in it’s 2 Star Piece, this is a 20% discount, ranking this sale 118th. Despite this being the only way to currently gain Star Piece, this box should be skipped for sure.

Ultra

16 Raid Passes is not a bad start. Less than 20 past sales have offered passes at this rate. Players that primarily wish to spend coins towards raiding may value this box.

With 4 Incubators, this 32.73% discount ranks 59th all time. This makes this box a mediocre option for those who like incubating and raiding, or those just looking for the best deals.

Comparing this box with other recent sales including >15 Raid Passes, 4 Incubators sits as a nice average. Really, this box is fine. Of course, Star Piece and Incense are missing, but this is a fine box for hardcore raiders.

Adventure

Adventure Boxes will be ranked primarily with a value of 0 to Raid Passes. Following each subsection, a parenthetical ranking will be provided which includes Raid Passes at full value for comparison for where it’s comparative true value ranking falls.

16 Incubators is not impressive. This sale ranks 14th on Incubators alone, a 38.33% discount (including Raid Passes, this ranking drops to 37th).

It’s been a month and a half since we’ve seen a sale with over 16 Incubators, so this is relatively better. We may see the Adventure box trend around 15-16, rather than 17+ going forward. However, it cannot be ignored that in the past 8 months, since the addition of the Adventure box, 10/14 previous boxes have been strictly better than this one.
