A Super Incubator is an incubating device that significantly decreases the time taken to hatch Pokemon GO eggs. It works the same way as a Blue Incubator or an Unlimited Incubator. However, the catch is that it hatches different KM eggs in a short period. If you have a 2 KM egg and need to get a Pokemon from it, you have to cover the two-kilometer distance. But, with the Super Incubator, you don’t need to do so.

Understanding how to use Super Incubators in Pokemon GO is crucial to maximizing gameplay. These items can be purchased from the in-game store, but knowing how to use them effectively is key.

Here's everything you need to know about Super Incubators, including how to obtain them.

Super Incubators in Pokemon GO are rare egg-hatching items that are primarily introduced during exciting events. They can also be earned as rewards for completing specific research tasks.

Niantic occasionally adds them to the in-game shop, where you can purchase them using PokeCoins. Keep in mind that these devices are temporary features, so you'll have to wait for the developer to bring them back.

There are no cost-free ways to get your hands on the Super Incubators in Pokemon GO. You have to spend your real money in the store or in the Web Store and then make the purchase. The other Incubators, like the Blue and the Unlimited, can be obtained via leveling up, making an in-game purchase, completing research tasks, and gaining through events.

The standard Incubators of Pokemon GO have the same function as the Super Incubators in the game. However, the latter has a reduced coverable distance than others. It is believed to hatch Pokemon eggs 1.5x faster than others.

If a 5 KM egg is placed inside a Super Incubator, you need not walk for five kilometers. The egg will hatch before you complete the lap. To be precise, you will only have covered 3.335 KM with this item in use. There is a formula to calculate the required distance for an egg to hatch, and that is by multiplying the KM by 0.6667.

Most importantly, Super Incubators can only be used three times a day. So, make sure you use it for the highest KM egg. The ongoing event called the Extended Bonuses: Cleffa Hatch Day has brought back Super Incubators.

For $19.99, you can get 15 Super Incubators, 10 Basic Incubators, and five Poffins from the Web Store. Moreover, you can also get five Super Incubators, five Basic Incubators, and two Lucky Eggs.
