Pokémon Go's 'Sandile Hatch Day' Timed Research provides easy access to Sandile in 2km Eggs for six hours on Saturday, 17th October.

Between 11am and 5pm local time, expect a boosted shiny hatch rate and Timed Research to complete along the way.

Unlike the previous Pokémon Go Hatch Day 'Fire and Ice', this has both free and Premium Timed Research up for grabs, with the latter decreasing the 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance to 1/4, along with 1 Star Piece and 2 Super Incubators on top. This guide features the steps and rewards for both.
