With all of the research tasks revolving around eggs, all eggs that are dropped from Pokestops are only 2km eggs. However, with the recent changes to the gamedue to the Coronavirus, eggs hatch twice as fast, so players can quickly hatch them.

There are also four more pokémonwith flower hat variants, being:
All pokémon with these flower hats are unable to evolve. The easiest way to obtain the flower hat Pichu and Togepi is through hatching eggs, as those two are guaranteed to have their costume if hatched during the event. These are all the pokémon that can be hatched via the 2km eggs during the event.
For players who arelooking for a shiny versionof any of these pokémon, now is the chance to keep hatching until a shiny pops out. While hatching eggs doesn’t make getting a shiny any more likely, the event narrows the pool down for getting these specific pokémon.
