How Do Pokémon Eggs Work?
A vital part of the Pokémon franchise is the use of eggs, which allow players to bring new Pokémon into their team. But just how do these eggs work?
Egg Basics
Pokémon eggs are a mystery to many players, but by understanding the basics, you can increase your chances of hatching the Pokémon you want.
- Egg Groups: Pokémon are grouped into Egg Groups based on their characteristics, such as species. This affects which Pokémon can hatch from an egg.
- Egg Hatching: Eggs take time to hatch, and the process cannot be sped up. The length of incubation depends on the species, so some eggs may take longer to hatch than others.
How to Hatching a Pokémon Egg
To hatching a Pokémon egg, you will need to follow these steps:
- Obtain an egg: You can obtain an egg by breeding Pokémon in the Daycare or obtaining it from another player.
- Incubate the egg: Leave the egg in the Daycare Incubator to incubate and hatch.
- Monitor hatching progress: Check the egg occasionally to see if it has hatched and what the hatched Pokémon species is.
Egg Cycles
| Egg incubation time varies depending on the species. The time it takes an egg to hatch is known as an egg cycle. Here are some estimated egg cycles for different Pokémon species: | Egg Groups | Egg Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Grass/Poison | 5-10 steps | |
| Fire/Water | 10-20 steps | |
| Bugs | 15-40 steps | |
| Dragon | 20-40 steps |
