[[File:Hatching Egg V.png|frame|right|A {{p|Larvesta}} hatching from its Egg]]
A '''Pokémon Egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon Egg'') is an object from which most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are known to hatch. An Egg's shell will usually have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon developing inside, though in the games, this is not the case.

Pokémon Eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[Egg Group]] and opposite gender together and will contain, by default, the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and thus, it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. According to a {{tc|Monsieur}} in [[Coumarine City]], Eggs are not actually eggs and are more like "cradles".

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are also found by hatching them from an Egg created by their evolved forms, either naturally or through use of a held [[incense]]. Unlike other species {{egg|Undiscovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. In the games, [[Legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and only two [[Mythical Pokémon]]—{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}—are capable of breeding, both producing Phione Eggs when bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

==In the games==
Pokémon Eggs have appeared in all games where Pokémon breeding has been available, and were a major plot point in [[Generation II]], in which they were introduced. They have also appeared in several side games.

===Mechanics===
[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An Egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
The amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is determined by the number of [[Egg cycles]] (which are measured in steps) that the player walks when it is in the party (including movement on a [[Bicycle]] or while {{m|Surf}}ing). In-game [[time]] has no direct bearing on Egg hatching.

Eggs utilize the same memory allocation as Pokémon, so the coding structure is very similar. What would be the [[friendship]] value in a Pokémon is the [[Egg cycle]] count for an Egg. Unlike friendship, this value counts down at the end of every Egg cycle.

Since Generation V, an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero. If multiple Eggs become ready to hatch at the same time, the first Egg in the party will hatch first while each subsequent Egg will hatch with each subsequent step.

In Generations III and IV, an Egg will only hatch if its Egg cycle count is zero before an Egg cycle ends (meaning that an extra Egg cycle must be walked). Only one Egg can hatch per Egg cycle, since Eggs are processed in order and if one hatches, any remaining Eggs are not touched.

Generation II is like Generations III and IV except that an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero.

The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines the text that is shown on its status screen.

===Generation II===
[[File:Gold Silver Beta Egg.png|thumb|A [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|pre-release image]] of an Egg hatching in Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Egg.png|frame|left]]
Generation II introduced the system of Egg creation and hatching that would continue, much unaltered, to the present. The first Pokémon Egg obtainable by the {{player}} in the series was a [[Key Item]] given by [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The [[Mystery Egg]] is to be delivered to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]]; he will then study it and have one of his aides return it to the player in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Elm's studies show that when a Pokémon Egg is carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[party]] of lively Pokémon, it will eventually hatch. This is easily proven, as some time after the Egg is given, if it is kept in the party, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}.

The player reaching the Daycare on {{rt|34|Johto}} marks where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Pokédex 3D]]), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen [[Egg Group]]s, and those which share an Egg Group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, as can any other Pokémon not in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}}. Pokémon in the Undiscovered Group will not breed with any Pokémon or produce any Eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from an Egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any move both parents know that the hatched Pokémon can learn through level-up, any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any [[Egg Move]]s their father passed down. The father's moves take priority over the moves the species would usually have at that level.

These are the only games in which an Egg's status screen differs considerably from that of a normal Pokémon, as all later games use either a modified version of the Pokémon status screen of that game (as is the case in Generation III), or the same status screen, minus some pages (as is the case in Generation IV, V, and VII).

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation II:
* {{p|Togepi}}{{sup/2|GSC}}: From [[Mr. Pokémon]], initially classed as a [[Key Item]]. Received from [[Professor Elm]]'s aide in [[Violet City]].
* [[Odd Egg]]{{sup/2|C}}: From the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]]. Will hatch into a {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, or {{p|Magby}} that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. It has a 14% chance of being {{Shiny}} in international versions. In the Japanese version of Crystal, the Day-Care Man instead gives out an [[Egg Ticket]] that can be traded in at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] for the Odd Egg. The Odd Egg in the Japanese version has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}.

===Generation III===
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change: [[incense]]s are introduced that, if held by the appropriate Pokémon, will cause them to produce Eggs that hatch into new baby Pokémon (who were introduced in this generation). There are incenses for {{p|Marill}}'s and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary lines, which allow them to produce Eggs that hatch into {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} respectively. Presumably, these incenses are meant to keep the results of breeding consistent across generations while still allowing earlier evolutions to be introduced.

All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching Eggs, except that Eggs require an extra Egg cycle to hatch. Egg Groups now have more members, but the groups themselves number the same as in Generation II, and no Pokémon have changed groups.

In {{game|Emerald}}, several more mechanics were added. A Pokémon's [[nature]] could be influenced if its mother held an [[Everstone]] while in the Day Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} shorten the hatching process if they are in the party with Eggs.

In Generation III, a Pokémon Egg's type is listed as {{t|???}}.

No Eggs can be obtained or traded to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{XD}}.

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation III:
* {{p|Wynaut}}{{sup/3|RSE}}: From an old couple in [[Lavaridge Town]].
* {{p|Togepi}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}: From an old man in the [[Water Labyrinth]].
* {{p|Swablu}}: From the start of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].
* {{p|Zigzagoon}}: From Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire after depositing at least 100 Pokémon.
* {{p|Skitty}}: From Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire after depositing at least 500 Pokémon.
* {{p|Pichu}}: From Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire after depositing 1499 Pokémon.
All Eggs obtained from Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire have moves that are otherwise unobtainable.

===Generation IV===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy Egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that either parent can now pass down its nature to its offspring if it holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon Eggs now hatch at level 1. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.

A minor change in mechanics from Generation III causes Eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the length of an Egg cycle dropping from 256 to 255 steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games has its own sprite that is different from other, normal Eggs' sprites.

Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an Egg has been produced, unlike in previous generations, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day Care if they wished to get an Egg as soon as it was ready.

Eggs may also be transferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When the ranch reaches the maximum level (level 25, requiring 999 Pokémon to be present in the ranch), [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon Egg for her Mew.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Eggs can be given a spa treatment at the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] building. This will cause the Egg to have an increased [[friendship]] upon hatching. However, Eggs cannot be given massages; if attempted, the [[Massage Girl]] will exclaim, "That's silly! I'd break that Egg if I tried to massage it!"

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation IV:
* {{p|Happiny}}{{sup/4|DP}}: From a Traveling Man in [[Hearthome City]] (has the appearance of a {{tc|Hiker}}).
* {{p|Riolu}}{{sup/4|DPPt}}: From [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]].
* {{p|Togepi}}{{sup/4|Pt}}: From [[Cynthia]] in [[Eterna City]].
* {{p|Manaphy}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}: From {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.
* {{p|Togepi}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}: From [[Mr. Pokémon]]. Initially classed as a [[Key Item]], the [[Mystery Egg]]. Received from [[Professor Elm]]'s aide in [[Violet City]].
* {{p|Mareep}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}: From [[Primo]], after entering the correct secret phrase.
* {{p|Wooper}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}: From [[Primo]], after entering the correct secret phrase.
* {{p|Slugma}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}: From [[Primo]], after entering the correct secret phrase.

====Special dates====
In the [[Generation IV]] games, on certain days [[Egg cycle]]s are reduced from 255 steps to 230 steps

For example, on a reduced-cycle day, {{p|Magikarp}} will take 1380 steps to hatch instead of 1530 steps.

===Generation V===
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V makes it possible for female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their Hidden Ability to their offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. The Manaphy Egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation V)|in the coding of Black and White]], but was not used.

A significant change to the mechanics of [[Egg cycle]]s in Generation IV causes Eggs to hatch at earlier times; Eggs now hatch when their Egg cycle count drops from 1 to 0, rather than when it is 0 at the end of an Egg cycle, effectively reducing the number of Egg cycles that need to be walked by 1. The length of an Egg cycle was also increased from 255 to 257 steps, but this effect is overshadowed by the change in the hatching trigger.

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation V:
* {{p|Larvesta}}{{sup/5|BW}}: From a Treasure Hunter inside a building on {{rt|18|Unova}} (has the appearance of a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}).
* {{p|Happiny}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}: From a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} inside the eastern gate in [[Nacrene City]].

===Generation VI===
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VI builds upon the mechanics from Generation V by allowing mothers to pass on [[Egg Move]]s and [[Poké Ball]]s, removing the ability to pass on [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s from the father, and allowing any Pokémon to pass down Hidden Abilities when bred with Ditto. Another new mechanic is the ability for the parents to pass down five IVs if one of them holds a [[Destiny Knot]].

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation VI:
* {{p|Wynaut}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}: From an old hot-springs visitor in [[Lavaridge Town]].
* {{p|Togepi}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}: From an old hot-springs visitor in Lavaridge Town after defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.
These Eggs are obtained with an [[Egg cycle]] value of 70, higher than the same Egg would start with if it were obtained by breeding.

===Generation VII===

====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Egg can be obtained in Generation VII:
* {{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}: From a woman at the [[Pokémon Nursery]] in [[Paniola Ranch]].

===Side games===
[[File:Hey You Pikachu Togepi Egg.png|thumb|right|A Togepi Egg]]
====Hey You, Pikachu!====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a Togepi Egg can be found and hatched while completing the Pokémon Picnic missions. In Japan, this game was released before the launch of Generation II, making it the first Egg to appear in a game.

====Pokémon Snap====
The Eggs of the [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]] appeared in {{g|Snap}}. This was the first appearance of Pokémon Eggs outside of Japan. These Eggs could be hatched by player interaction.

* {{p|Articuno}}: This Egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] area. It is silver and has a crystalline form. It hatches with the aid of two dancing {{p|Jynx}}.
* {{p|Zapdos}}: This Egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] area. It is yellow with a jagged electric pattern on it. It hatches with the aid of a {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* {{p|Moltres}}: This Egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] area. It is white with a red flame design on it. It hatches when a [[Pester Ball]] or an apple knocks it into the lava.

====Pokémon Breeder mini====
[[File:Pokémon Breeder egg.png|thumb|120px|right|{{pkmn|Breeder mini}} Eggs]]
Three Eggs containing {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} are available for the player to choose between in {{g|Breeder mini}}. However, these Eggs have a generic appearance, rather than their individual designs present in other media.

====Pokémon Channel====
{{incomplete|section|images of the following Eggs: Azurill, Smoochum, Sentret, and Wynaut}}
In {{g|Channel}}, Pokémon Eggs appear on the ''Eggzamination: Hatch Up!'' channel, where the player can guess which Pokémon is within an Egg, and will win money if correct on hatching, which can take any time between 5 minutes to 24 hours. While some Pokémon hatch from plain white Eggs, a number of Eggs that have appeared in the anime are a main feature on the channel.

Pokémon that hatch from their anime Eggs include {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}.

Pokémon that hatch from plain white Eggs include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, and {{p|Zubat}}.

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire====
[[File:Pinball RS Egg.png|thumb|right|Pinball RS Eggs]]
Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]], hit {{p|Cyndaquil}} into the Egg stand three times to start heating the Egg. Hitting it once more will make the Egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the Egg stand again will lead to {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|Totodile}} replacing the Egg. While playing on the [[Sapphire Field]], send the ball through the Egg Stand to turn on one of the lights. This only works by sending the ball up the lower Egg Loop and not through Spoink launching the ball. Once all four lights are lit, the Egg will hatch the next time the ball is sent through the Egg stand. Afterwards, sending the ball through the Egg stand once more makes a new Egg appear and the process starts over. After an Egg has been hatched it must be caught by hitting it twice with the {{i|Poké Ball}} in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the {{player}} can earn Eggs as a reward for missions with a reward listed as ???. Only one Egg can be kept at a time, and will be sent to [[Treasure Town#Chansey's Day Care|Chansey's Day Care]]. The Egg will hatch after a random number of days, at which point, the hatched Pokémon will ask to join the player's team, be at level 1, and know [[Egg Move]]s.
{{spoilers}}
A [[Wonder Egg]] can be found at the end of the [[Surrounded Sea]], which will hatch into {{p|Manaphy}} the next morning.
{{Endspoilers}}

====Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version====
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess]] BW Version, a {{p|Victini}} Egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The Egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses. The Egg can still be moved even while unhatched, though only when it has been damaged at least once.

====Pokémon Picross====
In [[Pokémon Picross]], a Pokémon Egg appeared as a puzzle in [[Pokémon Picross Stages#Area 00|Area 00-03]].

====Pokémon GO====
:''For current and historic lists of Eggs in {{g|GO}}, see [[list of Eggs in Pokémon GO]].''

In {{g|GO}}, a Pokémon Egg can be hatched by placing them inside an [[Egg Incubator]] and travelling a required distance. A player can hold a maximum of nine Eggs at once and cannot discard unhatched Eggs. The player's travel is only counted towards hatching an Egg at low speeds (i.e. walking and running speeds). [[Adventure Sync]] allows the player's walked distance to be tracked even while the app is closed; without it, only walking while the app is open counts towards hatching Eggs.

There are four different distances which Eggs can require: 2&nbsp;km, 5&nbsp;km, 7&nbsp;km, and 10&nbsp;km. Starting October 25, 2016, Eggs are colored based on the total distance required to hatch them: 2&nbsp;km Eggs are white with green spots, 5&nbsp;km Eggs are colored white with yellow spots, 7&nbsp;km Eggs are yellow with pink spots, and 10&nbsp;km Eggs are white with purple spots. 7&nbsp;km Eggs were introduced on June 21, 2018, initially only being able to hatch into {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, but the pool has since been expanded to include [[baby Pokémon]] as well.

Eggs can be obtained in variety of ways.
* Spinning a [[PokéStop]] or {{OBP|Gym|GO}} has a chance of awarding the player a 2&nbsp;km, 5&nbsp;km, or 10&nbsp;km Egg.
* [[Gift]]s from {{OBP|Friends|GO}} have a chance of containing a 7&nbsp;km.
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards may include Eggs. The player can obtain a 5&nbsp;km Egg for walking 25&nbsp;km and a 10&nbsp;km Egg for walking 50&nbsp;km.

While it is not possible to know what will hatch from an Egg beforehand, an Egg's properties are determined at the time it is obtained (not when it is hatched). The hatched Pokémon's [[Power Up]] level will match the player's [[Trainer level]] at the time its Egg was obtained, capped at level 20. Its origin location will be the location at which the player obtained Egg; for Eggs obtained from Gifts, it will be the location at which the Friend obtained the Gift. Pokémon that are hatched from Eggs are guaranteed at least 10 {{IV}}s (out of the maximum 15) in each stat. Region-exclusive Pokémon can only be hatched from Eggs obtained in its respective region; only during the 2018 and 2019 Ultra Bonus events, region-exclusive Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) were obtainable worldwide from 7&nbsp;km Eggs. Although the possible pool of Pokémon obtainable from Eggs is occasionally updated, these changes do not affect Eggs that players already have on hand. 

Hatching Eggs is the only way to obtain baby Pokémon and the Alolan Forms of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Grimer}}. {{p|Shinx}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Absol}}, and {{p|Klink}} can only be obtained by hatching Eggs or from [[Raid Battle]]s. {{p|Nincada}}, which was previously exclusive to [[Field Research]], is currently exclusive to hatching Eggs.

<!--Originally, Egg distance corresponds to the number of [[Egg cycle]]s to hatch the Pokémon in the core series games. Pokémon which take 5 to 15 cycles require 2&nbsp;km in Pokémon GO, Pokémon which require 20 cycles (except [[starter Pokémon]] and Pokémon that have pre-evolutions in the core series) take 5&nbsp;km, and Pokémon which require 25 cycles or more take 10&nbsp;km (except Eevee). Starter Pokémon, and 20 cycle Pokémon that have pre-evolutions in the core series, take 2&nbsp;km to hatch rather than 5&nbsp;km. Additionally, while Eevee (which has 35 cycles in the core series) used to take 10&nbsp;km to hatch, it now only takes 5&nbsp;km.
-->
Upon hatching an Egg, a player will receive a random amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and [[Candy]] dependent on the Egg's distance. The number of Candy received directly corresponds to the amount of Stardust received.
* 2 to 7&nbsp;km: <code>Candy = floor(Stardust/75)</code>
* 10&nbsp;km: <code>Candy = floor(Stardust/100)</code>

==In the anime==
[[File:Breeding house Eggs.png|thumb|220px|Pokémon Eggs at a [[Pokémon Day Care|breeding house]] in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'']]
The anime was where Pokémon Eggs made their debut, with {{Ash}}'s find of an Egg in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The Egg was kept safe by {{an|Brock}}, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case.

Later Eggs have all been shown to be kept in a [[Egg case|case]], which includes a {{i|Poké Ball}} for the baby to be put into upon hatching. Aside from Togepi's Egg, which hatched like an Egg would in the real world, later Eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain, slightly in the same way as [[Evolution|evolving]]. By ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', hatching eggs would be depicted as glowing and the egg shell bursting open to reveal the young Pokémon, much like the games.

In the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their Eggs. More than that, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their Eggs—Manaphy had used {{m|Heart Swap}} on Team Rocket before it even hatched (it was also implied that it was the one who gave May the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', a fossilized {{p|Aerodactyl}} Egg is shown, and revealed to have been used in conjunction with an [[Old Amber]] to resurrect a living Aerodactyl.

===Pokémon hatched from Eggs===
; [[Misty's Togepi]]
: This Egg was white with blue and red triangular spots. It was found by {{Ash}} deep in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It was taken care of by {{an|Brock}} and, for a short period, by {{MTR}}. It hatched into a {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''. Since {{an|Misty}} was the first person it saw, the baby Pokémon thought she was its mother, and thus became hers.
; [[Ash's Phanpy]]
: This Egg was light blue with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} as a prize for winning the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]] in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Phanpy}} in ''[[EP230|Hatching a Plan!]]''.
; [[Ash's Larvitar|Larvitar (anime)]]
: This Egg was jade green with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''. It hatched into a {{p|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can!]]''.
; [[Brock's Mudkip]]
: This Egg was never seen. Mudkip was one of the many Eggs given to [[Old Man Swamp]] to raise to be [[starter Pokémon]] for beginning Trainers of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. It was eventually given to Brock due to Mudkip being too strong for a new Trainer.
; [[Misty's Azurill]]
: This Egg was never seen. It was the offspring of [[Tracey's Marill]], and then {{Tracey}} gave it to {{an|Misty}} as mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'', when Azurill itself first appeared.
[[File:Eevee hatches.png|right|thumb|[[May's Eevee]] hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'']]
; [[May's Eevee]]
: This Egg was brown with a cream-colored zigzag stripe around its middle. It was given to {{an|May}} by a day-care worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. She took care of it herself, and it hatched into an {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
; [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]]
: This Egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it. It was primary to the plot of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. During the movie, while everyone was trying to protect the Egg, the center began to glow. When {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air, it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}.
; [[Brock's Happiny]]
: This Egg was light pink with a white stripe around the center and a red top. It was won by {{an|Brock}} in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]] in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Happiny}} with the help of [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''.
; [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]
: {{an|Dawn}}'s Egg obtained in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' hatched into a baby Cyndaquil later in the episode. The Egg was mostly green, with a cream colored bottom and three red spots near the bottom.
; [[Iris's Axew]]
: This Egg was never seen. Axew was given to Iris prior to the start of the series a few days after he had hatched.
; [[Ash's Scraggy]]
: Ash's Egg obtained in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' hatched into a baby {{p|Scraggy}} in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]''. The Egg is similar to the ones seen in the games. However, it retains Scraggy's color scheme, being tan with brown spots.
; [[Ash's Noibat]]
: Ash's Noibat's Egg was found by his {{AP|Hawlucha}} in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', and hatched in the same episode. It is lavender with purple markings that resemble a Noibat's ears.
; [[Ash's Froakie]]
: Ash's Froakie hatched offscreen. It was shown in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. It is light blue with white markings that resemble a Froakie's hands.
; [[Ash's Rowlet]]
: Ash's Rowlet hatched offscreen. It was shown in a flashback in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''. Very little of the egg was seen.
; [[Snowy]]
: An {{rf|Alolan}} Vulpix Egg was given to {{an|Lillie}} and her classmates to raise in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]''. It hatched in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'' and Lillie caught it in the [[SM014|next episode]]. The Egg was white with a blue pattern that looked like flowers.
; [[Ash's Riolu]]
: Ash received this Egg from the [[Vermilion City]] [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]''. It hatched later in the same episode. This Egg resembled the 10 km Eggs from [[Pokémon GO]], with a color scheme of white with light blue spots.
<!--Please do not add Eggs that haven't hatched yet here. This is for hatched Pokémon only.-->

===Other Pokémon Eggs in the anime===
[[File:Mudkip hatching.png|200px|thumb|A {{p|Mudkip}} hatching from its Egg in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'']]
* ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Several "dummy" Eggs were used in the race. A large number of the Egg varieties seen, both real and dummy, are unique to this episode. Some of the designs seen are similar to {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Heracross}}, although Beedrill and Starmie usually cannot hatch from Eggs directly.
* ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These Eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
* ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|Vulpix}} which was about to hatch, which was two shades of red with a design of curls separating the top from the bottom, reflecting the design of Vulpix's tails. Many other Eggs appeared in the breeding house. Based on the design, some of the other Eggs were identified as {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Wooper}}. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
* ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|Psyduck}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Psyduck were blocking the road. These Eggs were yellow with patterns that looked like Psyduck's feet.
* ''[[SM001|In Alola to New Adventure!]]'': [[Samson Oak]] received this Vulpix Egg from his cousin, {{an|Professor Oak}}. In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Samson offered Ash and his classmates the opportunity to raise either this Egg or a [[Snowy|white one]]. When the latter was chosen, Samson chose to raise the remaining Egg himself. In ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it hatched into a Vulpix. Unlike the previous Vulpix Egg, this Vulpix Egg was orange in color.
* ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'': {{p|Pikipek}} Eggs were seen in this episode and were hatched alongside [[Ash's Rowlet]] by a {{p|Toucannon}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gold Pichu Egg Golden Boys.png|thumb|200px|A Pichu Egg in the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
* In ''[[PS013|Sigh for Psyduck]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]]'s deceased {{p|Doduo}} is shown hatching from an Egg in a photograph. Notably, this was before the concept of Pokémon Eggs was introduced, and the Egg seen in the photograph was more similar to a real-life bird egg.
* In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} received an Egg produced by [[Jasmine]]'s two {{p|Togetic}}, which eventually hatched into a {{p|Togepi}}, nicknamed [[Togebo]].
* In ''[[PS160|Playful Porygon2]]'', {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] produced an Egg, which later hatched into Gold's [[Pibu]].
* In ''[[PS380|Lucky Lucario II]]'', [[Riley]]'s {{p|Riolu}}'s Egg was put inside a cavern as a final task for {{adv|Diamond}} during his training on [[Iron Island]]. It hatched soon after being found.
* In ''[[PS441|Alternate Dimension Showdown XI]]'', Diamond was given a {{p|Manaphy}} Egg by {{adv|Looker}}, who had been entrusted with it during a mission in [[Fiore]]. The Egg later hatched into Manaphy at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Manaphy later produced an Egg that hatched into a {{p|Phione}}.
* In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Red's [[Snor]] and {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} were revealed to have produced an Egg.

==In the TCG==
* {{TCG ID|Challenge from the|_____'s Chansey|Darkness}}: Depicts a {{p|Chansey}} hatching from an Egg, as well as many other generic Eggs in the background.
* {{TCG ID|Neo Discovery|Fossil Egg|72}}: Used to hatch into any Pokémon that evolves from {{TCG ID|Fossil|Mysterious Fossil|62}}.
* {{TCG ID|Movie VS Pack|Manaphy's Egg|16}}: Used to hatch into [[Manaphy (TCG)#Sea's Manaphy|Sea's Manaphy]].

==Trivia==
* The color of a standard Pokémon Egg may be a reference to the standard {{smw|Yoshi Egg}}, as one of its early appearances was in ''{{smw|Yoshi (game)|Yoshi}}'', a game also developed by [[Game Freak]].
* The Eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only Eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
* Aside from {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}}, which is {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, no anime Pokémon that has been seen hatching from an Egg is a Pokémon that is unable to evolve.
* Even though Eggs are incapable of battling, they have [[base stats]] programmed into the game. Each stat is 10.
** Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Emerald}} and [[Generation IV]], Eggs can actually battle in-game.
* In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an Egg in another game was traded to either game. When done, the "Egg" that appears after the location where the Egg hatched in the summary will change to "met" when traded to Ruby or Sapphire. This bug was fixed in {{game|Emerald}}.
* Another issue with traded Eggs occurred in Generations III, IV, and V : When an Egg is generated, it is given the OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier of the game which created it. This can cause an Egg which is traded to hatch {{Shiny}} and then be normally colored, or hatch normally colored, and then be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene.
** This issue is also present if a Pokémon is traded between the main and remake games of the third and fourth generations: the game identifier is never changed, meaning that an Azurill Egg generated in Ruby, but then traded to FireRed and hatched will, though identifying itself as having FireRed's player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Ruby. When transferred via Pal Park to Generation IV, it will say that it is from Hoenn, rather than Kanto, as this is determined not by [[List of locations by index number (Generation III)|index number]] of the location hatched, but by game identifier. In Generation IV, this occurs between Sinnoh and Johto games when Pokémon are transferred forward to Generation V. It cannot occur between Kanto/Hoenn and Johto/Sinnoh games, however, as Pokémon Eggs cannot be transferred via Pal Park.
** This issue was resolved in [[Generation VI]], where an Egg uses its current owner's OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier while hatching.
* The DVs of the Pokémon hatched from the Odd Egg will always be either 0/2/10/10/10 if Shiny or all 0 if non-Shiny, regardless of language version. These are the lowest possible values in Generation II for any Shiny or non-Shiny Pokémon, respectively.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141231124858/http://upokecenter.dreamhosters.com/articles/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal/pokemon-crystal-odd-egg/ Odd Egg - The Ultimate Pokémon Center (archive)]</ref>
* The Odd Egg always hatches with 125 experience points. This matches the base [[experience]] for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Medium Fast experience group|Medium Fast}} experience group (which includes {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} in this instance), but exceeds the base experience for the {{cat|Pokémon in the Fast experience group|Fast}} experience group. This makes it possible for a {{p|Cleffa}} or {{p|Igglybuff}} hatched from the Odd Egg to start with more experience points than it would normally have.
