Eggs of Togepi and Elekid
A 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 Pokémon 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 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 Cares 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 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 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—Manaphy and Phione—are capable of breeding, both producing Phione Eggs when bred with 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

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 Surfing). 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

A pre-release image of an Egg hatching in Pokémon Gold and Silver
Stadium 2 Egg.png

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 Pokémon Gold, Silver, and 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 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 Togepi.

The player reaching the Daycare on Route 34 marks where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokédex 3D), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen Egg Groups, and those which share an Egg Group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a Ditto, as can any other Pokémon not in the Undiscovered Group. 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 Moves 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 and V).

Eggs available

Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation II:

Generation III

Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change: incenses 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 Marill's and Wobbuffet's evolutionary lines, which allow them to produce Eggs that hatch into Azurill and 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 Pokémon 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 Magma Armor or 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 ???.

No Eggs can be obtained or traded to Pokémon Colosseum or XD.

Reason: Missing eggs from Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire

Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation III:

Generation IV

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: 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 "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 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:

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 in the coding of Black and White, but was not used.

A significant change to the mechanics of Egg cycles 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:

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 Moves and Poké Balls, removing the ability to pass on TMs and HMs 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:

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:

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire

Pinball RS Eggs

Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire. While playing on the Ruby Field, hit 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 Aerodactyl or 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 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, Darkness and 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 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 Moves.

Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version

In Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version, a 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.

Pokémon Picross

In Pokémon Picross, a Pokémon Egg appeared as a puzzle in Area 00-03.

Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, the player can obtain Eggs at PokéStops. Eggs come with three different possible hatching distances: 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km. There is no way to know what will hatch from an Egg beforehand. Each species has a set Egg distance and can only hatch from Eggs with this distance. When they were obtainable from Eggs, region-exclusive Pokémon (Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros) could only be hatched from Eggs found in their respective regions.

From October 25, 2016 onward, Eggs are color-coded (including previously obtained Eggs). 2 km Eggs are colored green, 5 km Eggs are colored yellow, while 10 km Eggs are colored purple.

To hatch an Egg, the player must place it in an incubator and travel the required distance with it. In Pokémon GO, there are two types of incubators: an unlimited-use Egg Incubator ∞, which is a default part of the player's inventory, and basic Egg Incubators, limited to three uses, which can be acquired when leveling up or purchased for PokéCoins at the Shop. The player's travel is only counted towards hatching an Egg at low speeds (i.e. walking and running speeds), and only when the app is open.

Pokémon that are hatched from Eggs have a high chance of having high IVs.

In the anime

Pokémon Eggs at a breeding house in May's Egg-Cellent Adventure

The anime was where Pokémon Eggs made their debut, with Ash's find of an Egg in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The Egg was kept safe by Brock, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case.

Later Eggs have all been shown to be kept in a case, which includes a 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 evolving.

In the episode 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 Heart Swap on Team Rocket before it even hatched (it was also implied that it was the one who gave May the dream involving the Sea Temple).

In Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!, a fossilized 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 Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. It was taken care of by Brock and, for a short period, by Meowth. It hatched into a Togepi in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?. Since 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 a race in Extreme Pokémon!. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a Phanpy in Hatching a Plan!.
Ash's Larvitar
This Egg was jade green with no designs. It was given to Ash in Lapras of Luxury. It hatched into a Larvitar in 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 Misty as mentioned in The Scheme Team!, when Azurill itself first appeared.
May's Eevee hatching from its Egg in 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 May by a day-care worker in May's Egg-Cellent Adventure. She took care of it herself, and it hatched into an Eevee in Time-Warp Heals All Wounds.
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 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 May caught it after being tossed into the air, it began to hatch into a Manaphy.
Brock's Happiny
This Egg was light pink with a white stripe around the center and a red top. It was won by Brock in the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest in All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a Happiny with the help of Nurse Joy in One Big Happiny Family!.
Dawn's Cyndaquil
Dawn's Egg obtained in 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 Here Comes the Trubbish Squad! hatched into a baby Scraggy in 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 Hawlucha in 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 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 First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!. Very little of the egg was seen.
Shiron
An Alolan Vulpix Egg was given to Lillie and her classmates to raise. It hatched in SM013 and Lillie caught it in the next episode. The Egg was white with a blue pattern that looked like flowers.

Trivia

  • The color of a standard Pokémon Egg may be a reference to the standard Yoshi Egg, as one of its early appearances was in Yoshi, a game also developed by Game Freak.
  • The Eggs of Elekid and Magby are the only Eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's evolved form, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
  • Aside from Manaphy, which is 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.
  • In Ruby and Sapphire, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an Egg in another game was traded to either game. When so is 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 Pokémon 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 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.[1]
  • The Odd Egg always hatches with 125 experience points. This matches the base experience for the Medium Fast experience group (which includes Pichu, Tyrogue, Smoochum, Elekid and Magby in this instance), but exceeds the base experience for the Fast experience group. This makes it possible for a Cleffa or Igglybuff hatched from the Odd Egg to start with more experience points than it would normally have.
