Un-hatchable Pokemon

Does this list have to include Pokemon that can't (legitimately) hatch from eggs, like evolved Pokemon or unbreedable Pokemon? If we want to keep the information on the page somehow, then I think we can delete those Pokemon from the main table and add an expandable table like we did with the unseen Hoenn Pokedex numbers. sumwun (talk) 23:15, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

It's been more than 6 months, so I just wanted to say you're still allowed to respond to this. sumwun (talk, contribs) 01:55, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Some Pokémon changed base egg cycles in gen 8

The page currently states that no Pokémon has ever had its base egg cycles change from one game to another, but this is false. The base egg cycles of several Pokémon changed between Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Sword/Shield -- some of those changes even appearing in the data of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, although not used in those games. The page must be corrected with the accurate data. Porygon137 (talk) 13:33, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Do you know which ones and how they changed? sumwun (talk, contribs) 15:55, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm not seeing any changes in the dumps. --Abcboy (talk) 17:06, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Caterpie line (15 --> 10), Weedle line (15 --> 10), Pikachu line (10 --> 20), Clefairy line (10 --> 20), Jigglypuff line (10 --> 20), Aerodactyl (35 --> 30), Spinda (15 --> 20), Corphish line (15 --> 20), Toxicroak (20 --> 10) (apparently Croagunk was already 10 so one is just a weird data fix I guess), Watchog (20 --> 15) (same story there with Patrat), Scolipede (20 --> 15) (and here too), Zoroark (20 --> 25) (and here), Meloetta (120 --> 20) (ok this one is weird). I didn't check alternate forms because those are always a hassle, what with having different indexes in every game. Data sources for this comparison: USUM data that I dumped myself from the hex, and SwSh data from here and here. If I'm just looking at the wrong data somehow and I'm completely wrong, I'm going to feel very silly. Porygon137 (talk) 20:29, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Disregard me I'm wrong about everything Porygon137 (talk) 20:38, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Move to List of Pokémon by Breeding attributes

Because with this article also showing Egg groups, it's not just about Egg cycles. CoolMan6001 (talk) 23:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

This is probably a good idea. If this happens, then I get to stop worrying about hiding the Pokemon that can't legitimately hatch from eggs. sumwun (talk, contribs) 12:47, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Seconded. (Thirded?) Pichugetic (talk) 06:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
+1'd. I think it's strange that List of Pokemon by Egg Groups redirects to a page about Egg cycles since Egg Groups a) have their own pages, and b) are needed to get Eggs in the first place, so they're definitely not less important. Breeding information properly describes the page's purpose of cataloguing both the relevant attributes for breeding. Dry Paratroopa 05:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
