Line 311: Line 311:
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, including Event Pokémon hatched after the event when it was obtained has ended.

Hatching Eggs is the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon, along with {{p|Pawniard}}, {{p|Vullaby}}, {{p|Sandile}}, the [[Alola|Alolan]] [[Regional form|Forms]] of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Grimer}}, and the [[Galar|Galarian]] Forms of Meowth and {{p|Darumaka}}. {{p|Shinx}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Timburr}}, and {{p|Klink}} can only be obtained by hatching Eggs or from {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}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.
