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. Pokémon Eggs have appeared in all core series 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 spin-off games.

In some animation and manga appearances, an Egg's shell will have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon inside.

In the core series games

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 Professor Elm, as quoted by a man in Hearthome City, and 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.

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.

From Generation V to VIII, 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 Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, each subsequent eggs will hatch back to back (due to the textbox with the "Oh?" message immediately apperaing when brought back in the overworld after hatching an egg) instead.

In Generations III, IV and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, 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.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, an Egg will not hatch when climbing, gliding or flying with Koraidon or Miraidon.

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

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 No Eggs Discovered Group. Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered 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, V, and VII).

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 from or traded to Pokémon Colosseum or XD.

Generation IV

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!"

Special dates

In the Generation IV games, Egg cycles are reduced from 255 steps to 230 steps on certain days. For example, on a reduced-cycle day, a 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 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.

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.

Generation VII

Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VI by allowing fathers to pass on Poké Balls when bred with Ditto and randomizing which Poké Ball is passed down when two Pokémon of the same species breed and they are in different balls.

Generation VIII

Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VIII builds upon the mechanics from Generation VII by allowing two Pokémon to pass Egg Moves to each other if one knows the move and the other has an open move slot for it.

Generation IX

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Eggs can be found during Picnics. Species that produced different baby Pokémon if holding an incense now produce these baby Pokémon naturally. Incenses do not appear in these games.

In some cases that the game may crash, Shiny Pokémon that are hatched from the Eggs can appear again, but only if the game was saved before the Egg is hatched and it is in the player's party.

Eggs received from in-game events

Main article: List of Pokémon Eggs from in-game events

In several core series games, the player is able to obtain Pokémon Eggs from certain non-player characters.

In the Generation I games, their Generation VII remakes, and in Legends: Arceus, there are no Pokémon Eggs due to the absence of the breeding mechanic. In Pokémon X, Y, Sword, and Shield, the breeding mechanic is available but no Eggs are received from in-game events.

Some Eggs can also be received in Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire and transferred to the Generation III games.

Pokémon Stadium 2

Egg

This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Add image of a Shiny Egg in comparison to non-Shiny Eggs in the Pokémon Lab from Pokémon Stadium 2

In Pokémon Stadium 2, "EGG" is considered a nickname of the Pokémon species inside. Due to Pokémon Stadium 2 hue shifting nicknamed Pokémon into different colors, Eggs get hue shifted as well. This can be seen when viewing Eggs in the Pokémon Lab. Shinies do not ever get hue shifted, and therefore, all Pokémon Eggs with a Shiny inside are the default tan color without any color change. This way, it is possible to tell if a Pokémon Egg is Shiny before it hatches.

In the spin-off games

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 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.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

A Wonder Egg can be found at the end of the Surrounded Sea, which will hatch into Manaphy the next morning.

Pokémon Battle Chess

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, though only when it has been damaged at least once.

Pokémon Battle Chess (Set)

In the Pokémon Battle Chess set, a Togepi Egg replaced Victini as the king piece. Both Togepi and Victini have the same rules as an Egg and when undamaged, though they have different movement and damage rules for when each has taken damaged after hatching.

Pokémon Picross

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

Pokémon GO

For current and historic lists of Eggs in Pokémon GO, see List of Eggs in Pokémon GO.

In Pokémon GO, a Pokémon Egg can be hatched by placing it 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. In addition, if these nine slots are filled, there are three bonus Egg slots that can only hold Strange Eggs and Eggs obtained from Adventure Sync rewards. 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 five different distances which Eggs can require: 2, 5, 7, 10, and 12 km. Starting October 25, 2016, Eggs are colored based on the total distance required to hatch them: 2 km Eggs are white with green spots, 5 km Eggs are white with orange spots, 7 km Eggs are yellow with pink spots, 10 km Eggs are white with purple spots, and 12 km Eggs (also known as Strange Eggs) are white with red spots. 7 km Eggs were introduced on June 21, 2018, initially only being able to hatch into Alolan forms, but the pool has since been expanded to include baby Pokémon as well. Strange Eggs were introduced on October 12, 2020.

In December 2020, three bonus storage spaces were added. If the player already has nine Eggs, Eggs can still be received from weekly Adventure Sync rewards or from Team GO Rocket Leader battles and placed into one of these slots.

Eggs can be obtained in a variety of ways. Each of the listed methods has its own separate pool of obtainable Pokémon Eggs.

Spinning a PokéStop or Gym has a chance of awarding the player a 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Egg.
Gifts from Friends have a chance of containing a 7 km.
Weekly Adventure Sync rewards may include Eggs. The player can obtain a 5 km Egg for walking 25 km and a 10 km Egg for walking 50 km.
Winning a battle against a Team GO Rocket Leader will award a Strange Egg (12 km Egg).

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 IVs (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. Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros) were obtainable worldwide from 7 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 Salandit, Varoom, Charcadet and Larvesta.

Upon hatching an Egg, a player will receive a random amount of Stardust and Candy dependent on the Egg's distance. The number of Candy received directly corresponds to the amount of Stardust received.

2 to 7 km: $Candy=\left\lfloor {stardust \over 75}\right\rfloor$
10 km: $Candy=\left\lfloor {stardust \over 100}\right\rfloor$
12 km: $Candy=\left\lfloor {stardust \over 200}\right\rfloor$

Distance	Stardust	Candy
2 km	400 - 800	5 - 10
5 km	800 - 1600	10 - 21
7 km	800 - 1600	10 - 21

Pokémon the Series

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

Pokémon Eggs created by devolution in The Gates of Warp!

Pokémon the Series 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 been shown to be kept in a case, which includes a Poké Ball for the baby to be put into upon hatching.

In earlier series, Eggs are depicted with unique patterns that match the Pokémon contained within. This was changed in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, with Eggs instead being closer to the generic Egg design from the games; however, the spots on Eggs do vary in color based on the Pokémon, rather than only being green like in the games.

Aside from Togepi's Egg, which hatched similarly to a real egg, later Eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain, similarly to evolution. By Pokémon the Series: Black & White, hatching Eggs would be depicted as glowing and the eggshell bursting open to reveal the young Pokémon, much like in the games.

In Address Unown, it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their Eggs. Additionally, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their Eggs, with Manaphy using Heart Swap on the Team Rocket trio before it even hatched (it is 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.

In The Gates of Warp! and Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, Dialga and Palkia's battling, due to them both being instigated by Alternate World Team Rocket, had caused many Pokémon to devolve and turn back into Eggs. Once the crisis was resolved, Dialga and Palkia repaired the distortions and freed the Pokémon from their Egg forms, reversing the devolutions.

Other Pokémon Eggs

A Mudkip hatching from its Egg in A Mudkip Mission

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 Beedrill, Farfetch'd, Drowzee, Starmie, and Heracross, although Beedrill and Starmie usually cannot hatch from Eggs directly.
A Mudkip Mission: This episode showed a home where baby Mudkip were bred and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These Eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
May's Egg-Cellent Adventure: An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a 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 Aipom, Bellsprout, Chinchou, Cleffa, Elekid, Igglybuff, Ledyba, Magby, Pichu, Sandshrew, Sentret, Smoochum, Spinarak, Swinub, Teddiursa, and Wooper. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea: A Manaphy Egg was primary to the plot of this movie. 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. This Egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it.
The Psyduck Stops Here!: 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.
In Alola to New Adventure!: Samson Oak received this Vulpix Egg from his cousin, Professor Oak. In Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!, Samson offered Ash and his classmates the opportunity to raise either this Egg or a white one. When the latter was chosen, Samson chose to raise the remaining Egg himself. In Getting to Know You!, it hatched into a Vulpix. Unlike the previous Vulpix Egg, this Vulpix Egg was orange in color.
First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!: Pikipek Eggs were seen in this episode and were hatched alongside Ash's Rowlet by a Toucannon.
Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle: Celebi is rumored to visit the jungle in times of peace and leave behind an egg from the future in its wake.

Eggs seen in these series feature a more standardized design, closely resembling the generic Egg designs from the core series games, albeit with the color of the spots depending on the Pokémon inside.

Trial on a Golden Scale!: Larvesta Eggs were seen in this episode, being the target of a Pokémon poacher. They had red spots.
The Gates of Warp!: Due to the influence of Dialga and Palkia, Alternate World Dawn's Piplup reverted back into an Egg with dark blue spots. Multiple other reverted Eggs also appeared in the episode.
Showdown at the Gates of Warp!: Due to the influence of Dialga and Palkia, Alternate World Ash's Infernape reverted back into an Egg with orange spots. Several other Egg spot colors were also seen with reverted Pokémon such as Alternate World Chloe's Eevee–brown, Alternate World Team Rocket's Croagunk, Glameow, Rhyhorn, and Stunky, and a Trainer's Buizel and Shieldon–orange and yellow spots, respectively. Alternate World Ash's Pichu and Alternate World Goh's Trapinch, Aerodactyl, Scorbunny reverted into Eggs very similar to their counterparts from the main world.
Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!: Sandile Eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Sandile, Krokorok, and Krookodile were disturbing the group of Archeologists.

A Pichu Egg in Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

Pokémon Adventures

Red, Green & Blue arc

In Sigh for Psyduck, Mr. Fuji's deceased 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.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Teddiursa's Picnic, Gold received an Egg produced by Jasmine's two Togetic, which eventually hatched into a Togepi, nicknamed Togebo.

In Playful Porygon2, Pika and Chuchu, Red and Yellow's respective Pikachu, produced an Egg, which later hatched into Gold's Pichu, Pibu. It initially appeared as a plain Egg without a pattern, with the Pichu pattern only appearing on it shortly before it hatched.

In a flashback shown in The Last Battle XIV, Pryce's Lapras, La Glace, was shown hatching from an Egg.

Diamond & Pearl arc

In Hurrah for Rapidash, Roark's Cranidos is seen as an egg in a flashback.

In Lucky Lucario II, Riley's Riolu's Egg was put inside a cavern as a final task for Diamond during his training on Iron Island. It hatched soon after being found.

Platinum arc

In Alternate Dimension Showdown XI, Diamond was given a Manaphy Egg by 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 Phione.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

In All About Arceus IX, Red's Snorlax, Snor, and Emerald's Snorlax were revealed to have produced an Egg.

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.
Manaphy, which is Mythical, is the only Pokémon which has been seen hatching from an Egg in the animated series 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 a glitch in Pokémon Emerald and Generation IV, Eggs can actually battle in-game.
In Ruby and 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 Pokémon Emerald.
- Also 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 Hoenn, but then traded to Kanto and hatched will, though identifying itself as having the Kanto player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Hoenn. 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.
- Both issues were 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.
- This, in turn, means hatching a Cleffa or Igglybuff from the Odd Egg is the only way to newly obtain a Pokémon that already has experience point progress towards its next level.
Prior to Generation IV, due to the fact that Pokémon hatched from Eggs at level 5, several wild Pokémon found in early routes had lower levels than newly-hatched Pokémon.
