In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], "EGG" is considered a [[ | 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 (Stadium)|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 {{g|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. | In {{g|GO}}, a Pokémon Egg can be hatched by placing it inside an [[Egg Incubator]] and travelling a required distance.

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 {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, but the pool has since been expanded to include [[baby Pokémon]] as well. Strange Eggs were introduced on October 12, 2020. | There are five different distances which Eggs can require: 2, 5, 7, 10, and 12 km.

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. | In December 2020, three bonus storage spaces were added.

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 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. | 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).
