+A '''Pokémon Egg''' is an object which every [[Pokémon]] hatches from.  An egg's shell usually has a pattern reflecting the appearance of the Pokémon inside.  Pokémon eggs are produced through [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]].
-A '''Pokémon Egg''' (Japanese: '''タマゴ''' ''egg'') is an object which every [[Pokémon]] hatches from.  An Egg's shell usually has a pattern reflecting the appearance of the Pokémon inside.  Pokémon Eggs are produced through [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]].  According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and so it is not actually confirmed that they lay the Eggs.  No alternate explanation for their creation is offered, however.
-Some Pokémon, called [[baby Pokémon]], can only be obtained in most games by hatching them from an Egg.  All [[legendary Pokémon]] except for {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} cannot breed in the [[Pokémon games]] and therefore their eggs are only seen in rare situations if at all; however, from [[Pokémon Snap]] and other situations, it is known that these Pokémon can somehow produce eggs and, subsequently, young offspring.  Eggs will always hatch into a base [[Evolution|evolutionary]] stage, or in cases such as {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} without the proper [[Held_items#Breeding_items|incense]], the stage immediately following a baby stage. In the games, every egg of every species of Pokémon use the same sprite design, with the only notable exception being Manaphy's egg. However, in the official artwork and anime, each egg's coloring depends on the species it will hatch into.

-In the games preceding and including [[Generation III]], Eggs hatch into [[level]] 5 Pokémon.  Starting in [[Generation IV]], perhaps to be more consistent with the fact that [[wild Pokémon]] are found at levels lower than 5, Eggs hatch into level 1 Pokémon.

-The first appearance of eggs in the Pokémon video games was in Pokémon Snap.  In this game, the eggs of the three [[legendary birds]] can be found and hatched.  All three eggs are very large, appearing to be about the same size as the [[ZERO-ONE]], which suggests the size of an Egg increases with the general size of the Pokémon species.

+[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] were the first games in which eggs and [[Pokémon breeding]] became a notable part of the system.  In this game, an egg can be produced by two Pokémon at a [[Pokémon Daycare]], which is then given to the player upon their next visit.  This egg is carried in the player's party until they take a certain number of steps and the egg hatches.  The number of steps required for an egg to hatch varies with the Pokémon species inside the egg.

-==In the anime==
-[[Image:PokemonEggsAnime.jpg|thumb|A [[breeding house]] in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], full of different Pokémon Eggs]]
-The first egg ever seen was {{p|Togepi}}'s, which briefly predated [[Pokémon Snap]] and therefore can be considered the first Pokémon egg ever seen in the main [[canon]]. This egg was kept safe and warm by [[Brock]]; in later episodes, eggs are carried in [[egg case|individual containers]] designed to protect and incubate. These containers also come with a Poké Ball to keep the Pokémon in once it hatches. People are also seen polishing the shells of eggs they take care of.
+=In the Anime=
-An egg that is going to hatch soon flashes until it hatches (with the exception of {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s egg). When it hatches, it glows bright white and seemingly transforms into the Pokémon that was inside of it. Because of the way they hatch in the anime, several fans say that eggs "evolve" into Pokémon, instead of actually hatching from them.
+==Pokémon raised from Eggs==
+; [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]]
-===Pokémon hatched from eggs===
+: This egg was white with blue and red triangular spots.  It was found by [[Ash]] deep in [[Grandpa Canyon]] in [[EP046]].  It was taken care of by [[Brock]] and, for a short period, by [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]].  It hatched into a {{p|Togepi}} in [[EP050]].  Since [[Misty]] was the first person it saw, the baby Pokémon thought she was its mother, and thus became hers.

+; [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]]
-; [[Misty's Togepi]]

+; [[Misty's Azurill]
-: 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 {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}.

-===Other Pokémon eggs in the anime===
-[[Image:Pokemon Eggs.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Some eggs in a cart]][[Image:Cleffa_Egg.PNG|right|thumb|A {{p|Cleffa}} Egg]][[Image:DP87.JPG|thumb|right|Three Psyduck with their Eggs]]
-*''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode.
-*''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred, and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face.  These eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
-*''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of eggs appeared in this episode.  Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|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 {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Drowzee}} and {{p|Sandshrew}}.  A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
-*''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|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 feet.
-==Trivia==
-*Apart from {{an|Dawn}}, [[Tracey]] and [[Max]], each main hero of the {{pkmn|anime}} has received a Pokémon egg.
-*No Pokémon that was hatched from an egg in the anime has evolved twice, either because their evolutionary line prohibits it ({{TP|Ash|Phanpy}} and {{TP|May|Eevee}}), their evolutionary line went no further than one evolution at the time of their release ({{TP|Misty|Togepi}}), or simply because, as of this point, the Pokémon who ''can'' go on to evolve twice have not even undergone one evolutionary event yet ({{TP|Ash|Larvitar}}, {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}).
-*Aside from {{an|Manaphy}}, which is [[legendary Pokémon|legendary]], no anime Pokémon that has been hatched from an egg is a Pokémon that is unable to evolve.
-*In the anime, each egg owned by a main character and shown onscreen has been stolen from the rightful owner prior to its hatching. The usual perpetrator is [[Team Rocket]], but there have been others.
-**Misty's Togepi egg was stolen by Team Rocket, though it wasn't hers at the time.
-**Ash's Phanpy egg was also stolen by Team Rocket.
-**Ash's Larvitar egg was stolen by [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers|three poachers]] prior to Ash obtaining it.
-**May's Eevee egg was first taken by accident by a disoriented {{p|Elekid}}. It was then found by Team Rocket and they planned to not return it to May. However, James willingly gives it to her in exchange for his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} which she had found.
-**Manaphy's egg was taken by [[The Phantom]], then stolen (rescued) by [[Jack Walker]]. Then Team Rocket takes it from him briefly before Phantom attempts to get it back.
-**Brock's Happiny egg was stolen by Team Rocket. However, this was before it was given to him personally.
-*In the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their Eggs.
-*Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their Eggs-- Manaphy had used {{m|Heart Swap}} on Team Rocket before it even hatched (it was also implied that it was the one who gave May the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).
-*Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]], eggs can actually battle in-game.
