In [[Pokémon HOME]], corrupted Pokémon can appear as Bad Eggs. They can't be imported to a game or released so they permanently take a space in a box. Obtaining a Bad Egg in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and then attempting to launch [[Pokémon HOME]] with the Bad Egg in any [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] slot results in a crash.
In [[Pokémon HOME]], Pokémon that are corrupted, altered with third party tools, or flagged by HOME's cheat detection can appear as Bad Eggs. They can't be imported into any HOME-compatible game, nor released, permanently taking up a box slot in the HOME account's storage. Obtaining a Bad Egg in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and then attempting to launch [[Pokémon HOME]] with the Bad Egg in any [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] slot results in HOME crashing.

Prior to {{DL|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Version history|v1.2.1}}, it was possible for players with a ROM hack of Sword or Shield to distribute Bad Eggs to other players online (even to players playing unedited copies of the game online). This was done by hosting the edited Max Raid Battle through the [[Y-Comm]], allowing up to 3 additional players to join it and capture the Bad Egg upon its defeat. Bad Eggs obtained via this method can be used for a [[Cloning glitches|cloning glitch]] involving the [[Pokémon Nursery]]: the "offspring" of a Bad Egg can be swapped with a [[party]] Pokemon, depositing the original into an empty [[Pokémon Storage System|box]] slot, while an identical duplicate appears in the party slot that the Bad Egg's offspring was swapped into.

====Illegal moves, species, and forms in Legends: Arceus====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, altering a Pokémon with third party tools to become a regional or alternate form that isn't coded into the game, a species that isn't coded into the game, or to include moves that are not in its moveset, will result in the Pokémon becoming an unhatchable Egg. This appears to be intentional feature, essentially acting as a built-in anti-cheat.
(Despite the lack of a Daycare or Nursery, Legends: Arceus does have a sprite for an Egg, which seems to be used exclusively for error handling when a valid sprite fails to load properly, or there is no valid sprite for that form or species.)
