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.

Since Generation V, 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.
Since Generation V, 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 [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], each subsequent eggs will hatch with each subsequent egg cycle completion instead.


In Generations III and IV, 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.

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 {{game|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 {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} shorten the hatching process if they are in the party with Eggs.

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 moveslot for it.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Eggs can be found during [[Picnic]]s. Species that produced different baby Pokémon if holding an incense now produce these baby Pokémon naturally. No longer necessary, incenses have been removed from the game.

In several [[core series]] games,the player is able to obtain Pokémon Eggs from certain [[non-player character]]s.
In the [[Generation I]] games, their [[Generation VII]] remakes, and in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, there are no Pokémon Eggs due to the absence of the {{pkmn|breeding}} mechanic. In [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]], 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.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], "EGG" is considered a [[Nickname|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.

Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]], hit {{p|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 {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|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 {{i|Poké Ball}} in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

In [[Pokémon Battle Chess]] BW Version, a {{p|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.

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.

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&nbsp;km Eggs are white with green spots, 5&nbsp;km Eggs are white with orange spots, 7&nbsp;km Eggs are yellow with pink spots, 10&nbsp;km Eggs are white with purple spots, and 12&nbsp;km Eggs (also known as Strange Eggs) are white with red spots. 7&nbsp;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.

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.

<!--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.

* Another issue with traded Eggs occurred 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 Ruby, but then traded to FireRed and hatched will, though identifying itself as having FireRed's player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Ruby. 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 [[List of locations by index number (Generation III)|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.
