An '''Egg cycle''' is a unit of time measured in steps that determines how long it will take for a [[Pokémon Egg]] to hatch. The number of Egg cycles required to hatch an Egg is stored in the same number that would be the [[friendship]] value for normal Pokémon. In all games since [[Generation V]], the length of an Egg cycle is 257 steps. Prior to Generation V, Egg cycles were 255 steps long. | An '''Egg cycle''' is a unit of time measured in steps that determines how long it will take for a [[Pokémon Egg]] to hatch. The number of Egg cycles required to hatch an Egg is stored in the same number that would be the [[friendship]] value for normal Pokémon; however, rather than counting up after a cycle, it counts ''down'' toward hatching on reaching 0.
