A '''Pokémon Egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon egg'') is an object from which all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are known to hatch. An Egg's shell will usually have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon developing inside, though in the games, this is not the case (likely to save space on the game media).

An Egg's shell will usually have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon developing inside, though in the games, this is not the case (likely to save space on the game media).


Pokémon Eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[Egg Group]] and opposite gender together and will contain, by default, the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and thus, it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. No alternate explanation for their creation is offered, however, and most assume that the details are not gone into to keep the games appropriate for all audiences. A {{tc|Monsieur}} in [[Coumarine City]] theorises that Eggs aren't actually eggs and are more like "cradles".

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are also found by hatching them from an Egg created by their evolved forms, either naturally or through use of a held [[incense]]. Unlike other species {{egg|Undiscovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. The majority of [[Legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and thus cannot produce Eggs of themselves. However, a notable exception is made with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}, which both produce Phione Eggs if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An Egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
Despite [[time]] being an introduced concept in Generation II, the amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is instead determined by the number of steps taken by the player when it is in the party.
The amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is determined by the number of [[Egg cycles]] (which are measured in steps) that the player walks when it is in the party (including movement on a [[Bicycle]] or while {{m|Surf}}ing). In-game [[time]] has no direct bearing on Egg hatching.


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 after every 256 steps (255 from [[Generation IV]] on), rather than increasing. When the count reaches zero, the Egg will hatch. The number of Egg cycles required for an Egg to hatch is determined by its species and is determined at creation. If multiple Eggs end their final Egg cycles on the same step, the first egg obtained will hatch, and each subsequent step will hatch another.
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.


The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines what is displayed on its status screen.
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 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.
 
Generation II is like Generations III and IV except that an Egg will hatch when its Egg cycle count reaches zero.
 
The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines the text that is shown on its status screen.

===Generation III===
===Generation III===
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change. If specific Pokémon are holding specific items, the baby Pokémon that hatch from their Eggs will be different, new baby Pokémon introduced in this generation. These special [[incense]]s are specific to {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary line, and when held by them, will cause the baby to be an {{p|Azurill}} or {{p|Wynaut}} instead. Presumably, this is to keep breeding consistent—as the items did not exist in earlier generations, they could never be held, always resulting in the evolved form hatching.
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change: [[incense]]s are introduced that, if held by the appropriate Pokémon, will cause them to produce Eggs that hatch into new baby Pokémon (who were introduced in this generation). There are incenses for {{p|Marill}}'s and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary lines, which allow them to produce Eggs that hatch into {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} respectively. Presumably, these incenses are meant to keep the results of breeding consistent across generations while still allowing earlier evolutions to be introduced.


All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching the Eggs. 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 through its mother holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} while in the Day-Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} would quicken the hatching process if in the party with Eggs.

{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy Egg in Ranch}}
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy Egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that both parents can now pass down its nature to its offspring if one of them holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon Eggs were altered to hatching at level 1, for better consistency with the games' early routes. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.

A change in mechanics from Generation III causes the Eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the Egg cycle number going down after 255, rather than 256, steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games came with its own [[party]] and status screen sprites.


Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an Egg has yet been produced, unlike in previous generations' games, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day-Care Center to make sure that they got an Egg as soon as it was ready.
A minor change in mechanics from Generation III causes Eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the length of an Egg cycle dropping from 256 to 255 steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games has its own sprite that is  different from other, normal Eggs' sprites.


Eggs may also be transferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When 999 Pokémon are present in the ranch, it will expand and jump to level 25, the maximum level. Once this level is reached, [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon Egg for her Mew.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Eggs can be given a spa treatment at the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] building. This will cause the Egg to have an increased [[friendship]] upon hatching. However, Eggs cannot be given massages; if attempted, the [[Massage Lady]] will exclaim, "That's silly! I'd break that Egg if I tried to massage it!"

Starting in Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver, if a parent holds a [[EV-enhancing item|Power Weight]], the HP [[Individual values|IVs]] of this parent will be passed down to the baby. If a parent holds a Power Bracer, the Attack IVs of this parent will be passed down to the baby and vice versa.

===Generation V===
===Generation V===
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V adds the possibility of female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their exclusive Ability to its offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. No new baby Pokémon were introduced this generation. The Manaphy Egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation V)|in the coding of Black and White]], but was not used.

===Generation VI===
Again expanding on mechanics from previous games, Generation VI builds upon the mechanics from Generation V by allowing mothers to pass on [[Egg move]]s and [[Poké Ball]]s, removing the ability to pass on [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s from the father, and allowing any Pokémon to pass down Hidden Abilities when bred with Ditto. Another new mechanic is the ability for the parents to pass down five IVs if one of them holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}.
====Eggs available====
Aside from Eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following Eggs can be obtained in Generation VI:
* {{p|Wynaut}}: From an old hot-springs visitor in [[Lavaridge Town]].{{sup/6|ORAS}}
* {{p|Togepi}}: From an old hot-springs visitor in Lavaridge Town after defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.{{sup/6|ORAS}}

* The color of a standard Pokemon Egg may be a reference to {{smw|Yoshi Egg|Yoshi Eggs}} from {{smw|Yoshi (game)|''Yoshi''}}, a puzzle game developed by [[Game Freak]].
* The Eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only Eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.

** 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.
