(Tangentially, I'm also wondering if the chance to gain [[friendship]] is also on a 257-step cycle, since Egg cycles are supposed to be stored in the friendship variable and use its counter.)

I've done some egg cycle testing lately (because what else can you do while breeding lol), and I've noticed some discrepencies too. I'll have to do some more testing to actually make this claim, but I believe the egg cycles listed listed here on Bulbapedia are a little off. If I'm not mistaken, the agg cycles are multiples of five rather than multiples of 5 plus one (eg. 15 cycles rather than 16). Also, [[a|Flame Body]] and [[a|Magma Armor]] seem to decrease the steps to hatch rather than the cycles as an integer (there's no rounding for 1.5 cycles, it's just that many steps. Once more, I can't back any of this up yet, I just posted this so that someone could test this on their own if they wanted to.

::As I understand it, Flame Body/Magma Armor make an Egg's Egg cycle count decrease by 2 instead of 1. So it's not "exactly" half, it ends up as half rounded up. I did one test with Magma Armor before and it seems to work like that (or consistent with that). Without Magma Armor, I could hatch the Egg in 1,162 steps (4*257 + 134, or 5 Egg cycles); with Magma Armor, I could hatch the same Egg in 648 steps (2*257 + 134, or 3 Egg cycles). I didn't even think to double-check the length of the Egg cycle with Magma Armor at that point, but half doesn't seem to even work for those numbers (128*5 = 640 (or 129*5 = 645), so if it were that, the Egg should've hatched somewhat earlier). The Hatching Powers, though...those definitely affect the length of an Egg cycle. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC) | |||
