Other Pokémon like this include {{p|Wobbuffet}} in [[Generation III]] and beyond, and {{p|Roselia}}/{{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mantine}} in [[Generation IV]] and beyond. Each requires a different attached incense to breed the baby form.

==Hatching Eggs==
==Hatching eggs==
The time it takes for egg-hatching depends on the species. Magikarp is the fastest hatching Pokémon. Some fairies (Cleffa, Pichu, Igglybuff) hatch quickly. Most Pokémon take some time to hatch. Powerful Pokémon, like Dratini, Bagon, Beldum, Larvitar, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Chansey, Eeevee, among others, take a long time to hatch.

Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch.  


"Time" is actually determined in steps. For example, a Gligar takes 6364 steps to hatch. Therefore, riding a bike would considerably halve the egg-hatching time. Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald lets you use the Mach bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen gives the player a hard time for breeding, though, as for there is no "mach bike" available. This was compensated with new egg moves for certain species of Pokémon. However, in Pokémon Emerald, if any Pokémon with Flame Body is in the party, it reduces the hatching time to half: A Gligar Egg would take only 3282 steps if a Slugma is in the party. This feature became standard in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
