'''Egg cycles''' are a number that determines how long it will take for a [[Pokémon Egg]] to hatch. The value of the amount of Egg cycles remaining until the Egg hatches is stored in the same number that the [[friendship]] value is for normal [[Pokémon]]. However, rather than counting up after 255 steps have been taken, it counts ''down'' toward hatching on reaching 0.

Whenever the player receives or hatches an Egg, the current Egg cycle of all other Eggs in the player's [[party]] are decreased by one.  
Prior to [[Generation VI]], whenever the player recieved or hatched an Egg, the current Egg cycle of all other Eggs in the player's [[party]] were decreased by one. In Generation VI however, this feature was removed; recieving and hatching eggs no longer has an effect on any other eggs in the player's party.


Individual Pokémon species have a value for the amount of cycles an Egg of theirs will take to hatch when received by default. This number has a maximum value of 255, though no species has been given a hatching time that long.

Please note that not all of these species can be legitimately hatched from an Egg, and that all steps are the minimum numbers as of [[Generation VI]].
