I think that's covered adequately below (and idk if they should be conflated so much) ; I haven't checked, but I worry that multiplying by "67%" might give a wrong answer somewhere (tho honestly I'm also assuming 2/3 is correct)

-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. 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.

 Using a Hatching Power (from {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}} or [[O-Power]]s) will shorten the length of an Egg cycle depending on the strength of the Power used.
-* Weak: 80% (205 steps)
+* Weak: <sup>4</sup>/<sub>5</sub> (205 steps)
-* Medium: 67% (171 steps)
+* Medium: <sup>2</sup>/<sub>3</sub> (171 steps)
-* Strong: 50% (129 steps)
+* Strong: <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> (129 steps)
 The number of steps walked in the current Egg cycle is also modified by the appropriate multiplier above. When the Hatching Power wears off, the current number of steps walked in the current Egg cycle is divided by the same multiplier.
