'''Egg Groups''' (Japanese: '''タマゴグループ''' ''Egg Group'') are categories which determine which {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are able to [[Pokémon breeding|interbreed]]. Similarly to the [[type]]s, a Pokémon may belong to either one or two Egg Groups. | '''Egg Groups''' (Japanese: '''タマゴグループ''' ''Egg Group'') are categories which determine which {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are able to [[Pokémon breeding|interbreed]].

Egg Groups are decided by biological traits, which overall serves to allow Pokémon which are biologically similar to breed.
