* Except for Pokémon species in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group or with [[gender unknown]], all other known Pokémon species can be indirectly or directly related to each other via their shared Egg Groups, even if no breeding with {{p|Ditto}} is involved. | * Except for Pokémon species in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group or with [[gender unknown]], all other known Pokémon species can be indirectly or directly related to each other via their shared Egg Groups, even if no breeding with {{p|Ditto}} is involved. | ||

Likewise, Manaphy can be hatched from a special Egg transferred from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in the Generation IV games. | ||
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity has since been addressed from [[Generation IV]] onwards, where all hatched Pokémon start at level 1. | * When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5.

* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to producing an Egg. This was not changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the journal instead says "We obtained a new Pokémon from Mew." It is unclear as to whether this is meant literally or metaphorically. | * The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to producing an Egg.
