Q&A for How to Hatch Pokémon Eggs

It depends. Generally, you will hatch the Pokémon's base form. However, for Pokémon with a baby pre-evolution (e.g., Munchlax, Budew, Azurill), if the parent Pokémon does not hold the specific item required to hatch the baby, you will hatch the next stage up, which is considered an "evolved" form in that context. For most other Pokémon, you will always hatch their initial, unevolved stage.

All Pokémon eggs that are not affected by a glitch will eventually hatch. You just need to keep cycling (or walking) until the required distance is covered.

You cannot accumulate steps for hatching eggs while riding Latios or Latias. Doing so will actually pause the egg cycle.

For breeding in games like Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (ORAS), you'll typically use a Ditto alongside the specific Pokémon you want to breed (for example, a Castform). Take both Pokémon to a Pokémon Day Care and deposit them. In ORAS, using the Eon Flute can help you quickly travel to the Day Care.

No, you cannot determine which Pokémon is inside an egg before it hatches; its identity is revealed only after it hatches.

Yes, they will produce an Eevee egg. Ditto can breed with most Pokémon, and the offspring will always be the lowest evolutionary stage of the non-Ditto parent.

Check the comments to assure it is a legitimate method, and if it is, you can try it yourself if you'd like.

To hatch Pokémon eggs, you must accumulate a certain number of steps. In Generation 5, an effective strategy is to continuously bike in open areas, and Mistralton City's central area is a popular and efficient location for this.

Using a virtual joystick or spoofing to gain distance for egg hatching is not recommended. While it may sometimes register distance, this method violates the game's terms of service and can result in your account being banned.

On Akala Island, you can find a Pokémon Day Care at Paniola Ranch. Deposit two Pokémon of different genders there, then speak to the attendant outside the center to receive any eggs produced.
