Every Egg Type And The Pokemon That Hatch From Them

Pokemon Go is an incredible game where you get to bring your favorite animated animals to the real world! It brings a lot of mechanics from the core series, but also makes up plenty of things for itself to keep things fresh. Eggs are a mechanic straight from the video games, though!

Eggs in the game are items you keep in your Party until they hatch into baby Pokemon! The games can track the number of steps you take and hatch the Egg when you've gone far enough. It's the same basic idea in Pokemon Go, except you actually have to do the walking in real life! No need to worry; we'll tell you everything you need to know.

How To Get Eggs

The various types of Eggs can be acquired in different ways:

Egg	Acquisition Methods
2 Km Eggs	Spinning Photo Discs at Gyms and PokeStops
5 Km Eggs	Spinning Photo Discs at Gyms and PokeStops Adventure Sync reward if you walk at least 25 km in a week
7 Km Eggs	Opening Gifts from Friends
10 Km Eggs	Spinning Photo Discs at Gyms and PokeStops Adventure Sync reward if you walk at least 50 km in a week
12 Km Eggs (also sometimes called Strange Eggs)	Defeating Arlo, Cliff, or Sierra

How To Hatch Eggs With Incubators

Eggs are hatched by walking with their Egg while it is in an Incubator. You need to walk a certain number of kilometres in order for the Egg to hatch, and the Egg varieties are broken up by the walking requirement. Once the Egg is in an incubator, you can play Pokemon Go like normal and let it track your steps in the background.

There are three kinds of Incubators:

Incubator	How To Get It	Number Of Uses	Special Abilities
Incubator (Orange)	You get this Incubator upon creating a Pokemon Go account.	Unlimited	None
Incubator (Blue)	Leveling up Purchased from the in-game store Received during certain Special Research quests	3	None
Super Incubator	Purchased from the in-game store Received during certain Special Research quests	3	You need to walk 33 percent less in order to hatch the Egg.

Certain events may temporarily decrease the distance you need to walk in order to hatch an Egg.

Additional Rewards For Hatching Pokemon

In addition to receiving a Pokemon, you'll also get XP, Stardust, and Candies:

Egg Type	Rewards
2 Km	500 XP 400-800 Stardust 5-15 Candies (for the Pokemon hatched)
5 Km	1000 XP 600-1600 Stardust 10-21 Candies (for the Pokemon hatched)
7 Km	1500 XP 800-1600 Stardust 10-21 Candies (for the Pokemon hatched)
10 Km	2000 XP 1600-3200 Stardust 16-32 Candies (for the Pokemon hatched)
12 Km	4000 XP 3200-6400 Stardust 16-32 Candies (for the Pokemon hatched)

Every Egg Type And The Pokemon That Hatch From Them

There are a few things you should keep in mind about hatching eggs:

The catchable Pokemon from any given Egg is determined when the Egg is received and does not change afterwards, even if the relevant event has ended, an event has started, you have moved, etc.
Ongoing events may alter which Pokemon can hatch from eggs. As we say above, that may cause you to hatch the event Pokemon even if the event has ended. After the event ends, the Pokemon catchable will revert to the list below.
Regional-Exclusive Pokemon can only hatch from the egg if their egg was received from their respective region. If you walk and hatch the Egg outside that region, you still might get the exclusive Pokemon.
