Tracking down Pokémon can be tough. You’re at the mercy of your location and sometimes
-
your favorites just won’t appear near you. But did you know that one of the best ways
-
to potentially catch rare and hard to find Pokémon without travelling far is by hatching
-
Eggs? Of course, you need to actually get an Egg first! You’ll find them randomly
-
at PokéStops, and they come in three varieties: 2 kilometers, 5 kilometers, and 10 kilometers,
-
or about 1 mile, 3 miles, and 6 miles respectively for us Americans.
-
Those distances denote how far you have to walk for each of them to hatch, after putting
-
them in an Incubator. Now thankfully, you start the game with one Incubator already
-
which has infinite uses--but the catch is that each Incubator can only hold one Egg,
-
so you’ll need to pick up normal Incubators if you want to hatch more than one egg at
-
a time. You can either buy them in the Shop or earn them when Leveling Up. But Normal
-
Incubators can only be used three time before breaking.
-
Now there are a few rules when it comes to hatching Eggs. For one, the Pokemon Go app
-
has to be open to register the distance you travel. Secondly, you can only hold a maximum
-
of nine Eggs at a time. If you’re maxed out, PokéStops won’t give more until you’ve
-
made room. And finally, if you go too fast, the distance won’t be counted toward your
-
Incubated Eggs. But that doesn’t mean you can’t cheat a little. Now we’ve heard
-
conflicting reports about the exact speed limit, but it seems that as long as you stay
-
under roughly 25 km per hour, or 15 miles per hour, Pokémon Go will count the distance
-
traveled and hatch your eggs even faster. So cars, trains, or planes are probably out,
-
but running or biking should do the trick!
-
Besides new Pokémon, hatching Eggs provides other bonuses as well. Players earn 1000 XP
-
for simply hatching the Egg and an additional 500 XP if it’s a new Pokémon. You’ll
-
also receive Stardust and that Pokémon’s Candy, and the higher the CP of the hatching
-
Pokémon, the more you’ll get.
-
But you might be wondering which Pokémon you can hatch from Eggs? And as it turns out,
-
almost all of them! The only exceptions are Ditto, evolutions, and Kanto’s Legendary
-
Pokémon. So no Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo or Mew. So that’s a lot of Pokemon,
-
and as it turns out, they’re divided amongst the three Egg distance ranges, providing you
-
with at least some idea of what might hatch from each egg. And thanks to Serebii.net,
-
we have the full list.
