  • Tracking down Pokémon can be tough. Youre 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! Youll 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 youll 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 youre maxed out, PokéStops won’t give more until youve

  • 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 weve 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. Youll

  • also receive Stardust and that Pokémon’s Candy, and the higher the CP of the hatching

  • Pokémon, the more youll 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, theyre 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.

  • So 2 kilometer Eggs can hatch one of 14 Pokemon, which includes: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle,

  • Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Pikachu, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Geodude,

  • and Magikarp.

  • Next, 5 kilometer Eggs can hatch one of 43 Pokemon including: Ekans, Sandshrew, Nidoran

  • Female, Nidoran Male, Vulpix, Oddish, Paras, Venonat, Diglett, Meowth, Psyduck, Mankey,

  • Growlithe, Poliwag, Abra, Machop, Bellsprout, Tentacool, Ponyta, Slowpoke, Magnemite, Farfetch’d,

  • Doduo, Seel, Grimer, Shellder, Gastly, Drowzee, Krabby, Voltorb, Exeggcute, Cubone, Lickitung,

  • Koffing, Rhyhorn, Tangela, Kangaskhan, Horsea, Goldeen, Staryu, Mr. Mime, Tauros, and Porygon.

  • And finally, 10 kilometer Eggs can hatch one of 16 Pokémon that include Onix, Hitmonlee,

  • Hitmonchan, Chansey, Scyther, Jynx, Electabuzz, Magmar, Pinsir, Lapras, Eevee, Omanyte, Kabuto,

  • Aerodactyl, Snorlax, and Dratini.

  • We hope this eggcellent guide goes over easy and helps you quickly find new and different

  • Pokémon to fill out your Pokédex! If you have any Egg Hatching tips of your own, let

  • us know in the comments. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe to GameXplain for
