Pokemon Eggswere a new way for trainers to get Pokemon released back in Generation 2. Obtaining Eggs required leaving a male and female Pokemon of a compatible Egg Group at the Daycare. While Eggs exist inPokemon GO, they have several differences that set them apart from the mainline games.
ThePokemon GOEggs can be obtained in various ways such as spinning PokeStops, battling Team GO Rocket Leaders, and more. There are five different types of Eggs inGO. Eggs are classified by the km it takes to hatch them, such as 2km Eggs or 7km Eggs. You should familiarize yourself withwhich Eggs will hatch what Pokemon and how to go about obtaining them.
Updated on July 04, 2025 by Renri Seong:Obtaining and hatching Eggs inPokemon GOworks differently from mainlinePokemongames, such asScarlet & Violet. Whenever new Pokemon cross over intoGO, it’s guaranteed that at least one of them will be added to the existing Hatchable Pokemon. Events can potentially switch up Pokemon in the Egg Pool, so you should always keep an eye out for in-game announcements. Bear in mind that with each new event, the Egg Pool is likely to change - especially for 7km Eggs. The following guide has been updated to include new Hatchable Pokemon and their respective Egg Category.
Types of Pokemon Eggs
There are six different Eggs inPokemon GO:
ThePokemon GOEggs are classified by how many km it takes to hatch. 2km Eggs are the most common type of Eggs with 12km Eggs being the rarest. Each category of Eggs hatches different types of Pokemon. Unfortunately, if you’re looking to hatch a specific species, the Hatchable Pokemon are randomly generated.
you may only havea total of 12 Eggs. 2km, 5km, 7km, and 10km Eggs are stored together (9 slots), while 12km Eggs are placed in the Bonus Storage (3 slots). Here’s how to get each type:

How to Hatch Eggs
Hatching Experience and More
EachPokemon GOplayer will haveone Egg Incubatorthat has an unlimited number of uses. Other Egg Incubators such as the blue ones will have to be bought from the in-game Shop using PokeCoins.Blue Egg Incubatorscan be usedthree timesbefore they break. ASuper Incubatorwill lessen the amount of time an Egg needs to hatch. For example, a 12km Egg requires 8km instead of 12km to hatch. Like the regular Egg Incubator, the Super Incubator willbreak after three uses. An Egg Incubator costs 150 PokeCoins while the Super Incubator costs 200 PokeCoins. Sometimes, Egg Incubators may beincluded in the Limited Time Onlyboxes at the Shop.
The km when hatching an Egg will only count if you’re walking. Distance is not tracked/calculated if you are traveling by vehicle.
Hatching Eggs will also rewards you with Pokemon Candy of the species that’s hatched. They’ll also get XP and Stardust. Unlike XP,the amount of Candyand Stardust received will be randomly generated within a set range:
