How To Make Eggs
You Can Make Eggs At A Picnic
In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet you can make combinations to make an Egg at a picnic, and once a certain time passes, you will be able to make an Egg. Wherever you can have a picnic, you are able to make Eggs. It is a lot easier than the past game titles.
Picnic GuideHow To Make Eggs
- Picnic with 2 Pokemon of different gender and same Egg Group
- Picnic with any 1 Pokemon and Ditto
- Picnic With 2 Pokemon Of Different Gender And Same Egg Group
- Picnic With Any 1 Pokemon And Ditto
| ♂ Original Trainer | ♀ Original Trainer |
|---|---|
| Gyarados Group: Water 2/Dragon | Garchomp Group: Monster/Dragon |
| Offspring | |
| Gible ♀Original Trainer's child is Offspring | |
Eggs are born when a picnic is held between a ♂Original Trainer and a ♀Original Trainer whose Egg Groups match. The Egg born at this time will be the child of the ♀ Original Trainer. If there are two Egg Groups, it does not matter if one of them matches.

| Offspring | |
| Gible The non-Ditto's Original Trainer's offspring is born. | |
Ditto can spawn Eggs with all Pokemon except for some undiscovered egg groups and with another Ditto. The gender of the non-Ditto Original Trainer can be either male or female, and the resulting Egg will be the offspring of the non-Ditto Original Trainer.

Use Egg Power To Hatch Eggs Faster
| Estimated Time | |
|---|---|
| No Egg Power | Longest, it can take about 30-40 minutes |
| Egg Power Lv1 | Longest, it can take about 30-40 minutes |
| Egg Power Lv2 (Recommended) | It takes about 30 seconds to make one Egg. |
| Egg Power Lv3 | Takes about 15-30 seconds to make one Egg. |
Activating the meal's Egg Power can greatly reduce the time it takes for the Egg to be ready. You can make your own Sandwich, but it is quicker to eat a meal at a restaurant. Also, level 3 activation requires Herba Mystica which is a waste since they are rare so Egg Power with level 2 is recommended.

If you want to activate Egg Power 2 by eating at a restaurant, we recommend the Compote du Fils worth 2,800 Poke Dollars at the Gastronomie En Famille Restaurant. This is available in the four towns listed above.
Egg Power Sandwich & Food ListYou Do Not Need To Exchange To Make An Egg
| Advantage | You and your partner's Pokemon can make Eggs. └ Eggs of unknown Pokemon can also be made. |
|---|---|
| Disadvantage | The number of Eggs that can be picked are shared. └ If one takes all the Eggs, then other can not pick any. |
If you use the Union Circle in the Poke Portal, you can have a picnic with other players. If you do this, you can use the Pokemon that another player is using and breed it with your Pokemon to have them make an Egg.
Recommended To Use 2 Pokemon For Hatching
Take note that only one can be taken to Picnic in the Union Circle. If there are more than 3 people, 3 Pokemon will be able to participate in the picnic, this will make it difficult to create the type of Egg you are aiming for.
Multiplayer / Co-Op GuideNote The Difference Between Regional Variants And Original Form
May Require Everstone
Even if one of the Pokemon parent is normal like Wooper and the other has a regional form, it will be a Paldean Wooper's Egg, no matter which one is from the Original Trainer. To create a normal Wooper Egg, the Original Trainer's normal Wooper must have an Everstone.
Example: Normal Wooper Hatching MethodNormal Wooper Hatching Method
| ♂ Original Trainer | ♀ Original Trainer |
|---|---|
| Ditto Held Item: None Nature：Modest | Wooper Held Item：Everstone Nature: Timid |
| Offspring | |
| Wooper Nature: Timid | |
To make a Normal Wooper Egg, the Original Trainer's Normal Wooper is given an Everstone. If you want to change the Nature of the offspring's Wooper, you can also have Male Original Trainer (in this case, Ditto) have Everstone, so that nature like Timid and Modest have a 50% chance each to be inherited.
Incorrect Hatching Method 1
| ♂ Original Trainer | ♀ Original Trainer |
|---|---|
| Ditto Held Item: Everstone Nature: Modest | Wooper Held Item：None Nature: Timid |
| Offspring | |
| Paldean Wooper Nature：Modest | |
If the Wooper does not normally have Everstone, a Paldean Wooper is born. Male Original Trainer is a Paldean Wooper with or without Everstone.
Incorrect Hatching Method 2
| ♂ Original Trainer | ♀ Original Trainer |
|---|---|
| Ditto Held Item: None Nature：Modest | Paldean Wooper Held Item: Everstone Nature: Timid |
| Offspring | |
| Paldean Wooper Nature：Modest | |
Even if the Paldean Wooper has Everstone, the Egg will still be a Paldean Wooper. Since the Paldean Wooper is common in SV, having an Everstone in a Paldean Wooper does not usually produce a normal Wooper.
The Difference In Form Is The Same As Female Original Trainer
For Pokemon like Oricorio which have different forms depending on the location, the status of Female Original Trainer is carried over to Egg. For example, if you want Oricorio's Pom-Pom style form Egg, you have to breed a Female or Male Oricorio with Pom-Pom form from the Original Trainer with Ditto to create an egg.
The Only Way To Hatch Eggs Is To Walk
In previous titles, in order to hatch and obtain some Pokemon from the Egg, it was necessary to have the Original Trainer have a designated incubator in the inventory to hold it for a particular time period. In this game, the only way to hatch them is to walk. Each egg has a definite Egg Cycle that corresponds to a certain number of steps required for it to hatch.
*In past works, an incubator is required to obtain it.
How To Hatch Eggs And Reduce Hatching Time
Best Way To Hatch Eggs Is By Riding Around With Them On Koraidon Or Miraidon
Eggs are placed in the Pokemon Team and after a certain number of steps are taken, the Eggs hatch. Since both walking and riding on the Legendary Ride are acceptable, it is recommended that incubation take place on the Legendary Ride, which is the fastest way to travel.
Eggs Can Be Placed In Up To 5 Pokemon Teams
Up to 5 Eggs can be included in a Pokemon Team. If you ride with five eggs in, you can hatch five at the same time, which is more efficient.
Easy To Run Around In A Circle
▲Just input the L stick and R stick both to the right.
If the area is large and free of obstacles and wild Pokemon, it is very easy to keep running with simple controls. The incubation process can be done singlehandedly, even with your eyes off the game screen.
▼Move to the recommended location for hatching.
Some Ability Can Reduce The Hatching Time By Half
| Ability That Can Reduce Hatching Time | ||
|---|---|---|
| Flame Body | Steam Engine | Magma Armor |
When hatching Eggs, if you have a Pokemon with the above Ability in your Pokemon Team, the number of steps required to hatch the Egg will be halved. Keep one as it will greatly reduce the time needed for hatching.

| No Egg Power | About 3 minutes | Approximately 1 minute 30 seconds |
| Egg Power Lv1 | Approximately 2 minutes 20 seconds | About 1 minute 10 seconds |
| Egg Power Lv2 (Recommended) | About 2 minutes | About 1 minute |
| Egg Power Lv3 | About 1 minute 20 seconds | About 40 seconds |
*Verified with Eevee hatching (Take note that each Pokemon may have a slight difference))
*Time taken while dashing in Legendary Ride
Eating meals like Sandwiches activate Egg Power that can reduce the number of steps required to hatch an Egg. You can create your own Sandwich, but it is more convenient to buy food at a restaurant. In addition, Egg Power 3 requires Herba Mystica, which is a waste of rare items to use for Egg Power, so it is recommended to use meals with Egg Power 2 instead.

If you want to to buy a meal with Egg Power 2 at a restaurant, we recommend Compote du Fils worth 2,800 Poke Dollars at Gastronomie en Famille. It can be purchased in the four towns listed above.
Egg Power Sandwich & Food ListRecommended Locations For Egg Hatching
| Location | Recommendations |
|---|---|
| ▼Cascarrafa | ・Eat a meal with Egg Power 2 at the store to activate its effects. ・You can ride in the town. ・Picnics available outside of town. └ Can make Eggs |
| ▼In front of Zero Gate | ・Create a picnic on the spot to have eggs ・It is easy to run with wide spaces ・You can create your own Sandwich but it is too much time consuming ・Must progress the story to access it. |
Cascarrafa
You can ride around and find a store in Cascarrafa where you can buy a meal with Egg Power 2. Furthermore, if you fly to the Pokemon Center and go out of town, you can also craft Eggs with Picnic.
How To Hatch Eggs With Legendary Ride
▲ Try to find an open space where you can cycle around on either Koraidon and Miraidon.
In Front Of Zero Gate
| In Front Of Zero Gate | After the ending ▶Post Game Walkthrough Guide |
|---|
Since there is no towns in front of Area Zero Gate, it is better to hatch eggs there than Cascarrafa since you can open a Picnic in that area and make Eggs on the spot. On the other hand, Area Zero Gate does not have a store that you can buy a meal with Egg Power 2, so you have to make your own Sandwich or buy one before hand to activate its effects.
