How Can You Tell When an Egg Is Ready in Pokemon Gold

From Bulbapedia, the customs-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in utilize is a fan designator; see below for more information.

An Egg bike (Japanese: タマゴのサイクル Egg cycle) is an internal value used for tracking how long until a Pokémon Egg hatches in the core series Pokémon games.

An Egg'south Egg bicycle counter is initially set to a specific value that depends on the Pokémon species about to hatch. When an Egg is in the party, taking a item number of steps decreases its remaining number of Egg cycles by 1. When the player takes a number of steps equal to an Egg cycle, their Egg'southward remaining Egg cycles normally decrease past 1. Once an Egg has no Egg cycles remaining, information technology hatches. The specifics of how this is implemented differs betwixt generations.

Steps per cycle

This department is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add together missing information and complete it. Reason: Generation VIII bike length

The number of steps per Egg cycle differs between generations.

• In Generations II, III and VII, Egg cycles are 256 steps long.
• In Generation Iv, Egg cycles are 255 steps long.
• In Generations Five and VI, Egg cycles are 257 steps long.

Decreasing Egg cycles

Generation V onward

Every time an Egg cycle is completed, the Egg cycle count for all Eggs in the player's party is decreased by 1; if a Pokémon with Flame Torso, Magma Armor or Steam Engine is in the party, it is instead decreased by ii (but not to less than 0).

When an Egg's Egg wheel count reaches 0, it hatches. If multiple Eggs are ready to hatch later an Egg cycle ends, the start Egg in the party will hatch immediately, while the remaining Eggs will hatch—in political party order and one at a time—each time the thespian takes another step.

Using a Hatching Power (from Pass Powers or O-Powers) will shorten the length of an Egg cycle depending on the strength of the Ability used.

• Weak: ^four/_five (205 steps)
• Medium: ²/₃ (171 steps)
• Strong: ¹/₂ (129 steps)

The number of steps walked in the current Egg cycle is also modified by the appropriate multiplier above. When the Hatching Ability wears off, the current number of steps walked in the current Egg wheel is divided by the aforementioned multiplier.

In Pokémon Omega Scarlet and Alpha Sapphire, using a Secret Pal'south "Take care of an Egg" skill decrease an Egg's current Egg bike count by one-half of its base Egg cycle count, rounded upward.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the player leaves an Egg at Poké Pelago'due south Isle Avue, its remaining Egg cycles are decreased over time.

Generations 3 and IV

Every time an Egg cycle is completed, the game goes through the Eggs in the player's party in order and performs the post-obit:

• If the Egg's Egg cycle count is 0, the Egg hatches and no other Eggs are candy.
• Otherwise, subtract 1 from the Egg'south wheel count.
  • In Pokémon Emerald or Generation IV games, if a Pokémon with Flame Body or Magma Armor is in the party, decrease 2 instead of 1 (merely to no less than 0).

As a consequence of this logic, in order to hatch a given Egg, the player must walk one more Egg bicycle than the Egg's base Egg cycle value. For case, a new Magikarp Egg has an Egg cycle value of five, but the actor must walk 6 Egg cycles in society to hatch it. Likewise, if a Pokémon with Flame Body or Magma Armor is in the party, instead of an Egg taking base_Egg_cycles / 2 (rounded upwards) Egg cycles to hatch, base_Egg_cycles / 2 + 1 (rounded up) Egg cycles must be walked.

When an Egg is received from the Solar day-Intendance Man, the counter for the current number of steps taken in the electric current Egg cycle is set to 1 in Generation III or to 0 in Generation Iv.

Generation II

Every fourth dimension an Egg cycle is completed, the game goes through the Eggs in the player's political party in gild and performs the post-obit:

• Subtract ane from the Egg's cycle count. If its Egg bike count is at present 0, the Egg hatches and no other Eggs are processed.

Quotes

The quote shown from the table beneath depends solely on the Egg cycle value in the Egg's Pokémon data structure. That is, since, in Generations Iii and IV, the number of Egg cycles remaining for the thespian to walk before an Egg hatches is one greater than the value in the Egg's data structure, the maximum number of Egg cycles the player must walk is not the maximum shown in the leftmost jail cell, only one greater than that value. Every bit an example, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a new Magikarp Egg has a base of operations 5 Egg cycles and will show the quote "Sounds can be heard coming from inside! Information technology will hatch soon!" on its summary screen, but the player will have to walk half-dozen Egg cycles before the Egg will hatch.

Egg cycles	Generation Ii	Generation III	Generations IV and V	Generations VI and VII
5 or fewer	It's making sounds within. It's going to hatch soon!	It's making sounds! Information technology's about to hatch!	Sounds tin can be heard coming from inside! It will hatch soon!	Sounds can be heard coming from inside! This Egg will hatch presently!
six-10	It moves around inside sometimes. Information technology must be close to hatching.	It moves occasionally. Information technology should hatch shortly.	It appears to move occasionally. It may be close to hatching.
11-40	Wonder what's within? It needs more time, though.	What will hatch from this? It will take some time.	What will hatch from this? Information technology doesn't seem close to hatching.	What Pokémon will hatch from this Egg? Information technology doesn't seem close to hatching.
41 or more than	This Egg needs a lot more fourth dimension to hatch.	It looks like this Egg volition accept a long time to hatch.	Information technology looks like this Egg will take a long time to hatch.	It looks every bit though this Egg volition take a long time yet to hatch.

At Poké Pelago'south Isle Avue, if the player has an Egg in the hot springs and taps it, Mohn will have a unique set of quotes about the Egg, but they will however stand for to the same intervals.

Egg cycles	Quote
0	Yous've come at merely the right fourth dimension! This Egg looks gear up to hatch at any moment!
1-5	This Egg looks fix to hatch at any moment!
6-ten	I think this Egg's still got a trivial while to go earlier it'll be ready to hatch.
11-40	This Egg nevertheless looks like it's a quite a while away from hatching.
41 or more than	Information technology looks like it'southward going to be a good long while until this Egg hatches.

Trivia

• In the Pokémon data structure, the number of Egg cycles required to hatch an Egg is stored in the same field that stores the friendship of Pokémon that are non in Eggs.
• The just Pokémon species with more than 40 Egg cycles are those in the Undiscovered Egg Group, which cannot produce eggs legitimately. However, the Wynaut and Togepi Eggs received by the player in Pokémon Omega Blood-red and Blastoff Sapphire take Egg cycles of seventy, making them the only legitimate Eggs that can deport the quotes given for 41 or more Egg cycles.
