Pokemon Eggs were 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 in Pokemon GO, they have several differences that set them apart from the mainline games.
The Pokemon GO Eggs can be obtained in various ways such as spinning PokeStops, battling Team GO Rocket Leaders, and more. There are five different types of Eggs in GO. Eggs are classified by the km it takes to hatch them, such as 2km Eggs or 7km Eggs. You should familiarize yourself with which Eggs will hatch what Pokemon and how to go about obtaining them.
Updated on August 7, 2024 by Renri Seong: Obtaining and hatching Eggs in Pokemon GO works differently from mainline Pokemon games, such as Scarlet & Violet. Whenever new Pokemon cross over into GO, 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.

How to Get Pokemon Eggs
Types of Pokemon Eggs
There are six different Eggs in Pokemon GO:
- 2km (Green spots)
- 5km (Orange spots)
- 7km (Yellow with pink spots)
- 10km (Purple spots)
- 12km (Red spots)
- 5/10km Adventure Sync Eggs (Orange/Purple spots)
The Pokemon GO Eggs 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 can only have a 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:
- The 2km, 5km, and 10km Eggs can be obtained by spinning Poke Stops.
- 7km Eggs are obtained in Gifts.
- 12km Eggs can only be obtained by defeating Team Rocket Leaders or Giovanni.
- 5km and 10km Adventure Sync Eggs can only be obtained by walking 25km (5km Egg) or 50km (10km Egg) within a week. The reward is given out on 12:00am Monday (local).

How to Hatch Eggs
Hatching Experience and More
Each Pokemon GO player will have one Egg Incubator that 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 Incubators can be used three times before they break. A Super Incubator will 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 will break after three uses. An Egg Incubator costs 150 PokeCoins while the Super Incubator costs 200 PokeCoins. Sometimes, Egg Incubators may be included in the Limited Time Only boxes 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 Candy and Stardust received will be randomly generated within a set range:
