The fifth generation ofPokemonwas arguably one of the more ambitious regions with 156 never-before-seen Pokemon added to the dex. Despite this, not every Unova Pokemon can be caught inPokemon GOjust yet. Furthermore, there are some Gen 5 Pokemon that are only obtainable via Eggs or have extremely rare spawn rates in the wild.
Hatching Eggs are a part of the mainlinePokemongames, so it’s no surprise to see them inPokemon GO. However, the method of hatching them is different. If trainers intend on getting Unova Pokemon for their team, they’re going to need to obtain a variety of Eggs.

How to Obtain Pokemon Eggs
Pokemon GOplayers can hold up to12 Eggs at a timewith3 of these Eggscategorized as aBonus Storagefor the Strange Eggs. As for the Eggs themselves, they’re labeled by how long it takes for them to hatch:
Eggs are obtained fromspinning PokeStoporGym discs. Players can get either a 2km, 5km, or 10km Egg via this method. If they want a 7km Egg, they’ll need to open a Gift from a Friend. The 12km Eggs, or ratherStrange Eggs, are special and only obtained fromdefeating a Team GO Rocket Leader(or Giovanni).
Finally, theAdventure Sync Eggsare given out based on the player’s walk distance for theprevious week. However, if there’s no room in the Egg storage, then they will not receive an Egg even if they’ve met the milestones.
Which Unova Pokemon Hatch from Eggs?
Recently,the Bug/Fire-type Larvestawas added to the Egg Pool. Before the addition of Larvesta, however, there were multiple Gen 5 Pokemon that could be obtained from Eggs. While some Gen 5 Pokemon are currently Egg-exclusive (such as Larvesta), it’s possible that this will change over time. For example, Deino (Dark/Dragon-type) can be obtained by hatching a 10km Egg, but it can also be found in the wild or given as the reward Pokemon for Field Research Breakthroughs.
Each Pokemon that hatches from Eggs arerated on a 1-5 scale, with 1 being most common, and 5 being incredibly rare.

- While Darumaka and Stunfisk made their debut inBlack/White, the forms that hatch from the 7km Eggs are their Galarian Forms. Instead of being Fire and Ground/Electric-type respectively, Galarian Darumaka and Stunfisk areIce-type and Ground/Steel-type.
Pokemon in the Egg Pool tend to change over time - particularly the 7km Eggs. This tends to happen around holidays or special events so that players can obtain an exclusive Pokemon. To get these Eggs, players will need to open a Gift from a friendwhile the event is ongoing. 7km Eggs received before or after the potential event will go by the original 7km Egg Pool.

How to Hatch Eggs
There’s only one way to hatch Eggs inPokemon GO, and that is to put them in an Incubator. There are currently two types of Incubators: A regular Egg Incubator, and a Super Incubator. These also break after3 uses. However, players will haveone permanent Egg Incubatorin their storage.
Onlyone Egg at a timecan be incubated. If an Egg is placed in aSuper Incubator, the distance required to hatch it will becut in half.
Egg Incubators can be bought at the in-game shop for150 PokeCoins; Super Incubators cost200 PokeCoins. Another way to get Incubators is byraising the Trainer Levelorcompleting certain Special Research Tasks. The Incubators can sometimes bought in bulk if players purchasetheVoyager Boxor theHatch Box, which are under the Limited Time Only! section of the shop.
