Halloween 2026Leave two Pokémon that can breed at the Day Care with /daycare. As you chat, they find an Egg, and as you keep chatting, it hatches. Eggs run on your chat messages, not on a timer, so a busy server hatches faster than a quiet one.
Which Pokémon can make an Egg?
- One male and one female that share an Egg Group.
- Ditto with almost anything, genderless Pokémon included. Two Ditto can't.
- Pokémon in the Undiscovered group can't breed at all, even with Ditto: legendaries, baby Pokémon, Nidorina and Nidoqueen.
- Pokémon in costume can't breed.
- Manaphy only breeds with Ditto, and its Egg is always Phione.

What hatches?
The first form of the parent that isn't Ditto. A few baby Pokémon only hatch if a parent is holding the right incense, like in the games.
How long does it take?
About 50 of your chat messages to find an Egg, then 30 to 70 more to hatch it. Rarer Pokémon take longer. Spam, repeats and very short messages don't count. A Pokémon with Flame Body or Magma Armor in your party hatches Eggs twice as fast.
What gets passed down?
Three IVs from the parents, or five with a Destiny Knot. An Everstone passes down the Nature, a Power item locks in its stat, and Egg Moves come from either parent. The baby hatches in the mother's Poké Ball, or the other parent's if one is Ditto. A Master Ball never passes down.
Can an Egg be shiny?
Yes, at the same odds as a wild Pokémon. Nothing you can buy changes them.
