Egg hatching journey on Pokemon Violet
Recently, I have discovered the "egg breeding" and "egg hatching" feature on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Then I learnt that I need to have similar looking Pokemon, or a Ditto in a pinic together and sit there and wait for minutes, Pokemon may or may not lay eggs there then.
It made me curious and I had one Ditto (although not of good stats), so I hosted a few picnics with some Pokemon.
This time I expected eggs of Clefairy, Gengar, Milotic and Magcargo to be laid. I had the evolved versions of them (apart from Gengar), but not the initial Pokemon like Feebas so I was curious if I could get them (so I added a Ditto here).
Then this time was with a Quaquaval, Snorlax, Charizard, Azumarill and my absolute favourite, the reliable Ribombee. It certainly turned into a scene from Pokemon Sleep! At one point, Snorlax was the only one running around whilst every other Pokemon was fast asleep. Snorlax must certainly emit some sleep powder unconsciously.
I definitely have the cutest Snorlax existing.
Once you gather the Pokemon in a picnic, make any kind of egg power raising sandwich. If it raises the egg power by 2, the Pokemon would breed eggs quicker, if it is only one level up, they still breed eggs but not as frequently.
They are usually simple recipes unlike Sparkling Power sandwiches so I was relieved making them.
Once you eat the sandwich, just wait.
Wait... The cutest Snorlax.
Wait... my favourite Ribombee. "Bug and Fairy type" combination. Absolutely monstrous in this little baby look.
Every now and then, have a peek inside the basket not the one on the table but sitting beside the table.
Some Pokemon drops berries and some breed eggs there. I looked up on Google and some wrote that the basket can store up to 10 eggs, so you can take out the eggs every so often.
(Yes, it seems like I did this experiment als with Golem and Mismagius).
Once you pick up the eggs, they go into the Box. Place the eggs in your team and walk or run on Miraidon/Koraidon for 1,000 steps - then eggs will hatch automatically.
That is the mother/father Ditto on the top left and everything else is the hatched Pokemon here (not the Gengar).
The egg will stop you whenever it wants to hatch.
I do not know the difference of the graphics... Sometimes they do that fancy background, sometimes they hatch just on the grond surface.
I think I got most of the unevolved version of the Pokemon by doing this. I could not get a Munchlax nor Geodude, and I hatched too many Azurill and Gastly but I got some good hatches.
Apparently by having a high quality Ditto from a Tera Raid, you can breed Pokemon with great stats so I am hoping to encounter Ditto in a Tera Raid somewhere but they are so rare...
Anyway, egg hatching does not require much technical skills, and it is fun if you still have empty space remaining in your boxes. I recently received a Skeledirge through a surprise trade so I might as well try breeding their eggs too.
