The Pokémon Nursery

Welcome to the Pokémon Nursery! We have eggcellent events here.

[pokenursery]

Welcome to the Pokémon Nursery! I'll be hosting events such as Pokémon egg giveaways and adoptions of varying kinds. This is a sideblog to @talesfantastic and will follow / send asks/submit from there. It's also where you can find some of our original Pokémon characters for full fledged roleplay (you must be a RP blog).

However! This blog is open to Tumblr as a whole, meaning you do not have to be a roleplay blog. You don't even have to play along with a mini roleplay. If you only want to receive an egg, stop in the ASK BOX to ask for a randomized egg and I will base it largely on the color theme of your blog unless you request a particular theme.

If you want a little taste of roleplay interaction, please fill out THIS FORM and plop it in the submissions box and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able with whatever you've requested.

When you've got a minute, feel free to check out more information on this mobile-friendly google doc that hosts the About, FAQ, and introduces in-character staff.

Hope to see you soon! We'll have an eggcellent time.

Pokemon Breeding Masterpost

Applicable as of early Feb '26

So I wrote up several connected posts about Pokemon Breeding, and it dawned on me it would be wise to have a master post linking them all together by subtopic. SO, here we go:

PT 1: EGG GROUPS

What it says on the tin; I define, list and discuss the 16 egg groups.

PT 2: WHERE, HOW & HATCHING

You have to meet specific conditions to have an egg. This post covers that over a course of various generations, and explains the process of hatching an egg.

PT 3: WHY YOU SHOULD BREED POKEMON

Breeding Pokemon is a lot of work! for something generally unnecessary to finish the basic games. What reasons add up to making it a worthy endeavor? Here we discuss new Pokemon, and Egg Moves

PT 4: CHAIN BREEDING

Breeding over more than one generation to achieve an unexpected move -- chain breeding -- can be a complex art. How do you do it?

[pokenursery]

Hey guys, long time no see. Thinking of doing another Pokemon giveaway soon, but in the meantime here's a little masterpost I put together for some Pokemon breeding resources on my gameplay blog. Currently doing a run on Pokemon Crystal, previously did Pokemon Stadium 2. Many other games planned, feel free to come hang out. I'm not a competitive player, but I sure have fun!

(As of this very moment I'm dealing with Mt. Mortar. Fun times.)

[pokenursery]

I somehow complexity forgot to check in on the egg that's supposed to have hatched on November 25th of last year- I even had a sticky note written down and yet I forgor-

//Not gonna lie this got buried in my askbox and I had no idea it was there! CELEBRATION TIME! I'm so glad you came back for this egg!

Your Egg Hatched into BAGON!

Bagon (Pokémon)

This little powerhouse will one day grow into a mighty dragon! With a 50%-50% chance of being male or female, you've hatched a mighty female! While normally solitary, a Bagon raised around people is much more inclined to seek out the people it knows. Just be careful! Her dreams of growing up into a Salamence often lead to premature flight efforts such as jumping off furniture and even small buildings and cliffs. (Please don't worry, its head is phenomenally strong and will go relatively undamaged by such efforts.)

Please do not try that yourself without equipment!

[pokenursery]

Sorry we were late, the Egg you gave us Is overdue to hatch, what did we get?

- The Sentient hat, Bambi hat 🧢

@th3-idiots2024

Never to worry! I believe you had a hunch about this egg...

Your Egg Hatched Into NATU!

Natu (Pokémon)

Your new Poké Partner had a 50%-50% chance to be male of female, and you've got yourself a girl. Natu, as you may be aware, have been aware, is a quirky Pokémon. Despite its prophetic abilities, most can be easily spooked. They also have a strange habit of staring at things until the thing moves, or they're distracted.

[pokenursery]

[HI MOD OF @gymleadergarnet AGAIN I FORGOT TO CHECK ON THE EGG FOR @phantomjokerofhearts]

//No worries, I'm Dealing With Life and also slow!

Aspen checked the records. "Ah yes, your egg is ready to hatch. And it's a peculiar but popular one --"

Your Egg Hatched Into EEVEE

Eevee (Pokémon)

Eevee's are overwhelmingly male -87.5% chance, in fact- so it's not a surprise this little guy is in fact male. If your partner decides he's open to evolving some day, you'll have a pick of a wide range of processes and an even wider range of outcomes! These evolutionary branches are known by PokéFans as Eeveelutions.

[pokenursery]

I FORGOT ABOUT PKMN IRL I AM SO SORRY anyways this is @neraidaphobia’s mod I’m pretty sure the egg has hatched by now so yea

//Hatch day was back a few days ago, but you're good friend! People can always pop in.

Welcome back Natina! Your egg is indeed ready to hatch. It took a long time, but some eggs do. You have a true baby Pokémon. You see,

Your Egg Hatched Into: HAPPINY!

Happiny (Pokémon)

Happiny is the baby form of the better known Chansey. With a purely female line, you were guaranteed a little girl. They're very caring, and are usually seen working alongside our hardworking 'center nurses to take care of trainers across the regions! May she help you the same way as she grows up!

[pokenursery]

@pkmn-trainer-finch

"Well hello there, Finch. We got your profile attached to the request form, thank you for filling it out so neatly. You mentioned having worked with Flying, Dark, and Ghost types which certainly narrowed it down. Now, I'm aware that you're currently trekking through Johto and I'd like to check one more thing."

Holly held up her pointer finger to illustrate. "Do you want your new teammate to be a surprise when it hatches -- just swing back here when the time comes? Or, having experience with Pokémon like you do, I imagine you'll recognize your new little buddy, and may not need much if any guidance. No shame in asking, of course.

"We tried to match up with your desired types, with the benefit of it being native to your home-away-from-home, Johto. And I have to say, I think we did pretty good."

She reached behind the counter to pick up a large purple egg with it's tell-tale crystalline marking, setting an incubator beside it with a warm smile at Finch.

[pokenursery]

Hello! I received an egg from here a bit ago and iirc you said it’d hatch yesterday ^^ apologies for being a bit late sjsjs

Ah yes! Sorry it took a moment to get back to you, let's see what's hatched, shall we?

Your egg hatched into EEVEE!

Eevee (Pokémon)

These friendly Normal Types have an 87.5% chance of being male, so don't be surprised that yours is a bouncing baby boy! You may know, Eevee have the most evolution branches due to it's "unstable" genetic code that allow it to evolve in many ways, and have the most unique signature moves as an evolution family - these are known by PokéFans as Eeveelutions.

[pokenursery]

Not MIA; Life Happens

//having some computer difficulties one top of some personal things going on (I'm fine, things just suck sometimes.) So as you've seen, I'm a bit slower lately. BUT, we're still in action so checkins, requests, questions etc -- all welcome!

[pokenursery]

Hi, I'm here to check up on the egg I received

@olivias-antics

Welcome, welcome. Your egg is ready to hatch today! It looks like you've been waiting a long time...

Your egg hatched into DRUDDIGON!

Druddigon (Pokémon)

Druddigon is a Dragon type Pokémon that has a 50% chance of being male or female. Yours seems to be female! Please note, the Pokédex, as a community effort, is not always reliable when it comes to the temperament and behavior of Pokémon. This "vicious and cunning" Dragon will instead be calmly calculating, highly intelligent and opportunistic if raised with love.

[pokenursery]

Ohh this seems cute, could I be sent an egg?

You can indeed, we're open to requests! (Though for people doing the giveaway it's important they reblog the giveaway instead!)

You have been given an egg on October 15th.

This egg has a long incubation time! It will be ready in 41 days. On or after November 25th, feel free to come back and check in to find out what you've got. (You don't have to, that part's just for fun.)

[pokenursery]

Hey I have this egg that just showed up a while back… anyway it’s hatching.

~@two-cats-and-a-balloon (ignore me being off anon but images)

//Never a problem being on or off anon so long as you let me know who you are, normally to look up the egg and double check the hatchday.

Well, these things happen... I'd recognize that one anywhere but let's see it hatch....

Your egg hatched into SWABLU!

Swablu (Pokémon)

Swablu are a notoriously fastidious Normal/Flying mix type, they'll use their great fluffy wings to dust off surfaces, then preen, then start again! An absolutely beautiful girl you have here, with a 50% chance of having been male instead. Consider yourself warned, they like to nest in their trainer's hair!

[pokenursery]

AGH HI @gymleadergarnet HERE I'M A COUPLE DAYS LATE I'VE BEEN BUSY LATELY WHAT DID I HATCH

Garnet, hello! Never fear, we'll be here, haha. Your egg is quite sweet, I think.

Your egg hatched into LUVDISC!!

Luvdisc (Pokémon)

Luvdisc are overwhelmingly female -- by 75%! -- so its no wonder your egg hatched a female Luvdisc. Did you know it used to be a popular gesture to give someone you love a Luvdisc? They first appeared in Hoenn, amongst reefs of Corsola.

[pokenursery]

" hia, got an egg from here. Hows it doing?"

@coal-the-gym-leader

Coal, hello! I do hope your training is going well. This egg is one that my wife's old man swears by.

Your egg hatched into SLUGMA!!

Slugma (Pokémon)

Slugma have a 50% chance to be male or female, and yours is female. It also has three potential abilities, though this one in particular has Flame Body. We don't usually comment on abilities, but since that's the specific one that makes eggs hatch faster it's a nice little tidbit ;)

[pokenursery]

OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE EGG

I think it looks ready to hatch!!

- @rocketryu

You're right, that egg is due to hatch. Let's seee...

Your egg evolved into SHUPPET!

Shuppet (Pokémon)

Despite being in the Amorphous egg group, Shuppets have a 50% chance of being male or female, and yours is male. These fascinating Pokémon are drawn to negative emotions and feed off them. In fact, they've been used to treat depression as they siphon off all negative feelings and energy and leave trainers feeling refreshed and calm.

[pokenursery]

wow this is slightly overdue...

hey! uh. we recieved an egg from here not long ago? we'd like to check on the egg if that's fine and dandy?

(@teammagma-confessions)

Well hello there! Your egg looks healthy to me -- in fact, it looks like it's about to hatch!

Your egg hatched into MAGBY!

Magby (Pokémon)

This little guy is an official "baby Pokémon" as the Professor discovered in Johto; these are first level evolutions that cannot breed, though later evolved forms can. He had a 75% of being male, and is in fact a male 'mon. It's the first stage of Magmar, a very fitting Pokémon for your team, don't you think?

[pokenursery]

Ayye its egg opening time!! (for mistermxrgan :3)

Ahh Arthur! ( @mistermxrgan ) it most certainly does look like your egg is ready!

Your egg hatched into: RIOLU

Riolu (Pokémon)

A Riolu has a 87.5% chance of being male, as is this little one. You'll find he's a very suitable Pokémon for you, fiercely loyal with dreams of growing up into a strong, skilled Lucario. They evolve when they've grown close to their partner.
