You can obtain Pokemon Eggs by Breeding two Pokemon of the Opposite Gender that share an Egg Group; you can learn more about hatching eggs below.

How To Hatch Eggs in PLA

Just like the past games, hatching an Egg requires you to walk a certain amount of steps before said egg hatches. Some eggs take longer to hatch due to requiring more steps, and some hatch quickly, needing fewer steps.

  1. First you will need to obtain an egg, this can be done by Breeding 2 pokemon who are opposite genders and share the same Egg Group.
  2. After you have a pokemon egg, you will need to place it in 1 of the 6 pokemon slots that allow you to carry pokemon.
  3. When a pokemon egg is in a Pokemon Slot, it will count steps you take. After traveling a certain amount of steps, your pokemon egg will begin to hatch.

AFK Egg Hatching Trick

Did you know riding a Bike will hatch eggs faster? This is the go to method for most players, this can be even more effective with the afk egg hatching trick. This is an old school trick the uses the controller and can be done using whatever is available to you.

  1. First, you will need to find an open space where your character won't get stuck on in-game objects like trees, pokemon encounters, rocks, etc.
  2. Next, you will want the controller's Left Stick pointing Forward and the controller's Right Stick pointing Left or Right direction.
  3. Doing this will cause your character to walk or ride the bike around in circles. While you are AFK, your character is moving, which will cause your egg to hatch.
  4. Below is an example of a Twitter user @poke23156978 using ChopSticks; however, people achieve the same results using Paper Weights, Tape, Rubberbands, etc., just be careful not to ruin your controller.
