Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Egg Hatching
Before you can hatch an egg, you will need to acquire one. You can obtain Pokemon Eggs by Breeding two Pokemon of the Opposite Gender that share an Egg Group. In pokemon SV you can start breeding at any Picnic you setup, after some time passes an egg will appear in the "Picnic Basket". After you receive an egg from a picnic basket it will be immediately added to your "PC Box".
How To Hatch Eggs in Pokemon SV
Just like the past games, hatching an Egg requires you to walk a certain amount of steps with said egg in your party. Some eggs take longer to hatch due to requiring more steps, and some hatch quickly, needing fewer steps.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Hatching Eggs Cheats and Exploits
In past Pokemon games, some methods made hatching Pokemon faster or easier. These came in the form of Glitches, Having pokemon with certain abilities in your party or just a clever afk trick that makes the process easier.
How To Hatch Eggs Faster
If a Pokémon with Flame Body or Magma Armor Ability and a Pokémon Egg are both in the party, the number of steps required to hatch the egg are halved. Below is a list of pokemon that have a chance of having the Flame Body or Magma Armor Ability.

AFK Egg Hatching Trick
Did you know riding a Bike will hatch eggs faster? This is the go to method for most players, and is recommended if you plan to hatch multiple eggs. Combine this with the afk egg hatching trick which uses a controller.
- 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.
- Next, you will want the controller's Left Stick pointing Forward and the controller's Right Stick pointing Left or Right direction.
- 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.
- 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.
