Pokémon GO Egg Hatching: Which Pokémon Hatch from 2 km, 5 km & 10 km Eggs

Pokémon GO has three different types of eggs each of which hatches different kinds of Pokémon; so if you want to know which Pokémon comes from which egg you’ve come to the right place.

Egg types & hatching basics

Eggs are obtained as random drops from visiting PokéStops and they come in three different types. Eggs are hatched by placing one in an incubator and walking a certain distance: 2km for a green egg, 5km for a yellow egg and 10km for a purple egg. The purple 10km eggs are very rare and as such contain the rarest Pokémon, the 2km eggs tend to be more popular than their 5km counterparts because they are the ones that give potential for starter Pokémon from Kanto – that previously included Pikachu but he was replaced by Pichu after the first Eggstravaganza event.

A player can carry a maximum of nine eggs at a time including the one(s) that are currently being incubated. All trainers are issued with one incubator at the beginning of the game which can be used an infinite amount of times – further incubators can be purchased from the shop for 150 Pokécoins a piece, these purchased incubators have a maximum three uses before they break though.

Hatching eggs is a great way of filling up your PokeDex and getting hold of some mons with good stats, based on quite a lot of feedback from players I know personally and in online communities it seems quite often that hatched Pokémon come with decent appraisals/IV’s.

Stardust, Candies and XP

Hatching a new mon is a special time in any trainers life no doubt, but it’s hard to deny that the other benefits of hatching eggs are not to be sniffed at. Heres what you get for hatching each type of egg:-

• Hatching a 2km egg: 5-10 candies of the hatched Pokémon’s type, 400-800 Stardust and 200 XP
• Hatching a 5km egg: 10-21 candies of the hatched Pokémon’s type, 800-1600 Stardust and 500 XP
• Hatching a 10km egg: 17-30 candies of the hatched Pokémon’s type, 2000-3000 Stardust and 1000 XP

Pokémon that hatch from 2km eggs

These little green 2km eggs are pretty easy to come by with a 36.51% drop chance. At 2km they are the quickest to hatch but not necessarily the least useful… for those who are still trying to get Charizard’s, Venusaur’s and Blastoise or even a Gyarados or Alakazam you have a shot at getting their unevolved versions plus a pile of their candies. The great news is there are only 2670 of the average persons steps between you and hatching one of these guys.

Each Pokémon you can hatch from a 2km egg has a specific chance of being hatched, check it on the chart below – you may notice there are also some Pokémon which previously hatched from these eggs which are no longer hatched anymore for example Caterpie, Weedle, Spearow. I can only assume that the crushing disappointment of receiving one of these from an egg (you know, at a time that’s supposed to be joyful) didn’t just upset me, and caused distress to enough people for Niantic to make some changes.

First gen hatches from 2km eggs

Second gen hatches from 2km eggs
These second gen hatches were added to the 2km egg hatch possibilities in December 2016. Pichu, Cleffa and Igglybuff actually replaced Pikachu, Clefairy and Jigglypuff as it made ‘more sense’ to hatch the baby versions than the second evo’s.

Pokémon that hatch from 5km eggs

The following Pokémon hatch from 5km eggs. 5km eggs are strangely the most common eggs in the game every time you get an egg from a PokéStop there is over a 51% chance that it’ll be a 5km egg. How useful the hatches from these eggs are to you I guess is down to what sort of incumbent mon’s you have living in your area normally.

Gen II hatches in 5km eggs

The following Gen II Pokémon hatch from 5km eggs, they were added to the possible hatch list in December 2016. Elekid, Magby, Smoochum and Tyrogue replacing Electabuzz, Magmar, Jynx and Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee respectively. Gen II starter Pokémon were not previously available from eggs but following on from the Eggstravaganza event this year have been ‘permanently’ added to the lineup of possible hatches for 5km eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from 10km eggs

These purple/white eggs are rare, with only a 12 percent drop chance of getting one each time you pick up an egg. However this is justified by the much better than average Pokémon you are likely to receive including a high percent chance to get hold of a Dratini and a pile of candies toward your dragonite, as well as chances to get the bigboy gym defenders like Chansey (Blissey) and Snorlax.

All of the chance to hatch stats and egg drop stats are based on the culmination of a years worth of play from multiple players across the globe and are pretty accurate at the time of writing this. Niantic is constantly developing and evolving the game, adding new hatches etc which may affect these stats but we’ll update this page and try to keep it as accurate as possible. If anyone gets a hatch that isn’t mentioned on this page at all please report in to luke@pokemondungeon.com – thanks! 🙂
