Pokémon GO Egg Chart: What Hatches From Eggs
Pokémon GO features 6 types of Eggs obtained from different sources: 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km Eggs drop from spinning PokéStops and Gyms; 7 km Eggs come from opening Friend Gifts (or exchanging gifts with Mateo at the end of a Route); 12 km Strange Eggs drop from defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders (Arlo, Cliff, Sierra); and weekly Adventure Sync 5 km / 10 km Eggs reward walking 25 km and 50 km.
- Egg Hatch Level & IV Floor: All hatched Pokémon are Level 20 (for trainers Lv. 20+) with a guaranteed 10/10/10 minimum IV floor (67%–100% IV).
- 10 km Eggs (PokéStops & 50 km Adventure Sync): Primary source for Pseudo-Legendaries (Frigibax, Dreepy, Jangmo-o, Larvesta, Goomy, Deino) and Carbink.
- 12 km Strange Eggs (Rocket Leaders): Only way to hatch Salandit (female evolves into Salazzle), Varoom, Larvitar, Sandile, Pawniard, Pancham, and Vullaby. Always keep 1 open slot in your Bonus Storage before fighting Arlo, Cliff, or Sierra!
- 7 km Route Eggs (Mateo Gift Exchange): Exchanging a gift with Mateo at the end of your first daily Route with an open Egg slot grants a special regional/Hisuian 7 km Egg.

How Egg Pools & Rarity Tiers (1-Egg to 5-Egg Icons) Work
Tap any Egg in your Egg Storage and scroll down to see its exact hatch pool—the contents of an Egg are locked at the exact moment you receive the Egg, not when you incubate or hatch it. One-Egg silhouette icons represent common hatches (>20% drop rate), while Five-Egg icons represent rare chase hatches like Larvesta, Dreepy, Frigibax, or Female Salandit (<1%–2% drop rate).
10 km Eggs vs. 12 km Strange Eggs: Where to Use Super Incubators
Never waste paid Incubators or Super Incubators on 2 km or standard 5 km Eggs—always use your orange Infinite Incubator on 2 km Eggs so you can clear your inventory quickly before Hatch Days or Community Days. Save your blue 3-use Incubators and purple Super Incubators (which reduce walking distance by 33%) strictly for 10 km Eggs and 12 km Strange Eggs, and batch-hatch nine 10 km/12 km Eggs simultaneously with a Star Piece active for 50,000+ Stardust.
Weekly 25 km & 50 km Adventure Sync Egg Rewards (Monday 9:00 AM)
Every Monday at 9:00 AM local time, if you walked at least 25 km (for a special 5 km Egg) and 50 km (for a special 10 km Egg) during the previous week AND have open slots in your main 9-Egg storage or 3-Egg Bonus Storage, Adventure Sync awards a curated Egg containing high-value rare dragons and Riolu.
Pokémon GO: Optimal Meta Play vs. Common Resource Traps
- ●Keep top Shadow Raid Attackers (Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Groudon, Shadow Rhyperior, Shadow Mamoswine) as Shadow for the flat +20% raid damage bonus.
- ●Use a Meteorite to teach Mega Rayquaza Dragon Ascent before Mega Evolving, and use Elite Charged TMs for Precipice Blades (Groudon) and Origin Pulse (Kyogre).
- ●Redeem promo codes on the official web store (store.pokemongolive.com).
- ●Never purify a high-tier Shadow raid attacker just to get a 100% IV Hundo—a 0% IV Shadow deals more raid DPS than a 100% IV Purified Pokémon.
- ●Do not spend 296–360 Candy XL pushing non-meta Pokémon to Level 50 before building your core Level 40 raid teams.
- ●Do not forget to have an active Mega Lv. 3 Pokémon matching the raid boss's typing to earn extra Candy XL on catch.
