Possible causes and remedies for eggs not hatching in Pokémon GO

pokemon-go-3

In this article we’ll be looking at the different causes for eggs not hatching in Pokémon GO and how to solve them.

In Pokémon GO, the aim of the game is to capture Poékmon that appear on the map and to pick up items from Pokéstops.

Eggs are included in the items you can get here, but in some cases a problem arises in the form of the eggs not hatching.

There are several causes for this, so let’s have a look at them here along with how to solve them.

What causes the eggs to not hatch in Pokémon GO?

You haven’t put them in an incubator

In order for the eggs to hatch in Pokémon GO, you first need to put them in an incubator.

There are special incubators as well as a basic incubator that doesn’t have a limited number of uses, but in any case you can only incubate up to 2 eggs at a time.

Eggs that aren’t placed in the incubator will not hatch.

You’re moving too quickly

In Pokémon GO, each egg has a predefined distance that needs to be covered in order for the egg to hatch.

However, distances traveled by train or by car may not be reflected in this.

That is because there is a rule that states that only distances traveled at speeds slower than 10km/h will be accounted for as far as the egg hatching is concerned.

This makes sense as the game was designed on the premises of it being played on foot.

Even on a bicycle, if you pedal too fast your distances won’t be accounted for.

B The Incubator signals 5/5km but the egg still won’t hatch

The number is rounded up to the decimal point, so you may find out that the actual figure is 4.90km if you tap on it.

There is also the possibility of slight miscalculations that lead to the precise distance not being computed correctly.

C The app is running, but it isn’t on screen

Even if Pokémon GO is running, the distance traveled won’t be accounted for if the game isn’t on screen.

What to do when the eggs aren’t hatching in Pokémon GO

@ Don’t forget to place the egg in an incubator

You should make sure your egg is placed in an incubator

You can easily forget to place an egg in the incubator following the hatching of the previous egg.

You should immediately place a new egg in the incubator as soon as the previous egg hatches.

A Keep an eye on your traveling speed

You shouldn’t expect eggs to hatch from distances traveled in cars or trains.

If you’re cycling, the average traveling speed is 12km/h so you should think about slowing down a bit.

Walking or running is the most fail-proof means of transport so you should use these to hatch your eggs.

B Check and complete the remaining distance.

I’m sure the egg will hatch soon, so make sure you complete the remaining distance.

C Always keep the Pokémon GO screen on

The distances needed for the hatching of the egg won’t be calculated when the screen isn’t showing Pokémon GO.

This drains the battery, so it’d be a good idea to carry a battery-pack around with you.

Pokémon eggs can contain rare Pokémon that you can’t easily get your hands on in Pokémon GO.

The longer the distance required for an egg to hatch, the better the chances it contains a rare Pokémon. It can even be a good reason for you to start walking or jogging.
