Pokémon GO: What is a strange egg?
That might make you wonder, what are stange eggs in Pokémon GO? Well, weird eggs are something you’ve probably had, and may still have, in Pokémon Go. These are the special red eggs that you get for defeating the rocket leaders. These have been harder to come by in the past as you would be missing out if you had a full list of nine eggs in your inventory, but the special edition that allows you to put those red eggs in should allow you to have some.
Especially for Pancham, you will need some of these red eggs after Pancham is added. With the new update showing you potential Pokémon that you can get from each egg, you can make sure a specific egg is one to hatch from and throw it in an incubator and hope for the best.
The current list of Pokemon that drop from the eggs are:
Tier 1 Rarity
- Absol
- Larvitar
- Pawniard
- Scraggy
- Vullaby
Tier 3 Rarity
- Deino
- Pancham
- Qwilfish
- Skorupi
- Sandile

What is the rarest egg in Pokemon Go?
The rarest egg in Pokemon Go is a 12km egg – and they’re the ones you need to walk around with the longest, in order to hatch it.
Pokemon: The eggs come in five different types: 2 km, 5 km, 7 km, 10 km, and finally, our stange eggs are 12 km. Pokemon inside increases as levels go up, so a 10-kilometre egg will hatch for you something rarer than 2 kilometres.
How to eggs hatch quickly in Pokemon Go
If you are lucky enough to have some of these coveted eggs, you will want to hatch them and reveal your Pokémon as soon as possible.
Here’s a tips how to hatch eggs quickly:
- Use incubators – It can be purchased via the Pokemon Go store. However, it is disposable, so it expires after three uses. We recommend using them to hatch 10 km and 12 km of eggs.
- Turn on Adventure Sync – Adventure Sync makes sure that your steps are recorded even if the app isn’t open.
Adventure Sync is only available from Level 5 onwards- Leave your Go on even if you’re just at home – Pokemon Go often picks up minor movements, so if you stick your phone to charge and leave it on, you’ll start gaining steps even though you’re not walking.
