As soon as you finish up your Gym fight against Falkner and leave the Gym, your PokéGear’s phone will ring. It’s Prof. Elm! Has he figured out how to use his phone yet? He’ll call and tell you that he wants you to hold onto that Egg now, because it needs friendship and stuff like that in order to hatch. Sure. So go pick it up from the Poké Mart, and boom, you’ve got your very own Egg to baby in your party.
Yeah, you heard me correctly: the Poké Mart. Unlike Pokémon Gold and Silver, Prof. Elm’s aide is waiting for you in the Poké Mart now. He’s the guy in the lab coat. Should be obvious.
After picking up the Egg, some lady dressed in a kimono will come over to you and notice your Egg and talk about Prof. Elm some. Then she does some spin thing and heads off to the south. Weird!
What will hatch from that Egg? Spoilers: it’s the same thing that hatches from nearly every Egg… a Togepi. That’s great if you like Togepi or Togetic, but now that there’s Togekiss, you might actually want to train it. This Togepi does know the move ExtraSensory, though, so it might be worth your while to train it up.
[info class=”special” title=”After your Egg hatches…”]After your Egg hatches, take the hatched Pokémon back to Professor Elm in New Bark Town, with it in your lead position, and he’ll give you an Everstone for aiding him with hatching that Egg! Sweet![/info]
Before you head south, you might want to check out Route 36 to the west of Violet City for a valuable HM.
[Yeah, let’s go to Route 36 and get the HM! (optional, but recommended)]
[Nah, who needs adventure; let’s go to Route 32 instead.]
