The complete guide to Pokemon GO eggs
Egg-citing (sorry, sorry, I'm trying to remove it)
Eggs are one of the prizes you can get from PokeStops, which are the blue symbols seen on the map.
Walk up to a PokeStop until you’re close enough, and which point it will change into a Pokeball symbol. Now tap on it, and spin the disc with your finger until the prizes pop out.
You’ll often get some pokeballs, and maybe some incense. But hopefully you’ll get an egg.
How do you use eggs?Tap on the Pokeball at the bottom of the screen, open your list of Pokemon, and then swipe to the page on the right to find your eggs.
Tap on one to start the incubation process. Now, you must walk a certain distance (the number of kilometres shown beneath the egg) to make the egg hatch.
You must have the app open as you do this. And, no, you can’t just cheat and ride a bus. Oh, and you can do it in multiple journeys or even across multiple days.
How far do I actually have to walk?Two kilometres is just over a mile and it will take about half an hour to walk that far.
Five kilometres is about three miles and will take roughly 45 minutes. And 10km is roughly six miles and should take you about two hours.
What sort of Pokemon will I get?Simply put, the eggs that force you to walk further distances contain much rarer Pokemon. Here’s a complete run-down:
