Since the baby Pokémon from eggs have been introduced in Pokémon GO, it seems that the numbers of Pikachu and Magmar from eggs have decreased.
On December 12, 2016, Niantic announced that there are new Pokémon in the game. The baby Pokémon Pichu, Togepi, Magby, Elekid, Swablu, Cleffa, and Igglybuff can hatch from different types of eggs in the game. Since this announcement, the catch numbers of Pikachu or Electabuzz have however decreased. Can the evolutions of the baby monsters still hatch from eggs in Pokémon GO, or have they been replaced by the babies?
Evolutions from eggs have become rare
Some trainers from TheSilphRoad have taken a closer look at this phenomenon. Since the introduction of the new Pokémon on December 12, there have been few reports from players claiming to have received evolutions of baby Pokémon from eggs. However, the results from TheSilphRoad tell a different story.
From 1621 collected eggs, not a single evolution of a baby Pokémon (Jigglypuff, Magmar, Electabuzz, etc.) hatched after December 12. Although one trainer hatched a Pikachu, this trainer is not quite sure if it might have been an egg from an earlier period.
If one trusts this data, there are currently no evolutions of baby Pokémon in the eggs.
Additionally, there are changes regarding region-dependent Pokémon.
No more region Pokémon from eggs?
During the test in which they were on the lookout for evolutions of baby Pokémon, the testers noticed four other Pokémon that are missing. The region-dependent monsters that normally hatch from the specific regions’ eggs were not found in this test. These are Tauros, Mr. Mime, Farfetch’d, and Kangaskhan.
There has been no official confirmation from the developers that this report is true. During the test, the trainers from TheSilphRoad found plenty of other Pokémon, but no region Pokémon. Reports that these Pokémon hatched from eggs have significantly decreased since the end of summer.
Because region-dependent Pokémon often occur in their respective regions, they were often a disappointment when they hatched from the egg. Maybe that was a reason for this possible change.
Keep in mind that this is a test from trainers and not official reports from the developers. When was the last time you got your Mr. Mime from an egg?
