does anyone here use the egg glitch when doing breeding projects cus i totally forgot about it when i was breeding. save time when ppl ask for specific nature on the pokemon the want e.g. your look for a jolly growlithe with 31 atk and speed IVs but all you keep getting is impish and modest ones -.- ( happened to me about 100 times with different pokemon).

The egg glitch

I dunno how to do it. At the moment im breeding a togekiss, which hatches after like 1000 steps with a camerupt in my party anyways so its hardly a hassle.
maybe i should explain what the egg glitch does, it can tell you the nature and abillity the pokemon in the egg will have so if your aiming for a calm togekiss and keep getting togepi's with hustle the its really useful also stops you having a box full of hardy chanseys with serene grace -.-
This video shows how to do it I believe.

Commentary is entertaining as well I guess.

Saw the video but the part I don't understand is how to switch back and forth between other pokemon in next box and the egg.
Press L or R.
It is a useful glitch but it just leaves your box full of eggs which you would have to hatch anyway to release them.
im not sure if some people are taking the piss here, some great breeders don't know this?
Thanks as I got it to work once I set my button option to NORMAL. I can at least save the game before determining whether or not to accept the egg as it seems already determined as the one I got was BASHFUL nature 3 times in a row.
This trick is quite useless. Sure, you can see what's in the egg before it hatches, but what advantage does that give you? You have to hatch all the eggs regardless if you don't want them in your box forever, so who cares if you get to see whats in them slightly earlier than normal?
Edit: It's useless for Mass Hatch, but I guess not so much for SR, because you can save, check the egg, refuse it if it's not what you want, then repeat.

Of course I'd rather have it so the only eggs I'll hatch are for example modest/timid/bold/calm togepis with serene grace or modest/timid porygons with trace or modest/timid staryu with natural cure as it's often such a heartbreaking waste of time to hatch a batch of 5 at a time and all have undesired nature/ability combinations.
As I've mentioned above. Say you need a female Eevee parent of a certain nature with double or triple perfect IVs so you can have a better chance of breeding the perfect pokemon. The likelyhood of you getting such an Eevee through mass breeding is low.. with this trick you can save infront of the old man, get the egg then check for gender/nature after hatching it.
Once you get a female with the nature you want. You can just reset to lock its nature/ivs. Unlike mass breeding, you will have a much higher change of getting what you want. =)
why
that's time you could spend not riding your bike up and down solaceon and subsequently releasing a hatched pokemon

despite EV training, i've got nothing else better to do.
This trick is extremely helpful to me, since I constantly have to suffer the Japanese/English Everstone thingy. What I do is save before the old man, take the egg, check the nature, and if it's good, I just start hatching it. If it's bad, reset, tell the old man to keep the egg, and wait for another one
I find it easier to put a pokemon directly above the egg, and then deleting it, though (timing required)
