According to Professor Elm, as quoted by a man in Hearthome City, and a Monsieur in Coumarine City, Eggs are not actually eggs and are more like "cradles". According to a girl in Solaceon Town, where one of many Pokémon Day Cares are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an Egg, and thus, it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. Pokémon Eggs are produced by breeding two Pokémon of a compatible Egg Group and opposite gender together and will contain, by default, the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. In some non-game appearances, an Egg's shell will have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon inside.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining PearlĪ Pokémon Egg (Japanese: ポケモンのタマゴ Pokémon Egg) is an object from which most Pokémon are known to hatch.
