Are players really able to see into eggs before they hatch?
A Pokémon Go player on Reddit has discovered a glitch that allows the player to “see” inside their eggs before they have hatched. Pokémon that hatch from eggs in Pokémon Go are usually a mystery and are picked from a pool based on the distance the player has to walk to hatch it, a mechanic implemented by Niantic to encourage players to walk and explore. However, instead of just viewing the egg itself in the ‘Eggs’ screen, a glitch causes the model of a Pokémon to appear in the same spot.
Pokemon Go eggs have been under criticism from the community for quite some time, due to the randomness of what the player will receive. Players will often complaining about spending real-world currency on incubators, only to hatch something they deem useless. Niantic recently introduced more transparency to eggs (albeit not literally, unlike this glitch), by implementing a way to see what Pokémon could potentially hatch from the selected egg, with a tier system based on rarity.
