Egg Incubators are items used to hatch Pokémon Eggs. In order to hatch an egg, a Trainer must place an Egg in an Incubator.
There are four types of Incubators:
- , an unlimited one which is orange in appearance and has infinite uses
- , a limited one which is blue in appearance and has three uses
- , which is purple in appearance and has three uses but hatches an Egg much faster
- , an additional unlimited one which is green in appearance but expires on a given date
To see currently owned Incubators there are two ways:
- The first one is to check it out on the item bag page
- and the second is to tap the Incubators Button on the page with owned eggs.
