How to Hatch Eggs Faster

Breeding a Pokémon with a good nature for competitive battling, breeding lots of starter Pokémon to make it into the Wonder Trading, or opening up the IV Judge in the Battle Tree requires a lot of time for egg hatching process.

But, there's a way to speed up the egg hatching process. Just look for a Pokémon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body ability. Magby or a Magmar in Wela Volcano Park are recommended or evolved Fetchlings into Fletchinder. Having either of this two Pokémon at the party will split the cycles needed to hatch an egg.

According to IGN, Tauros Charge ride Pokémon could also be used to hatch an egg quickly, just utilize the ride Pokémon's charge ability.

Maximize Chances of Breeding Shiny Pokémon

These elusive off-color critters are sometimes hard to get. However, Junichi Masuda, the director of Game Freak, has created an easier way to breed shiny Pokémon provided a player has Pokémon from two different localizations of the game.

The result of shiny Pokémon will be about 1/683 if the player has two Pokémon from different regions since the game is programmed. It is also similar if the player reaches a chain of 70 in SOS Battles while using the Shiny Charm, this is called "international marriage" or the Masuda method.

The Masuda method is a fan-coined term that describes a way to win Shiny Pokémon more easily from Generation IV onwards. It is named after Junichi Masuda because he documented the method on his blog saying that "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier."

Get More Money by Finding the Amulet Coin

Amulet Coin is located in a red truck in the Paniola Ranch next to the Pokémon Nursery. It multiplies the number of money that trainers get from the battles, provided that the Pokémon holding it joins the battle.

Mystery Gift Munchlax can also be used for an extra boost and to double the prize earnings for a net multiplier of four times. IGN suggests that using this against Madam and Gentlemen-type trainers will result in 12,000 Pokédollars per fight.

The new SOS Battle Mechanic is Your Friend

Pokémon's EV growth can be supercharged by utilizing the newly introduced SOS Battle system. Bulbapedia reported that when the trainer enables a Pokémon to summon more allies in battle, they will have a chance of calling in Pokémon with perfect IVs and hidden abilities. When the trainer has a chain of 70, the possibility of finding a shiny Pokémon will increase as well.

SOS Pokémon can be maximized using an Adrenaline Orb in battle. Players can purchase it from any PokéMart for 300 Pokémon Dollars.
