Hatching is a staple of the Pokemon series, but it can definitely be a chore. In this guide, we are going to show you the fastest way to hatch Pokémon Sword and Shield eggs.
The Fastest Way to Chop Eggs in Pokemon Sword and Shield
To speed up the egg hatching process, you'll need a Pokémon with the Flame Body ability. Now head to the daycare in the wilderness area and make sure your camera settings are regular. To do this, hold down X, go to options, and then scroll down. The vertical and horizontal camera controls will need to be set to regular.
It's a little hard to explain, but the video above will give you a demonstration of what you need to do. Hold the left and right levers to the left to make your character move in a circle. This will allow your character to do a lot of steps, which, combined with the Body of Flame ability, will increase the egg's brood speed. This method should allow you to hatch up to five eggs in ten minutes.
If you don't want to sit there and hold the controller the entire time, you can use rubber bands to hold the gamepads in place. This is a handy technique to use if you are trying to get Shiny Pokemon using the Masuda Method for breeding eggs.
