– **Purchase Eggs with PokéCoins**: You can buy Eggs with PokéCoins in the in-game store.
– **Use Lucky Eggs**: When you use a Lucky Egg, you’ll receive multiple Eggs to hatch simultaneously.
### How do I tell the size of an Egg in Pokémon Go?

### Can I hatch Eggs while running or using public transport?
No, you need to walk or cycle to hatch Eggs in Pokémon Go. However, you can still hatch Eggs while on public transport if you’re in the Egg’s designated area.
### What Pokémon can I get from Eggs in Pokémon Go?
Eggs can contain a variety of Pokémon, from common to rare species. The exact Pokémon you’ll get from an Egg depends on the Egg’s size and the area you’re in.
### How do I know which Pokémon are in an Egg?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know which Pokémon are in an Egg before you hatch it. This adds to the excitement and surprise of catching Pokémon!
### Can I hatch multiple Eggs at once?
Yes, you can hatch multiple Eggs at once if you have multiple Eggs and a Lucky Egg. This can significantly speed up the hatching process.
### What should I do if an Egg won’t hatch?
If an Egg won’t hatch, make sure you’ve walked the required distance. Sometimes, Eggs can be glitched or take longer to hatch than expected. If the problem persists, try restarting the Pokémon Go app or restarting your device.
### Can I keep Eggs that have already hatched?
Once an Egg has hatched, you can keep the Pokémon inside, but you won’t be able to use the Egg again. However, you can always catch more Eggs to add to your collection.
