Are there Eggs or Breeding in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Eggs have been a focal point of the Pokémon series over the years (who can forget Nurse Joy?), but there’s bad news if you’re trying to do the same in Pokémon Legends ZA.

Having started the game, you might be wondering if you can hatch new monsters from eggs. This is an excellent way to power up your party with new members. But unfortunately for those prospective Pokémon breeders, I’m afraid that Gamefreak hasn’t added one of the core features that could have made our lives easier.

Does Pokémon Legends ZA have eggs

Eggs don’t exist in any shape or form in Pokémon Legends ZA. If you’ve been trying to find them just like me, I am afraid you won’t find any. This will be a significant contrast for those who have spent hours trying to breed the perfect Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet.

While Scarlet and Violet aren’t the best titles if you consider the fun from breeding new monsters, they at least offered the feature. The developers seem to have opted for a different path with ZA. This automatically means there’s no breeding system at launch.

Can you breed in Pokémon Legends ZA?

Due to the lack of any eggs, you can’t breed directly in the game. However, you can breed your desired Pokémon in the games like Scarlet and Violet and then use it in ZA. This is quite possible, but you should keep certain pointers.

• All transfers will have to happen via Pokémon Home.
• Any monster, once transferred to ZA, can’t be transferred back to any other titles of the mainline series.

If you still want to mix-max your squad and get an advantage in battles, your only option is to boot up an older game with breeding, and then transfer your creation with Pokémon Home.
