Reddit user dadstachecashstash revealed that they accidentally hatched a 2016 egg and got a disappointing outcome. While players hoped the Redditor would get something rare or a shiny Pokemon, the result of the seven-year-old egg was a Tentacool. It’s not uncommon forPokemon GOplayers to save eggsto use in events where it’s possible to hatch a specific Pokemon. This was not the idea of the player, who returned toPokemon GOthis year and intended to save the egg as “a subtle way to flex something unique” in their account. ThePokemon GOplayer says they resisted not hatching the egg during this year’s Riolu Hatch Day but was careless.
On dadstachecashstash’s post, otherPokemon GOplayers lamented the incident, and some comments shared similar stories. One Redditor recalled having saved a gift acquired on a trip to send to a specific friend but sent the gift to someone else by mistake. Another player revealed that they transferred theirCharmander catched inPokemon GOon day 1 to the professor. A third comment said they once hatched a 2016 egg and got a Zubat without a health indicator, the same case as the player’s Tentacool. Players noted that the missing data may be due to the stats rework thatPokemon GOdid in 2018.
