Pokemon GO: How to Get Strange Eggs (Red Eggs/ Team Rocket Eggs)

Eggs have been an important part of Pokemon GO since the game launched in the Summer of 2016. Since then, we’ve only seen one new type of egg come to the game until now. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get Strange Eggs (Red Eggs/Team Rocket Eggs) in Pokemon GO.

How to Get Strange Eggs (Red Eggs/ Team Rocket Eggs) in Pokemon GO

Before we get into obtaining the eggs, let’s get a handle on what Strange Eggs are. Only Dark- and Poison-type Pokemon — or ones who gain one of those types through evolution — can hatch from Strange Eggs. On top of that, they take longer to hatch than any previous type of egg at 12 km.

Strange Egg Hatch List

Currently, there are eight different species of Pokemon that can be hatched from these new eggs. Check out the full list below:

• Pawniard (Dark/Steel)
• Vullaby (Dark/Flying)
• Trubbish (Poison)
• Scraggy (Dark/Fighting)
• Larvitar* (Rock/Ground)
• Deino* (Dark/Dragon)
• Sandile (Ground/Dark)
• Absol* (Dark)

How to Get

First, you’ll need to have a Rocket Radar so you can encounter GO Rocket Leaders at Pokestops or in hot air balloons. Then, you need to defeat one of these Leaders and you’ll get a Strange Egg. Pop it into one of your incubators and walk for 12 km to hatch your Pokemon.
