What we have now:
If you click on the right grass spot and have a full party you fail to obtain the egg due to your full party.

What could be changed:
You still "fail" to obtain the egg immediately similar to Daycare but the egg is "on hold". So you can go to your party make a free spot go back to the tall grass and obtain the egg. Of course in the meanwhile you can't search for new eggs.
Time to get your egg: 5 minutes
Also the egg is considered "already taken" and won't show up in the list you search for your Pkmn you want to search.
(Coding-wise it's like you adopted the egg but if you can't make it in time it goes back to the Tall Grass like the eggs from Daycare.)

Why it should be changed:
For higher rarities it's difficult enough to even obtain an egg. Why do a user have to suffer if he forgot that his party is full? After Wondertrades it's even more likelier to forget about this.

Why it shouldn't be implemented:
I don't know. It shouldn't be too complicated to code this and I think the way it is now is more like a punishment for the forgetful people.

Variants:
No time was mentioned for how long an egg could be on hold. It could be "as long as you want" or 24 hours. I'd prefer latter since it's similar to Daycare. But it could also be just a few minutes so you really have to clear a spot on your party and adopt immediately.

I think it would be best to have it only holding an egg for a few minutes. The Tall Grass is linked to everyone and eggs can be taken by other people when you are even just searching for them. How would holding them work in relation to other people taking eggs? That's why I think it'd be better to only have it hold them for a few minutes.

If an egg was being held, would it still show up in the tall grass as available? Or would it be considered "already taken" and not show up on the list?

I forgot that!
Yes in that case a few minutes (5?) should be better. And for that time it's "already taken".

I support this

I can't tell you how many times an auction or someone else accepting an offer on their trade has messed me up with obtaining an egg from the tall grass.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was an easy rarity, but this usually happens on the hard rarity searches >.<

Plus, when doing the legendary search, it's really annoying to stash an egg/pokemon, JUST to search. Being able to not lose the egg if you forget one time would be lovely.

No support.

It has the potential to be helpful, but what about those citing slow internet speeds or the like? Five minutes can mean a lot to someone who has an internet that lags often.

If anything, it's probably safer to simply remove an egg/Pokemon from your party before heading to the Tall Grass and making that a regular habit. -- Though this would not solve the auction-won Pokémon, other than to check and see if your auction would be won soon-ish or not.

Well if 5 minutes is too short what about 10 or 15?
I think it's really troublesome to MUST have that "regular habit".

I don't use tall grass much but I like the idea as eggs of legends are almost impossible to get from tall grass and when u get and don't have space in party

Added to it harvest sprites eggs also must be on hold last time I had to copy the link empty the party and then get the egg

@Prathampc, it sounds like you've come up with your own solution for the one-time obtainment of your Harvest Sprite though? You can only get each harvest sprite once (which makes a question why they have a missing shiny entry in one's pokedex search...), so that's one band-aid solution.
