Well,i know this is kinda stupid but what do you think if we can trade eggs with other user
I think this will be usefull for user that is doing shiny hunts they can trade for the eggs they need for their hunt
Example:milotic15(not real username)is doing a feebas hunt,while zuubatfan are hunting buneary they can trade the eggs for the eggs they need for the shiny hunts so what do you think
I understand if you think is a stupid suggestion

I don't support. How do you know that the other person is trading the right egg? Will it tell you what's within the egg during the trade? If so, then can't this get abused to find out what eggs are before hatching them, letting users store ones they want to wait on hatching until later?

Also, what's to prevent users from trading another user the wrong egg in a "funny" troll that breaks their long chain on the radar, forcing them to start all over?

All in all, I see a lot of downfalls to this suggestion with the only up side being for shiny hunters.

But what if someone trade you an Egg that isn't the egg you're looking for? I may support if that's solved xD, but for the moment, no support

i have a suggestion for this idea.

say like in a reular trade you know when people have an item with the pokemon and a little icon with the name of the item shows up? well why not have the same thing for the egg trade EXCEPT when u move the mouse onto the egg it says what species of pokemon it is to PREVENT troll trades and ect...



I can't march on because i'm already far too broken...

I thought this was a good idea, but Navuso makes a very critical point. This could have a lot of downsides. Unless those are fixed somehow, no support.

No support.
As Navuso said:
If you do show the species, people can abuse this to see what is in the Egg.
If you don't, people can send people Eggs saying they contain one thing when they actually contain another, and thereby break their Chains.
There are two problems, and you can only solve one or the other.

No support.
The others have already stated the reasons. There are ways to make this happen but there will still be problems.
