Break Chain
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Break ChainBug eggs are easy to hatch and users don't adopt them very often so it's easy to snatch them. If you hatch it, you get a few exp and you can just release the Pokèmon if you don't want it. You are also breaking your chain at the same time so it's a win without a loss.
Woops, on second read.
Adding to my point—
If you accidently chain a Pokèmon or want to give up a hunt, then take it as a lesson to be careful or take it as a lesson of virtue. I once hunted Nightmare Munnas and I gave up not even halfway of reaching maximum chance and honestly? It's my fault for not being patient. If I want to break the chain, I should just break it and pay the batteries. It just seems unfair and unbalanced if we can keep our battery. Plus, we already can do that— be a premium if you don't want to use currencies/gems for batteries.
Loophole, I accidently adopted an egg from the lab and not wanting to break my chain and keep my batteries, ended it at the spot. This feature may seem useful but it's just unbalanced in my opinion. Getting shinies are hard work, just do it diligently.
