Raid Egg FAQ

How do I know that an Egg appeared nearby?

We have data mined the network messages before, you should get a Push Notification saying “A nearby raid is soon starting”, or something along those lines. The exact wording will probably change before Raids get released.

The Egg Timer lasts around 30 minutes, meaning you have roughly the same time to witness the raid start. After the Egg hatches, you have one hour to defeat the Boss. You can enter multiple attempts, but each lasts 5 minutes.

What Pokemon hatch from the Legendary Egg?

Rattata and Pidgey. Jokes aside, Legendary Pokemon, but it’s unclear if it will include the Mew family.

Does the Egg have any special mechanics?

No, not really, the only mechanic is hatching it. After the has hatched, a Pokemon Boss is revealed and you can start the Raid encounter. Remember that starting the Raid consumes your Raid Pass (Free or Premium).
