Learn how to make your Pokémon eggs hatch in Pokémon Platinum in half the usual number of steps. This guide provides the essential tips for speedy egg hatching.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pokémon egg from the Day Care Man or Day Care Woman.
  2. 2
    Ensure the Pokémon in your party have an ability that affects egg hatching, such as Magma Armor or Flame Body. Having two Pokémon with these abilities in your party will not stack the effect.
  3. 3
    Walk around in the game world to accumulate steps. The required number of steps will be halved if a Pokémon with Magma Armor or Flame Body is in your party.
  4. 4
    Once the required steps are met, the egg will hatch into a Pokémon.
Tips
  • The following Pokémon have the Magma Armor or Flame Body ability: Magmar, Magmortar, Slugma, Macargo, Talonflame, Fletchinder, Larvesta, Volcarona, Coalossal, Carkol, and Rolycoly.
  • Having a Pokémon with one of these abilities in your party is the most effective way to speed up egg hatching.
  • There are no other in-game items or mechanics that directly reduce egg hatching steps in Pokémon Platinum.
