It takes so long to hatch an egg in your Pokémon Diamond/Pearl game! What do you do? Go to wikiHow, of course!

Steps

  1. 1
    Go to the Day Care (In Solaceon Town) and select an egg if the Day-Care Man has any. If not, get one out of your PC.
  2. 2
    Grab a Pokémon that has the ability "Flame Body" or "Magma Armor".

  • Question
    Will any Pokemon with Flame Body on my team work? Also, will it be a Torchic or just whatever I breed?

    Any Pokemon with Flame Body will work, as long as it's the lead Pokemon in your party. What hatches does indeed depend on what you breed.
  • Question
    Why can't I trade on Pokemon Pearl anymore?

    The Nintendo WiFi shut down. Sorry, but no gen 5 and under games can trade wirelessly anymore.
