Hatch Eggs Faster

Hints

In Pokemon Shining pearl, there are methods to help you hatch eggs faster. The first method you can use is to have Pokemon with you that have Magma Armor or Flame Body abilities. This should help your eggs hatch 50% faster.

You can also improve hatch time if you try hatching eggs on certain days of the year. Eggs hatch 10% faster on days such as the 12th of January or the 14th of February. You can change the date by disconnecting your device from the internet and changing your calendar date. 

Shine Increase

Hints

You can increase your pokemon's shine by breeding them with pokemon from other areas in the world. If you bread a Pikachu from the U.S with a Ditto from Japan, its offspring will have more shine.

Manaphy Egg

Hints

You can also get the Manaphy A just after you beat your first gym leader. To do this, head over to the TV station and go to the third floor. Talk to the TV producer. He will ask you a question that you need to answer correctly.

The answer will be in full caps. He will then give you a mystery gift. Open the gift and select receive through the internet. When you open it, there will be two gifts. The one gift will be A Manaohy egg.

Here is a guide to getting the Manaphy egg early in the game.
