"'''Bad EGGs'''" (Japanese: ダメタマゴ), as they are known in the [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] Pokémon games and later "'''Bad Egg'''" in the [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]] games are error handlers.
==In Generation III==
In Generation III, they appear for Pokémon that do not have a correct checksum value (which is stored in its own byte). The checksum is computed by adding all unencrypted values of the 'data' section of the [[bp:Pokémon data structure in Generation III|Pokémon data structure]] one [[word]] (two bytes) at a time. If the actual checksum does not match the checksum value, the Pokémon will be interpreted as a Bad EGG, and if a hex:0000 [[??????????]] was interpreted as a Bad EGG, it will appear as a Bad EGG with an invisible icon.
Simply changing the personality value of a Pokémon rather than its [[bp:Pokémon data substructures in Generation III|data]] substructures can also turn Pokémon into Bad EGGs, probably due to the substructure order being changed due to a different modulo value. For this reason, it is possible to obtain Bad EGGs without cheating in Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen using the [[Pomeg data corruption glitch]].
Like ordinary eggs, Bad Eggs under normal circumstances can never be released and when the player attempts to view one's summary screen the game will not give the details of the Pokémon (if it was not an egg) but rather, the game would display another interface which suggests how long it would be until the egg hatches.▼
▲Like ordinary
Regardless of what the trainer memo says, a Bad EGG will never hatch; only a normal Egg can hatch. {{fact}}
A Bad Egg may also be seen during {{RS}}'s version of the [[switch glitch (Generation III)|switch glitch]] or be caught with the [[roaming Pokémon encounter glitch]].
Though the validity of this happening without cheats is unknown, there is also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqbG7YitDhw a report of another Bad Egg glitch in FireRed/LeafGreen].

==In non handheld Pokémon games==
Bad Eggs appear in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
Unless the player turns the narrations off the game will lockup when a Bad Egg is sent into battle, probably because there is no voice file for announcing the Bad Egg's name.{{fact}}
Reportedly, if a Pokémon with an EV total greater than 510 is uploaded on to Pokémon Battle Revolution, the game will regard that Pokémon as a Bad Egg.{{fact}}
==In Generation IV==
===As a Pokémon species===
Unlike in the third generation of Pokémon games,

A [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{DP}} with an [[identifier|index number]] of 495 (hex:1EF), known as "Bad Egg".
"Bad Egg" is also mentioned in the [[trapping Ability flee glitch]] in {{Platinum}} if the player attempts to flee when the right side wild Pokémon has fainted (requires a Steel-type Pokémon on the user's side for Magnet Pull to prevent fleeing).

==In Generation V==
Bad Eggs can be found in [[bp:Generation V|Generation V]].
==In Generation VI==
[[File:Bad Egg XY.png|thumb|right|250px|A 'Bad Egg' in an online battle]]
Bad Eggs apparently exist in {{XY}} ([https://twitter.com/CentroPokemon/status/499032246964060160 source]).
They are not to be confused with '[[Mystery Egg glitch|mystery Eggs]]' (they are not actually called this, they are just referred to as Eggs). Mystery Eggs marked as originating from the Mystery Zone have appeared in the PC boxes of some players of Pokémon X and Y. They also have an obtained date of '0/0/2000'.
▲Unlike in the third generation of Pokémon games, for unknown reasons Bad Eggs actually have their own defined identifier of 495 (1EF) in the species byte. Such a 'Pokémon' if encountered in the wild by has Splash as its only move but it has no defined data for its cry, hence it uses the cry of a Bulbasaur (the first valid Pokémon in the species byte).
