"'''Bad EGGs'''", 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.
"'''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, 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.
