Catch a Monster Egg Hatching Times & How to Hatch Faster

One of the biggest complaints from the community is the 90-minute egg hatching time. Here's everything you need to know about eggs and how to optimize your hatching strategy.

Current Egg Hatching Times

Standard Eggs

• All Eggs: 1 hour 30 minutes (90 minutes)
• Default Incubators: 3 slots
• No skip option (as of December 2025)

The Math Problem

With 3 incubators and 90-minute hatching:

• 3 eggs = 90 minutes
• 50 eggs = 25+ hours of continuous hatching
• 100 eggs = 50+ hours

This is the #1 complaint from the community.

Community Feedback on Hatching Times

What Players Are Saying:

• "90 minutes is crazy for 3 Rank E monsters" - Common sentiment
• "PvB lets you speed up with watering can, max is 40 minutes" - Comparison
• "Please reduce to 30-45 minutes" - 34+ votes on Discord

How to Maximize Hatching Efficiency

1. Keep All Incubators Running 24/7

• Start hatching before going AFK
• Use all 3 slots simultaneously
• Set alarms to check back

2. Prioritize Event Eggs

• Boss Eggs (Glazadon, Mountusk, etc.) - Always hatch first
• Event Eggs (limited-time) - High priority
• Standard Island Eggs - Low priority

3. Time Management

Best Times to Start Hatching:

• Before bed (wake up to hatched eggs)
• Before school/work
• During long gaming sessions

Hatching Tips & Tricks

Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Instead of hatching 100+ eggs:

1. Hatch 10-15 eggs from one boss
2. Fuse the best results
3. Move on to next boss

Don't Hoard Eggs

Hoarding 50+ eggs creates a bottleneck:

• You'll be hatching for days
• Inventory fills up
• Miss out on new content

Use Hatching for AFK Time

Perfect activities while eggs hatch:

• Sleep
• Work/School
• Other games
• Real-world activities

• Unclear if Luck affects hatching or only catching

Recommendation: Wait for official confirmation before buying Luck for eggs.
