---|---|
Location | Free gift from Professor Birch after you see (not catch) all of the Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. |
In-game Description | An oval charm said to increase the chance of Pokémon Eggs being found at the Day Care. |
You will obtain the Oval Charm from Professor Birch after you see all 210 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex (you do not need to register Jirachi). This means you’ll only be able to obtain the Oval Charm in the later part of the game.
Location
After registering all 210 Pokémon in the Hoenn Dex, fly over to Littleroot Town.
Step 1: After landing in Littleroot, head down towards Birch’s lab.
Step 2: Turn left and enter Professor Birch’s lab.
Step 3: Inside the lab, walk up and talk to the Professor.
Step 4: Select the “Hoenn Pokédex” option.
Step 5: Professor Birch will then confirm that you have seen all Pokémon in the Hoenn Dex.
Step 6: After the confirmation, you will receive the Oval Charm as a reward.
Using the Oval Charm
The Oval Charm will increase your chance of finding an Egg in the Day Care.
In Pokémon ORAS, breeding cycles reset every 257 steps. Your chances of finding an Egg after 257 steps will be determined by two different factors:
- The Pokémon’s species. Two Pokémon of the same species will breed faster compared to two Pokémon of different species.
- The Pokémon’s Original Trainer (OT). Two Pokémon with different Ots will breed faster than two Pokémon from the same trainer.
