Hatching Eggs :: Gold, Silver and Crystal Breeding

The amount of time it takes for an egg to hatch depends on the type Pokémon it will be. For example, it'll take longer for a Chansey to hatch than a Magikarp. There is no other deciding factor. None. Apart from Pokémon who cannot breed, there are 8 different "groups" of Pokémon- these groups are decided by how long they take to hatch. Here are the number of steps to hatch an egg for each Pokémon:

Number of Steps	Pokémon
1280	Magikarp
2560	Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi
3840	Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Zubat, Geodude, Sentret, Hoot-hoot, Ledyba, Spinarak
5120	Any other Pokémon that isn't listed in this table!
6400	Onix, Mr.Mime, Scyther, Pinsir, Misdreavus, Heracross, Mantine, Skarmory, Tyrouge, Smoochum, Magby, Elekid
7680	Omanyte, Kabuto
8960	Eevee, Aerodactyl
10240	Chansey, Lapras, Snorlax, Dratini, Larvitar

If you are a lazy Game Shark owner, you can cheat this somewhat potentially lengthly task, then simply stick in the code 017FBDD9 and any eggs in your party hatch after a couple of steps.

Another tried and tested hatching method among the boffins of the Pokémon world (who quite honestly sometimes have too much time on their hands), have discovered that if you find some stairs in a building and keep going up you'll keep on walking forever- you could hatch eggs "quickly" without a Game Shark by using an elastic band to hold down the up button whilst you do something else- such as read Pokémon UK.
