User blog:3krok/Pokémon XY Mystery Eggs

As some XY players may know, strange eggs have been passed around Wonder Trade. I may as well make a blog explaining them as now is as good as any time.

"These eggs are bad eggs."
They are not. In the game, they are simply labelled as "Egg", and not "Bag EGG.", a major difference between Bad EGG and these eggs is the fact that the new ones seem close to hatching, whilst Bad EGG does not at all. Bad EGG can be placed into your party, the new egg cannot.

"These eggs are deliberate."
STOP. This egg glitch is not deliberate, the eggs are not sent over Wonder Trade by the other trader's intention. Eggs can't be traded besides friend to friend and thus cannot be placed on the GTS or Wonder Trade.

"These eggs are the result of hacking."
These eggs are not the result of hacking a traded Pokémon, these eggs are in fact the result of an error handler carried out through Wonder Trade on extremely rare occasions.

"Power off during the trade upon noticing the egg."
You won't notice it though, these trades go through perfectly naturally as if the egg weren't there.

"Because of these eggs, you should not Wonder Trade."
Don't even. This error handler, as I said, is EXTREMELY uncommon, quite possibly rarer than shining Pokemon, only five XY players have reported being victims of. As a matter of fact, Wonder Trade is not what causes these eggs at all.

Do not touch the Mystery Egg.
That means no checking moves, stats, anything. It may have an item attached, do not attempt to retrieve the item.

Quarantine your box.
The box that contains the egg must be quarantined, remove all Pokemon from this box.

Do not attempt to hatch Mystery Egg.
Golden rule: Don't. This can break your game ENTIRELY as it will hatch into --- quite possibly, --- is a game breaking glitch, avoid it at all costs.

Don't lose your head
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y do not have auto save features, bear in mind this means you can power off if you find out you have a Mystery Egg.

Conclusion

 * Going to repost this here and hopefully put people’s minds at ease; THE BAD EGGS ARE NOT A RESULT OF PEOPLE HACKING THEIR GAMES AND SENDING HACKED POKEMON OVER THE GTS/WONDER TRADE
 * THEY ARE ERROR HANDLERS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO A FEW INDIVIDUALS SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE GAMES-ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS PHENOMENA
 * MYSTERY EGGS CANNOT BE TRADED AND THUS THEY CANNOT APPEAR IN THE GTS OR WONDER TRADE
