Choose the egg. Plan the escape.
Understand egg collection and prepare for rarer targets with a route you can finish.
An egg target needs an approach and a return
Eggs start the fish-collection cycle, but finding an attractive target is only part of a useful run. Compare its visible access requirement, your return path, and the completed hatch. A target that you repeatedly fail to deposit can be a scouting project while a smaller route remains your reliable baseline.
Compare targets with your own observations
| Target | Question | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Can I identify it? | Does the current game show a readable egg label? | Copy the exact name and observation date; color alone does not establish identity. |
| Can I reach it? | Is an access requirement displayed, and is the path familiar? | Record the explicit requirement and where a route test stopped. |
| Can I finish? | Do pickup, return, tank acceptance, and hatch all succeed? | Include failed attempts when comparing the full collection cycle. |
| Does it serve my goal? | Am I seeking earning progress or a distinct collectible? | Inspect the fish result and traits before calling the target an improvement. |
Use the two egg guides together
The collection guide explains what to record for an egg. The rare-target guide helps decide when to turn a harder route into a repeatable attempt. Neither supplies a guaranteed spawn schedule or a hatch-probability table. A dated outcome can guide your next run without becoming a universal rule.
