Improve the Lab on mobile

I'm a big fan of the Lab changes that were put in recently, having more slots especially is exciting. My only complaint is that having 8 slots in the Lab with the current layout adds a lot of scrolling to get to the refresh button, located underneath the Lab slots on mobile.

For me, it takes about 4 standard scrolling finger motions to get to the refresh button. Obviously, this is not a terrible issue, 4 motions is not that hard. But I think it could be improved. I have a few potential suggestions for changes that could help.
  1. Add another Refresh button at the top of the page, only on mobile. Pro: No swiping motions needed to refresh. Con: Having 2 buttons that do the same thing and something that appears only on mobile might be bad UI standards.
  2. Decrease the size of the boxes so that two can appear on the same line on mobile. Pro: Less scrolling needed, more eggs visible at once. Con: May be too cramped, especially for smaller phones.
  3. Add a compact mode for the Lab, which would hide the text and potentially make the boxes smaller. Pro: Less scrolling, and doesn't require a significant UI change. Con: Hides the text, though to be honest I don't think the text has any use unless you haven't discovered the egg yet. This mode could potentially only hide the descriptions of eggs you've already discovered
I'm open to other suggestions as well of course, if you have another idea that you think could help this feel free to post it.

I may be able to make the descriptions into tooltips on the eggs rather than always be shown, at least as an option for mobile... I'll look into it.

Thanks, I think that would be great! The egg descriptions are cool, but very much unnecessary once you have the Pokedex filled out and already know what Pokemon the eggs are.

I'm glad someone has suggested this because I thought I was just being picky about the increased scrolling. Also happy that Niet responded too. Looking forward to a more compact option.

This is absolutely perfect. All eggs fit on one screen for me and it's super easy to get to the reload button. Thanks so much for such a quick and effective change!
