Doom Seed consideration.

I've seen it happen: people hatch a variant (shiny/albino/melan) while they have PokeRUs. As a result, they do not have the time to lock it at 0EXP/Level 1. I suggest a setting in the drop-down menu in Eggs that would simply lock said egg as soon as it hatched, so if a variant was hatched, it would be instantaneously locked. Good Points- Less PKRS stress about hatching variants. Negative Points- People forgetting to take it off.

Actually, I support this. I've hatched a few shinies while collecting ice gems, and I clicked some eggs right after hatching the shinies, but I didn't expect them, since I only had the Pokeradar +, and ended up with 2/10 exp or so already, and since I plan on selling them, this could really be helpful, to myself and others.

Honestly, in my personal opinion, if you don't want the shiny/albino/melan to be leveled for whatever reason, don't hatch eggs when you have rus. Which is actually something some people actually don't do. I've seen a few users not hatch eggs during rus when on a hunt to avoid such "problems". There is literally no problem with them being a few levels, so I'll never understand the huge fuss some people make over it. So no support from me.

True, I don't find it a big deal either, but I plan on selling them, and some people really care about it for some reason.

I'd love this ability. Some people like buying shinies with 0 exp, I guess because it's like getting something brand new, and the rus can put a damper on that. Completely disagree with not hatching eggs during the rus, though. That's the whole reason I chase it, so I can hatch a lot of eggs during a short time. Aside from leveling Pokémon to evolve, what else would I want it for? Interaction Points? I have over 6.5 mil IP. I want to hatch a bunch of eggs and maximize that aspect. Not everyone is super picky about leveled shinies, though. Most users I've traded with are fine as long as they're still at a low level. But it would still be nice to have this ability. I support.

As for the "Not Hacthing" topic, I mean what if you hatch said shiny as soon as you get PKRS? Or, if your party is done and then you get PKRS. Then what? Plus, I just really like seing Level 1 0 EXP pokemon, idk why. Thanks for your support! I've also heard of there being a way to Lock Eggs on PF1, but that wouldn't work. The function I'm looking for is that they hatch locked.

Unfortunately, insta-locking wouldn't necessarily fix the issue. There is the entire possibility that while an egg hatches, locked or not, that an interaction will be made while the transfer from egg > Pokémon occurs. This would lead to locking it to have level 1 0 exp being completely nulled out since it would now, potentially, be level 2 - or at least level 1 with some exp. If we want something like this, it needs to be something that we can guarantee. That said - Remember the Doom Seed from Pokémon? Link (it's the fourth one down, click "show" on the right). What if we implemented something like that?

That might work! But what about how to get it/will it be hard to obtain, considering it's effects? Oh, and should this be moved to the Rejected thread?

Nah, we can change the title for posterity and approve if it seems okay. Niet is thinking of having them be a token-item, as they would be a purely luxury item. I think that's a bit on the expensive side and was looking more at like 20GP for one. We can't think on where it would be located at the moment.

Hmm...maybe make it like a quest that will give you doom seeds, like if you do a certain task daily/weekly/whatever time, you get one. Like a mini-tournament, but not just the first 100 get a prize?
