Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A  If I get an egg in a
trade, does it's step count reset or stay the same?  3 votes
Example: I get an egg that requires 5000 steps to hatch. The
person who traded it to me walked 1000 steps with it.  Would it
reset to 5000 again for me or stay at 4000?  asked Apr 5, 2012

stay at 4000 as on Bulbapedia's Egg page it makes no mention of
this mechanic and this would be a something definitely worthy of
mention if it did reset. Especially considering they did mention
something about eggs and trading in the Trivia:   So also
considering the OT, and ID remain the same one can assume that
it would stay the same as well. Feel free to test it out though,
you can run around so it says in the summary "maybe close to
hatching" and then trade it too see if it is back to "It does
not seem close to hatching".  answered Apr 5, 2012 by Speed
