Returning Kenya with only Egg in party glitch - Page 1

Returning Kenya with only Egg in party glitch

I recall seeing a page a few years ago with some pictures of returning Kenya/a pokemon holding its mail with only an egg in the party, losing the Pokemon, and only having the egg afterwards, with some stuff happening with battles. Unfortunately I can't find anything on this now, but I was able to replicate what I was thinking about!

[size=1em]Normally, you can't return Kenya/mailmon if it's the only one left in the party, but it seems the game doesn't check for eggs. (Or possibly fainted pokemon?)[/size]

[size=1em]With the egg being the last one in the party, I was able to use its contained Pokemon in battle and maintain its level after hatching.  Reminds me of the Pomeg glitch in the sense of letting you use eggs.[/size]

This was a quick proof of concept video I just recorded, so it's probably not the best or fullest demonstration, but it's documented here now. Though it is a modified save from a romhack, the game is vanilla Crystal and this is likely possible in Gold/Silver as well. It may even work with the gift Shuckie in Cianwood.

tl;dr: returning Kenya with only an egg in the party leaves you with only an egg in the party that you can fight with

This doesn't work in vanilla Gen 2 as Eggs are given with 0 HP, preventing you from giving Kenya away.

That's a shame. I guess PKHex or the hack messed with the structure of the egg I imported from an earlier save. Sorry for misleading people, I should've confirmed with legit circumstances before making a video. I've edited the video title and description to reflect that this can't happen under normal circumstances.

Now I wonder what page exactly I remembered originally that had info about this "glitch" since it isn't actually possible to do normally…
