Exp lock
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Exp lock”Mysterious… surprising… and law-defying… Isn’t that right?”
We are not pokefarm sadly and yes,safe mode is there as well to protect you from adopting the egg.So it's kinda on you on your on your end for accidentally adopting that egg.We also have egg storages (but yes they are expensive) so just be careful when adopting eggs
Literally the reason for egg storage existing; and before that: you had to be super-duper careful to keep your chain intact.
If this were implemented, then why would we even keep Egg Storage as a feature?

I've had this problem too, where I've adopted The wrong egg and accidentally broke my chain. But we all make mistakes.
The reason for egg storage is to store eggs. If there were an EXP lock if you had an oopsie and clicked the wrong egg/accidentally adopted an egg then that's on you.
If this were implemented it'd also make the egg storage useless.
There Is also safe mode, as stated by many users, to prevent this from happening
As for the egg storage being expensive, be more careful as to what you adopt, (although the lab doesn't have a yes/no option; why would you be in the lab while shiny hunting anyway?? [Unless you're doing the lab only shiny hunt..-]), with the safe mode on, it gives you a check as to if you want to accept that egg. :x
If you have it turned off that's a personal choice you must acknowledge and nobody else's fault but yours-
Its YOUR fault if you adopt an egg from the lab when you're on a hunt, not an expensive egg storage's fault.
And agreeing with Humbloom, we aren't on PokeFarm. If you love PokeFarm's features so much, just play there.
Just put on Safe Mode if you don't already have it on, and maybe set some PD aside for an emergency Egg Storage.
If you have chosen to shiny hunt, you take into account the risks of adopting the wrong eggs, and at least be careful with what you adopt. I can understand it ca be sad when you have no Pd and adopt a chain-breaking egg, but this would decrease the value of the egg storage.

This would completely nullify the egg storage, like other people had said before. Users with egg storages might feel as if their PD was wasted (unless, of course, they want to hunt a legendary, which a minority of users do). Also, if an exp lock were implemented for Pokemon too, this would basically make everstones useless.
This being said, no support.
I do give my support, because even though it may be a person's own fault for adopting a wrong egg, accidents do happen and it just isn't very fun to have a ton of progress thrown down the drain. Having an EHP lock would be awesome, because that way an egg you don't want to hatch doesn't accidentally get on the Index or something like that and break your chain - it gives you a chance and time to buy an egg storage if you need it as well.
It would make hunts... INSANELY easy. Adopted the wrong egg? AH WHO CARES, I CAN JUST LOCK IT!
It would make users incredibly careless and not care if they DO make a mistake. Not to mention the egg storage (which I do admit is incredibly expensive) would be rendered obsolete for the most part. Mistakes are your own fault, and you have to live up to them; even if it does mean restarting a hunt.

People have a certain number of egg locks. That number is 6, the total amount of eggs you can have in a party at any given time, and this is the cap. You can have no more than 6 Egg Locks in use at a time, and you'd have to unlock an egg to be able to use the Lock again on something else. This works just like Egg Storages except for the fact that the egg would remain in your party - it would still take up space until you either a). hatch it, or b). put it in an egg storage - so it isn't the same as egg storage. The first 2 egg locks are free, and in order to get to 6 egg locks you'd have to buy the other 4 with either PD or Nuggets.
This, I feel like would be somewhat of a happy medium. If you wanted to open up some space in your party, or keep more eggs from hatching that just 6, you would still have to eventually use an egg storage. That doesn't make it go to waste, and people still get / get to use egg locks if a mistake happens and they currently didn't have the ability to use / purchase an egg storage.
I personally would love to have a Lv.1 Pokemon on here but sadly can't
sorry but no support to EXP locking eggs
