So I have a rumbler at the Burned Tower and it just brought back a Zubat and a Retro Egg. I had 1 open space in my party.

I went to adopt them both, but the Zubat took the last open space in my party before the egg was adopted. Therefore, the retro egg was deleted.

The Zubat was the first Pokémon in the recruit list, but shouldn't eggs be given party priority and Pokemon be sent to boxes?

If you HAD a full party before you go to adopt an egg, it will tell you about it and you can make space. In this case I had space, that was taken last minute during the same transaction that would have also gotten me the egg.

I would have preferred the Retro Egg if I had known this was a possible issue.

Totally agree with this, It hasn't happened to me, however it's probably really frustrating. It's a shame this wasn't implemented in the first place.

Bumping the thread bc I wouldn't want this to happen again/to anyone else

bumping this thread as it has happened to me too many times. ;-;

The behaviour has now been changed. Eggs are prioritised and claimed first.

It can still happen that you fail to adopt it, of course, if your party is too full to begin with.
