Pokémon hatched from the Odd Egg can have one of two different sets of possible IVs ( Attack/ Defense/ Speed/ Special): 0/0/0/0 (not Shiny) or 2/10/10/10 (Shiny). This change was likely due to the Mobile System GB not being a part of the international version of Pokémon Crystal. In the international versions of Pokémon Crystal, the player could receive the Odd Egg from the Day-Care Man at the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34. Because the Mobile System GB is inaccessible in all Virtual Console releases of Pokémon Crystal, players of the Japanese Virtual Console version of the game cannot receive an Odd Egg. The player could exchange the Egg Ticket for the Odd Egg by talking to the Pokémon Center Nurse in the Trade Corner at the Pokémon Communication Center in Goldenrod City. The Egg Ticket was distributed as an event via the Mobile System GB and could be picked up from the Day-Care Man at the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34 if the player had received the event.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, the player must have an Egg Ticket in order to obtain the Odd Egg. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
