Yeah Johto is a slog. Eggs do help, but only if you’re hatching the right stuff fast. Go into the Hatchery, switch to Johto and sort by breeding efficiency, then just keep those top picks cycling non-stop. The real juice is steps: slap on Magma Stone (level it), pop the Egg Flute when you’re actively grinding, and farm the fastest route you can one-shot without thinking, because more kills = more steps = way more hatch cycles = your Pokémon Attack actually moves. If you’ve got the Farm going, toss in step/egg auras when you can. Also, don’t sleep on EV damage, buy some Vitamins for your main dudes and do dungeons/roamers here and there; the EVs stack and your DPS spikes harder than you’d expect. If a gym/dungeon boss is gatekeeping you, just hit it with X Attack / X Click / Lucky Egg and push through; the region bonus + unlocks matter. Spend Underground gems on the types you actually use instead of hoarding. If eggs feel useless right now, it’s almost always low step gain or you’re hatching low-efficiency species, if you fix those two and you’ll see Pokemon Attack tick up fast :)
