The Corruption Orb, Blue Stone, Twinkie, Saltwater Bucket, Pinkan Berries, and Chocolate Bar are Corrupting Items, a special class of Rare Evolution Items used to "corrupt" the eggs of certain Pokémon, turning them into Novelty Pokémon eggs. In this context, the corruption does not have any negative side effects towards hatching the Pokémon; the Novelty Pokémon that emerges tends to have "evil", "feral", or other undesirable properties that make it stand out from its non-Corrupted counterpart.
Mechanics[]
Use of a Corrupting Item resets the affected egg's maturity to zero, while retaining all other statistics (and adding a "Corrupted" event on the Pokémon's timeline). Consequently, any user that has interacted with that egg cannot click on the corrupted egg unless they have used the Odd Incense. The first use of a Corrupting Item unlocks the "Corrupter" achievement.
Corruption Orbs[]
The first two Corrupted Pokémon, Primal Dialga and Shadow Lugia, were released as straight-forward Novelty Pokémon during the now-retired Events system. Because they could not be bred, the administrators released the Corruption Orb, which could be used on regular Dialga and Lugia eggs to turn them into the eggs of their "evil" counterparts. Two additional Corrupted Pokémon, Fake Groudon and Zombidofo, were released soon afterwards.
Corruption Orbs were first made available by opening Black Chests. They can now be found additionally in the Underground or the Prize Shop for 10 Prize Points. Users can also purchase them from the Back Room for 15,000 points.

Blue Stone[]
The Blue Stone is a unique Corrupting Item exclusive to Zergoose, transforming its egg to a Feral Zergoose egg and producing a more "attack"-based version of the Novelty Pokémon. The item was introduced as the prize for the August 2010 Shiny Pichu Race, and the corrupted Pokémon introduced soon afterwards.
Blue Stones can be found randomly when hatching Zangoose or Zergoose eggs; otherwise, like the Corruption Orb, they can be purchased from the Back Room for 15,000 points or the Prize Shop for 10 Prize Points. This item was also handed out as a consolation prize for the March/April Shiny Race for hatching over 1,000 eggs.
