Are there any ways to decrease the amount of egg steps for Pokemon eggs?

Question

Some Pokemon have way too many egg steps, and it takes ages to hatch a breeded Pokemon.

Answer 1

Yes - by having a Pokemon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor in your party, it will "incubate" the egg and cut the number of steps in half.

(Note, multiple Pokemon with the abilities don't decrease it any more.)
