Pokémon X - Help with Bad Egg from Link Trade?

I was playing X and then an Acquaintance trade request showed up.Then I thought to myself: “Let’s offer this guy one of my Riolu breedjects and see if he wants it.“The guy offered me an Egg, I wanted to gift him the Riolu so I didn’t care checking the Egg’s summary and started the trade. Later, I checked it and got the death sentence: “it looks as though this egg will take a long time yet to hatch.“I quarantined the box ASAP and left the Egg untouched since.What should I do? Is it safe to save or close my game? Should I get rid of the Egg via action replay or just leave the box how it is now until the end of time?

Thanks in advance.

I have good news:this is most likely not a bad egg.Bad eggs are always named as such by the game, so if it’s just named “Egg,” there’s nothing wrong with it. What’s going on is that it has an unusually high number of egg cycles. If the egg has more than 40 egg cycles remaining, it’ll display that message. However, the only Pokémon that start off with enough to get this messageare legendaries and mythicals, so it’s definitely hacked, but it shouldn’t cause the game-breaking glitches associated with bad eggs. I would treat it as if it were just any other hacked Pokémon.
