in reply to @jkap's post:
the eggbug has a busted/proprietary knockoff rfid chip that only scans on a discontinued branded base station
This is a common misconception.
The eggbug amiibo is a regular amiibo, to all reasonable inspection. The RFID chip is the same kind as in any other amiibo. If you take it out and examine it mechanically, it looks just fine, and reading it with specialised diagnostic software on your computer, it reads and writes just fine.
But it doesn't work. Any game you try and scan it with simply rejects it. Now, they don't fail to scan it, or anything like that, it simply… doesn't work. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it.
There are two exceptions. In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the WiiU (not on the Switch!) it scans just fine, and it spawns a few bladed rhino beetles and a wooden chest containing an ancient helmet that's appears to be based on a slightly off-model eggbug, similar to the helmets you get from the hero amiibo that look are based on the Divine Beasts.
It also works in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and you can store your fighter info to it, but in the interface all the numbers on fights won, fights lost and so on are just replaced by "Several".
The eggbug amiibo is an odd beast, to be sure.
