From what I understand, right now pets can have the derp effect if they either were born on April 1 this year or are born on another later date / later dates, yet to be specified. I personally feel like there are some problems with this:
-The main one is probably that some people desperately want their older pets to get the effect. Also, people named their pets (example: DerpyPet) thinking they might be able to get the effect for them.
-It would be nearly impossible for CS pets to get the effect. It might be possible to set up hatch dates that went along with the CS egg cycle (not sure how the hatch dates are going to work), but what about Kioka, Omni, Liyure? All the artists' hard work on these retired pets would go to waste.
-Some people might want the effect on a pet of a rare hatch color, for example, albino Veram. Albino is already at 1%, so only 1% of the pets hatched on a certain day / certain days would get the effect, making prices insanely high.
-In contrast, the value of the effect for other creatu would be extremely low. I'm not sure how the dates for hatching this effect work right now, but let's say for example that all Chimby will hatch with this effect on March 15. Then everybody who wanted to could buy / pick up Chimby eggs and hatch them on that day, making derp Chimby virtually worthless in the market. (The only way to get around this is maybe make only a certain percentage hatch with the effect- but this would just make the situation with rare pets and rare hatch colors worse.)
For the above reasons I think it's better to make the effect something you can buy instead of hatch. It would make more sense, since creatu effects are normally buyable anyway.
Please post your opinions or suggestions for how the derp effect should be implemented below, or post if you know whether something like this is already being planned!

The thing is almost all Effects come with an item to give other creatu an effect. The only ones that do not have an item are OaKs since they are locked to the pet the user pays to have the OaK make for.
So there will likely be an item to be released as well that will give other creatu the effect ^^ Edit: The dates are just for the first creatu who get it without use of an item, as most events do include a way to give a creatu an effect that goes with that event, The Caves to Frost Light your creatu, Trick or Treating to Undead your creatu, even when we had a comet festival we could take our creatu to do a thing to have a chance of getting the effect. So its very much like that.
As for increasing values for effected creatu its like trying to increase values of dyed creatu, the item that gives the dye color/effect is worth more then a creatu with that color/effect because the user can apply it to the creatu they want. In order to give them value like hatch color creatu have we'd need something similar to Kir.
