Premise
The series continues from where Moshi Monsters: The Movie left off, with Buster Bumblechops discorvering many more Moshling eggs. Buster alerts the six main monsters (Katsuma, Poppet, Furi, Luvli, Diavlo and Zommer) about it and Katsuma tells Buster and the other Moshis that they'll set up an  egg hunt  (The main premise of the show) and find all of the newly-discovered Moshling eggs.

In each episode, the six main monsters get a choice of Moshlings that they'll be pairing with in that episode. Katsuma and Poppet have already got Moshlings assigned to them (Mr. Snoodle (Poppet) and Mrs. Snoodle (Katsuma) respectively). During that episode, the monsters and the Moshlings that they're paired to will have to search for Moshling eggs all throughout the Moshi world. After each egg is hatched, Buster will announce who the Moshling is and Poppet/Katsuma will then tell one fact about that Moshling.

In the Moshling Sanctuary segment, Poppet discovers that this episode 's egg is not there, commencing the find the egg segment, where the viewer needs to spot where the egg is in that episode's picture of the day. Once the viewers finds the egg, Katsuma tells the viewer that the egg would hatch later on in the episode, commencing the other segments of that episode.

House Segment
In the six monsters' home, the Moshis have to take care of the Moshlings they've collected. They can decorate the house with items that they've bought from the market (see Shopping section), they can give food to the Moshlings or they can use potions on the Moshlings for very funny moments, like having a disco with a Moshling.

Shopping Segment
During each episode, the monsters head out to the market to buy stuff for their home, such as furniture, food and potions. After they collected all the items they needed, one of the monsters say that they need some more Moshi power, or, very rarely, Strangeglove calls the Moshis and sends them a Glumping threat, commencing the games section.

Games Segment
The monsters head out to a game show to get the Moshling egg, beating a specific game, like: Tic-Tac-Toe, Quiz game, etc.

Puzzle Palace Segment
During each episode, Katsuma head out to the Puzzle Palace where there are Ultra-rare Moshling eggs. In this segment, Katsuma needs the help of the TV viewers to solve the puzzles, like: Math, Differences, Colours, etc.

Musical Segment
The musical segment comes in near the end of the episode. In this segment, the six main monsters head to the theater to have a “Moshi dance party”, as described by Katsuma. Katsuma/Poppet would then tell the viewers to get up and dance and a song (either from the music videos, the Music Rox! album, the movie soundtrack or an original song designed for the series) would begin, commencing the the musical segment.

Super Moshling Segment
When the six monsters collect all the Moshlings from a set they 've already had, a Super Moshling egg would appear, which amazes the monsters, but Poppet realises that they need to clean the egg first, with the monsters heading to the Bumbletron. After the egg is cleaned, the main monsters need a golden spoon which is collected from the shopping segment on a very rare occasion (or in the first episode featuring a Super Moshling's case, borrowing Buster's last golden spoon from Furbert Snufflepeeps). The six main monsters hatch the Super Moshling egg and Buster/Katsuma and Poppet/everyone announces who the Super Moshling is, before putting the Moshling in their Moshling Zoo.

Hatching Segment
After putting the Moshling in their Zoo, the six main monsters hatch other Moshling eggs which they found them in the way, Katsuma explains every of those eggs and later puts the Moshlings in their Zoo.

Outro
After the musical segment is finished, Katsuma/Poppet recaps that episode featuring clips from the episode itself. Katsuma then asks the viewer if they'd love to go on an egg hunt next time, before the main characters wave goodbye to the audience, finishing the episode.
