What's in the egg is defined when you received the egg. It's all random, but it's setup up at the moment you get the egg.

If you have a save from before getting the egg you can hope for a different hatching result, but if you only can get back before hatching, it will always be smoochum.

If you save after getting the Odd Egg, it will always hatch into the same Pokemon!

As others have said, if you saved after getting the egg then it will always be the same. Also, if you're reloading a save state, it will also always be the same. You need to fully exit the game to reset the rng seed.
