Rebalance regarding the gem collector:
Since Fairy Gems and most importantly Dragon Gems are generally a lot more valuable than all the other gems, using them for buying regular eggs from the gem collector doesn't make a lot of sense. At least not when you need 20 Dragon Gems to buy an "Easy"-rarity Dragon egg.
That's why the prices for Dragon & Fairy eggs have been adjusted:
- Dragon eggs now only require 20% of the regular amount of gems per egg (2 per Easy egg, 4 per Medium egg, 8 per Hard egg, 12 per Rare egg, ...)
- Fairy eggs now only require 80% of the regular amount of gems per egg (8 per Easy egg, 16 per Medium egg, 32 per Hard egg, 48 per Rare egg, ...)

You can now view little star icons next to your Pokémon's stats if they have good or perfect IVs:


If your Pokémon has perfect IVs (31), a gold star is displayed.
If your Pokémon has good IVs (29 or 30), a silver star is displayed.

What are IVs?
Individual Values (IVs) (sometimes also referred to as Determinant Values - DVs) are a value of a Pokémon influencing its stat. It cannot be changed once the Pokémon has hatched from an egg. The value ranges from 0 to 31 for each stat value.
To be more precise, a Pokémon's stat is determined by its base stat, level, nature, effort values (which can be trained over time) and the constant IVs. Basically: The higher its IVs on a certain stat, the higher will be that stat's value. If you want to learn more about them, I recommend you to check out the Bulbapedia article.
In other words: If your Pokémon is showing a silver or gold star next to its "Health Points" value, for example, it means that it has a higher Health Points stats than other Pokémon of the same type on that level with the same nature.

This info is useful for battling and the Bug Hatching Contest (=> Talent rating), since higher stats mean better chances of winning. However, I suppose they are also very nice/cool to look at :)

How do I influence a Pokémon's IVs?

The odds of having a random Pokémon with full perfect stats is roughly 1:1 Billion. There is currently no Pokémon on-site with fully perfect IVs.

In the Bug Hatching Contest, the Talent info shown after the minigame influences the egg's IVs. The better its talent rating, the higher its IVs on average.

And what's new with this update is so-called IV breeding:
For each individual stat, there is a 5 % chance that a Pokémon inherits the IVs for this stat from its mother, and a 5 % chance that it inherits the IV from the father. Thus, there is "only" a 90% chance that it's completely random.
With the new item Destiny Knot, however, the chance of passing on IVs is increased by a factor of 4. If the Mother Pokémon holds this item while breeding, she now has a 20% chance (for each stat) to pass on her IVs. The same is true for the Father Pokémon. Thus, when both parents hold this item, there's only a 60% chance (for each stat) that the IVs are random. With this technique, you can try to maximise a Pokémon's IVs with careful, iterative breeding.
The only way of obtaining the new item Destiny Knot is currently through Mystery Boxes.

Hope you enjoy :)

Eh, forget about the update I published an hour ago; it was a temporary solution while I finished this thing now - and I didn't expect this thing to be finished this quickly.

Two things have been added to the Pokémon page: Their type as well as a link to their family tree.





Note that we have started collecting data about mother-/fatherhood on August 20th, 2022. So any Pokémon obtained before that does not have info about their parents stored.
By the way, this also affects Pokémon eggs obtained from the Tall Grass. Since all of the tall grass eggs originally come from the daycare, you can now find out who originally bred this egg for you! Enjoy ~

Minor notice regarding the current Black Friday sale: If you buy the 4-months premium deal 3-times (thus for a full year), I'll send you a Retro Mew Egg Voucher after the sale has ended. :)
If you buy two years, of course, you'll receive two vouchers.

There was a tiny bug which caused almost all Kubfu to be female (if they were obtained before noon on Dec 25). The issue has now been fixed and your Kubfu's gender might have been re-rolled (so it might now be male). If you care about its gender, you might want to check your Kubfu again. Sorry for the inconvenience!

You can now see the breeder of your Pokémon (egg) on its profile page. The "breeder" of an egg is the user (or NPC) who bred the egg in the daycare. Thus, when you adopt an egg from the Tall Grass, you can now find out who it originally belonged to :)

Please note that we've started collecting this data a few weeks ago, so this info is missing for all eggs generated before that, unfortunately.
Hope you enjoy!

A new "OT"-mode has been added to the PokéDex: You can now set your Pokédex to consider only Pokémon with yourself as the "Original Trainer".

With this new feature, the requirement for the dex certificates/rewards has been slightly changed: In order to receive the special dex reward from Prof. Rowan, you now need a complete dex in one region (unchanged) + at least 40% of these entries must have you as their OT (new). This is to prevent users from just dex-trading an entire region in order to easily get the dex reward. For example: In order to finish your Kanto dex, you need 150 Kanto dex entries and 60 of those entries must also have you as their OT (visible via the new OT mode).
This change does not affect users who already claimed the certificate in the past.

Imo, 40% is a fair balance, as it still encourages you to trade with others - but at the same time, you have to put in at least a bit of effort yourself to gather new research data for Rowan.

40% rule (see previous post) has been removed since it apparently upset too many users. Sorry about that. imo it was a fair balance, but it's definitely not worth the headaches it's giving me (and apparently some of you)

You might notice that a few new Paldean Pokédex entries of certain evolutions have been added. This does not mean that they're available now, however! It's just preparation for a future release. Proper announcement will be made once they become available.

In the meantime, please enjoy the immediate release of Maschiff and its evolution through Prof. Rowan's Lab!
