Forum Thread

I was looking through the Forums and the Wiki and realized that some things aren't easy to find or obvious to someone who isn't used to breeding Pokémon. I would like to start this thread to basically compile all the info needed in one place for breeding here and what the differences may/may not be with the actual games. I personally never did the breeding much in game only for a brief time so take what I say is overlap with a grain of salt. Hopefully someone leaves a comment to correct me.

Here's what I've learned:

For the most part the very basics of breeding are the same as the game's mechanics are. You get 2 Pokémon opposite gender of the same egg group and you have a chance to make an egg. This is where the first thing that confused me is already. If the Pokémon is in multiple egg groups then you only go by the first egg group not the second.

Example: Charmander is apart of the Monster/Dragon egg group Druddigon is part of the Dragon/Monster egg group these two Pokémon are NOT compatible. However Squirtle is compatible with Charmander because its egg group is Monster/Water1.


Credits are needed for anything to happen in the daycare. Think of it as one of those old horsey rides at the grocery store if there is no money in the machine it won't go.

The Wiki explains breeding shiny and event Pokémon pretty well. I am unsure about mega Pokémon how that works. I only know of that because I saw people talking about it in another forum.



So far that is all I know. I am still pretty new and haven't gotten to battling yet so I am unaware of how those mechanics work just yet. Hope we can fill in the blanks and/or I am wastin' my time and its somewhere else lol.
