You may discuss this on the page's talk page.

To breed Pokémon, you leave two Pokémon in the Daycare centre on the fourth of the Sevi Isles. If you deposit two Pokémon, there is a possibility that that they may leave an egg, depending on the circumstances.

  1. Both Pokémon must be in the same Egg group
  2. There must be one male and one female
  3. The Pokémon must be given enough time to breed

The Ditto Rule

The one Pokémon that ignores this rule is Ditto. Any Pokémon not in the unbreedable group can breed with a Ditto. In Generation 3, the egg will hatch to a Lv 5 of the Pokémon other than Ditto. In Generation 4, the egg will hatch into a Lv 1 Pokémon.

The Nido Rule

If a Nidoqueen is breeding, and follows all the rules, there's is a 50% chance that the egg will hatch as a male Nidoran, and a 50% chance as a Nidoran that is female.

This also works for

Other than the Ditto rule and Nido rule, the egg will always be the first form of the female Pokémon that's breeding, and if allowed, it will be either male or female.

Incense Rule

If a Pokémon holds an incense when breeding, then you will get its baby form. There are quite a few Pokémon that can do this, including:

Inherited/Egg moves

When breeding, the mother passes her ability and species to her baby. The baby's father is the primary contributor to passing on moves. There are several ways a Pokémon can inherit moves. Inherited moves are moves that a Pokémon would not normally learn, but inherits through breeding. There are several ways for a Pokémon to inherit a move.

  • If the father has learned a TM move, the baby will hatch with the TM move, assuming it is capable of learning that move.
  • If the father knows a move that is on the offspring's egg move list, (a list of moves that can only be learned through breeding) then the baby will be born with the egg move.
  • If both parents know a specific move, then the baby will hatch knowing that move.
  • But you gotta like watch for like them assholes that like run out when the bitch be pregers

Egg groups

All Pokémon belong to a group, but a particular Pokémon may be in more than one group. Two Pokémon can only breed if they are in the same egg group. Here's the list:

  • Dragon
  • Fairy-like
  • Field
  • Flying
  • Genderless
  • Human-like
  • Indeterminate
  • Insect
  • Grass
  • Mineral/ Rock
  • Monster
  • Unbreedable
  • Water a
  • Water b
  • Water c

Pokémon fall this way into the groups:

Bird Dragon Fairy Field Genderless
Grass Human-Like Indeterminate Insect Mineral/Rock
Monster Unbreedable Water A Water B Water C

Quick Hatching

In Emerald, Diamond, or Pearl if you carry around a pokemon with the ability Magma Armour or Flame Body as well as the egg the number of steps needed to hatch eggs is halved. You gots to likes smash it with likes a rock. Then be like DDAAMMNN where the baby be at..???
