Breeding

On this page

Breeding allows you to breed two Pokémon together and receive an offspring in the form of an Egg, which will eventually hatch into a level 1 Pokémon. Most players breed to target better IVs, specific abilities, Egg Moves, a preferred nature, or a specific regional form.

Getting Started

Purchase a Breeding Nest

Open the /breed menu and purchase a Breeding Nest for :money~1:10k.

Select Parents

Enter the Nest submenu and select the two compatible parents you’d like to breed.

Wait for an Egg

After 12 minutes, an Egg will be produced in the Nest. Once the Egg is ready, you will receive a chat notification letting you know it can be collected from the Nest.

Collect Egg

Click Collect to move Eggs into your Egg Incubator. If the Incubator is full, Eggs are sent to your Egg Storage instead.

Hatch Egg

Eggs in your Incubator will eventually hatch into a level 1 Pokémon after you walk or fly a certain number of steps.

Parent Compatibility

Two Pokémon can breed if they are in at least one matching Egg Group, and a valid pair: Male × Female or (Male/Female/Genderless) × Ditto.

The produced egg will be the same species as the female, but at the bottom of the evolutionary chain.

Ditto Breeding

  • Ditto can breed with nearly all species, except those classified as Undiscovered
  • Ditto + Ditto produces a random species Egg, excluding Legendaries, Ultra Beasts, and Mythicals

Egg Hatching

Eggs in your Incubator hatch after you walk or fly a certain number of steps. Steps required depend on the species’ egg cycles. Hover over an Egg In your Incubator to view it's current cycle steps, cycles remaining, and hatch progress.

  • 1 egg cycle = 128 steps
  • A “step” is the time it takes to walk the full length of two blocks at normal speed

If a Pokémon with Flame Body, Magma Armor, or Steam Engine is in your party, all Eggs in your Incubator hatch 2× faster.

Trait Inheritance

IVs

Both parents pass down 3 random IVs to the offspring (no overlaps).

Power Items force a specific inherited IV:

  • Power Weight → HP
  • Power Bracer → Attack
  • Power Belt → Defense
  • Power Lens → Special Attack
  • Power Band → Special Defense
  • Power Anklet → Speed

Destiny Knot

Offspring randomly inherit IVs for 5 distinct stats. For each inherited stat, the value is randomly chosen from one of the two parents. The remaining stat that is not inherited is randomly generated as normal.

Size Variations

Offspring growth is inherited based on the parents’ growth, with small variance allowing adjacent growth values.

Ability

  • If a mother is present: 80% chance to pass her ability (60% if it’s a Hidden Ability)
  • Male + Ditto: the male’s ability has a 60% chance to pass (applies to normal + HA)

If the ability is not passed, the offspring rolls a base ability for its species (which can still match the parent’s base ability).

Egg Moves

If either parent knows a species-specific Egg Move, the offspring inherits it. If either parent knows a move that can be taught via TM/HM, the offspring also inherits it if it can normally learn it via TM/HM.

Regional Forms

Offspring of Regional Form Pokémon hatch as the default (non-regional) form unless both parents share the same Regional Form.

If a Regional Form parent is holding an Everstone, that parent’s form is passed on.

Everstone

Everstone causes the offspring to inherit the holder’s Nature (and the holder’s Regional Form, if applicable).

If both parents hold Everstones, the offspring randomly inherits one parent’s Nature.

Shinies

Offspring have a 1/4096 chance to hatch with a Shiny texture. If both parents share the same Original Trainer (OT), this chance is increased to 6/4096.

Shiny chance is not increased by other modifiers (e.g., crown rank perks, server boosters, etc.).
