Introduction
Now to begin, you need to know the general rules of thumb when it comes to breeding. Two Pokémon can breed if left in the daycare center. When certain conditions are met, an egg is laid. These conditions are:
- The two Pokémon are of the same egg group.
- The Pokémon are of opposite sex. Exception: Breeding with Ditto or Genderless Pokémon.
Now the rate of a Pokémon egg being laid is as follows: "After every 256 steps, the chance is taken and if the random value is selected to allow for an egg, the egg shall be created for you to pick up at the Day Care center. If no egg is produced, then you need to go back and partake in another 256 steps."
Ditto and Egg Groups
Now you're probably thinking: "I have heard all of this talk about Egg Groups, but what exactly is an Egg Group?" Well, only certain Pokémon can breed with certain Pokémon. For instance, a Pikachu can not breed with a Magikarp. That would be absurd... and kind of gross. So Pokémon are categorized down into Egg Groups; a group of Pokémon compatible with each other. These groups are based on the Pokémon's appearance and there are 15 of them. Similarly to Pokémon types, many Pokémon have 2 Egg Groups to increase breeding variety. The Egg Groups are:- Monster Group: Pokémon in this group are saurian/kaijū-like in appearance and nature.
- Water 1 Group: Pokémon in this group are amphibious in nature.
- Bug Group: Pokémon in this group are insectoid (bug-like) in appearance.
- Flying Group: Pokémon in this group are avian (bird-like) in appearance.
- Field Group: The largest group, Pokémon here are terrestrial in nature.
- Fairy Group: Pokémon in this group are petite and considered very cute.
- Grass Group: Pokémon in this group are plant-like in appearance.
- Human-Like Group: Pokémon in this group are fully bipedal.
- Water 3 Group: Pokémon in this group resemble aquatic invertebrates.
- Mineral Group: Pokémon in this group are inorganic in nature.
- Amorphous Group: Pokémon in this group are amorphous, having no definite form.
- Water 2 Group: Pokémon in this group are piscine (fish-like) in appearance.
- Ditto Group: As the name implies, Ditto is the only Pokémon in this group, and is capable of breeding with all others (regardless of gender) aside from those in the Undiscovered and the Ditto group.
- Dragon Group: Pokémon in this group are draconic in appearance.
- Undiscovered Group: Pokémon in this group are unable to breed with anything.
