I just started a new game and want to use a ground themed team with roggenrola as my starter

Hello,

I have a male frigibax that I've been trying to breed with a ditto in Pokémon scarlet. Not sure why, I waited probably 15-20min and no results. I haven't had any egg-enhancing items either. But is it unbreedable? Do I have to delete some moves? Please help. Thanks

I want to breed for a shiny impidimp via the Masuda method, but im not sure how since every source I see says Impidimp is a Male only species. Does that mean I NEED a Ditto to breed?

I am trying to be weird and breed a Veluza that knows recover significantly earlier than I would otherwise be able to catch the wild tera that knows it, however according to bulbapedia Veluza is the only water group 2 pokemon that can learn it by breeding and it also says it can learn it by chain breeding. How would this be possible? I feel like I'm missing something and it's getting really annoying.

I decided to take up a challenge to iv breed for the 1st time as I'm trying to get a shiny and in a couple of days I ended up with mons who match eachothers. They have now made +100 eggs without full IVs so I started to suspect if they are even able to make it? I'm using destiny knot and ever stone so if there's any tips, I'd appreciate to hear them!😁

I returned to Pokemon Sword after a long break and decided to update some of my mons with "better" balls (Poke or Quick to Dive/Net/Dark/Nest lol). I had a lvl 1 Skwovet in my Home I'd obviously need some time ago with the moveset

• Bite
• Rollout
• Super Fang
• Bullet Seed

I know Rollout is an egg move and Bullet Seed is a TM move...

How did I get Bite and Super Fang when they are level up moves? Is there a mechanic I've forgotten in this gen? I have several mons where I've obviously done this (Grookey with Branch Poke), and I'd just like a memory jog

Thanks for any help!

I used to have a masuda ditto in my ultra sun game but moved it up to home at some point. I didnt think to get a new one before the 3ds internet server shut down (I was very focused on getting all the friend safaris I could get lol) and was wondering if it was possible to get another now servers are gone. I already checked all my other 3ds pokemon titles and none of them have a ditto I could use.

I have the shiny charm in that game and had a good time breeding in it so I'd like to go back to it for some pokemon if possible. I know festival plaza has a bunch of features I never used so I didnt know if that had any that would allow for that. I'm kind of assuming not, and I'm pretty sure this is an impossible task, but I figured it was worth the ask.

I do have a masuda eevee that I was breeding with (which is why I never realized I moved my other ditto up) but I dont know how many pokemon can be bred like that (I've only ever ditto masuda bred solely for shiny and a little bit for IVs so I know next to nothing about egg groups and parent match ups or how all that works)

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

But the DVs for defence are ALWAYS 11, even when using one with 10 DVs. Help?

Scarlet/Violet

If Pokémon have identical IVs will this lessen the chance of them getting better ones?

I have two Pokemon both with 5 perfect IVs and the same pretty good IV, is it harder to get that last one to best as well because they’re both the same?

One does have Destiny Knot, should I give the other an item as well?

Basically if I get a Ditto and Make It's IVs perfect, will those IVs still pass down

Hi; so I'm kind of new of understanding how breeding actually works within Heart Gold but do have a few questions to ask about using Smeargle specifically with it.

1. Is it possible to sketch Substitute as a move using Smeargle? If so; can I than have it pass on to a female Pokemon through breeding in order for that egg to get Substitute overall? Can I use it to breed with a female Ampharos and have the egg get Substitute as a move?

2. Does the AI Pokemon have to do the move against you in order for Smeargle to sketch and copy it? I've heard that it doesn't always work because you are "sketching a statue" but actually copying the move is possible. I'm thinking of using a level 29 Mr. Mime through dual battling? Can I use do a battle against myself with two DS devices with an online battle in order to copy the move itself?

Thanks to anyone that can help me.

I am trying to breed a Snorlax to have both curse and zen headbutt but can’t get one to hatch with both moves.

I have a female Snorlax that knows curse and is holding full incense and a male Snorlax that knows zen headbutt but the munchlax are hatching with just zen headbutt.

Both Snorlax only know their one move, nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

I have a female Garchomp with Outrage and a male Marowak with Earthquake, but the child only inherits Outrage. I also have a female Feebas and a male Horsea with Scald and Dragon Pulse, but the child inherits no moves. My understanding was that children can inherit TM moves from the father, so I don't understand why that's not working here.

so I bred two pokemon and an egg came out (yippee!) But i'm wondering since one of the pokemon is a shiny ditto, I was planning to soft reset if the egg didn't turn out to be a shiny pokemon when it hatched, so my question is, when do i save and soft reset too if the egg fails to be a shiny pokemon?I

I need advice on the most efficient way to get a Shiny Pawniard with Sucker Punch in Pkmn Sw/Sh. I already have a Japanese save file of Sword which I get my foreign language Pokemon for masuda method, but I need help knowing what steps to do, or what I should do in general to breed a pretty blue Pawniard with the egg move

Hi all, I'm having trouble with a breeding project and hoping for some help. Thanks in advance. I'm playing Pokemon Diamond and trying to breed a Misdreavus with the moves Nasty Plot and Ominous Wind inherited as egg moves from its father, a Spiritomb. His moveset was as follows, all learned from leveling up:

Hypnosis
Dream Eater
Ominous Wind
Nasty Plot

But I just bred a few Misdreavuses with the following moveset:

Growl (lv. 1 move)
Psywave (lv. 1 move)
Ominous Wind (egg move)
Dream Eater (egg move I guess, but I didn't even think this was possible?)

I wanted it to learn Nasty Plot as its second egg move, not Dream Eater. I made my Spiritomb forget Dream Eater so he couldn't pass it down, but now I've hatched a baby Misdreavus who only knows Growl, Psywave, and Ominous Wind. Nasty Plot isn't showing up at all, even though her dad knows it and it should work as an egg move. What am I doing wrong? How do I get her to be hatched knowing Ominous Wind and Nasty Plot? Thanks for any help!

I got a shiny ditto from my friend, but it wasn't foreign, and i have a foreign nonshiny, and I dont know if that would help or hinder.

EDIT: This is in Violet

Hi all does anyone know if it's possible if an egg can be resetted until it's shiny if I save right before receiving it from the daycare man in white2? I plan to use the join avenue nursery to instantly hatch it

Currently I'm in Australia and caught a ditto on pokemon go. If I transfer this ditto to pokemon home to use in Pokemon Violet. Will it keep it's country as Australia and does it work for the Masuda method that way? For extra info 99% of my pokemon are New Zealand based 1 from a friend in Canada.

Currently playing Soulsilver (Gen 4) and have been struggling trying to grasp how to breed a perfect IV pokemon, specifically Dratini. I hatched one earlier that had 6 across all stats. After researching more I read that a 31 in all stats is considered the max. I’m a little OCD with this and want everyone in my team to have perfect stats no matter how long it will take.

If I breed a Zorua in gen 5 game and transfer it to Scarlet does it say where the egg hatched or where the pokemon is from

HeyHeyHey Buddys.

I wanna start playing some competitive Pkmn and to get the best Pkmns i need Dittos!

Now my Question. What Dittos do i need?

So we need a Perfect Ditto for every Nature + one Neutral Nature Right?

I dont know if we can Lower some IVs so we need 5x31 and 0 on Speed Ditto for every Nature + one Neutral Nature. For Some TrickRoom Teams right?

So a Hardcore competitive Breeder needs 52 Dittos. Am i Wrong? Or do they need Even more Dittos in some scenarios?

Back in the day, I remember really liking the "Waiting for Seedot" chain breeding calculator. You could enter your desired pokemon and the 4 moves you wanted it to have and it would spit out the chain needed to make it happen or if the desired move set wasn't possible.

It worked really well and I can't find any alternatives. If I do find anything, it only lets you see a chain based on egg groups, but doesn't say anything about how to get the moves onto a pokemon or it only shows you how to get one egg move onto a pokemon which is not particularly helpful.

I'm just surprised that I'm not able to find anything similar. I feel like it would still be a useful thing to have. I'm sure it's largely due to the fact that egg move breeding has become way less specific over the years, but I still play older stuff pretty regularly and it would be nice to have a tool that can help alleviate the headache of trying to figure out a chain when getting two or more egg moves on a pokemon.

Here's an archive of the main page. If you try to actually use the calculator, it doesn't seem to work, but I'm hoping it will help illustrate what I'm looking for.

Mine are dragon dance larvatar, drill peck murkrow, extrasensory budew, mirror coat Milotic, blaze kick Lucario, counter Foretress

Right now, todadile and treecko are in ultra balls from pokemon go. I have a froakies in beast balls and dreepys in beast balls. Is there any way to breed them to where i can get todadiles and treeckos in beast balls or would i not be able to because the ball will forever come from the mother?

I want to use one in my X playthrough, so I'm setting things up in my Post-Delta Episode Alpha Sapphire game.

My ditto holding everstone wont pass down its nature to the eggs. I read chance is 50% but out of 40 eggs none had the same nature. Is it just bad luck or am I missing something here? Thanks in advance

I've been playing Alpha Sapphire recently, and I'm going to play Pokémon X once I beat AS. So I'm trying to setup my team for X, and I want a Magnezone with Analytic.

My original plan was to use the DEXNAV feature to eventually catch a Magnemite with Analytic in New Mauville, since chaining that gradually increases the chances a pokemon with have their hidden ability, but then I found out that the Magnemites in New Mauville are all at least lv. 22. And I don't want that, I want to build a team up from the beginning at level 5.

So how do I breed one with Analytic? Do I just catch one with it, and breed it until I get what I want, or what?

Struggling to find a dratini with its hidden ability in pokemon sun, anyone know how i can get one
