2nd Gen Breeding

[morthen]

Arent Charmander and Snorlax supposed to be able to breed?
"Its brimming with energy" is all i get, and that means they cant breed.

They can breed together since they're part of the same egg group (Monster), but the message "It's brimming with energy!" means that both Pokemon's Defense IVs are the same, and their special IVs are different by either 0 or 8. This means that the two Pokemon are possibly related to each other in some way.

Some times the egg takes a longer time to occurs. I think I know what you mean. I had two pokemon with a simular message but eventually there was an egg. Or I found out they can not breed, and they eventually reached lv100 by the time I got back???

This was the problem I had yesterday, trying to get my Hitmontop and a Ditto to breed for a Tyrogue egg. By the time I eventually gave up and went back to the Daycare Centre, they'd both grown about 20 levels or so.

Also, as a sidenote, I hate Pokemon Breeding. Awful, tedious game mechanic. If it wasn't for the fact that i'm trying to complete my Pokedex, I wouldn't bother. Literally my least favourite part of the Gen II games.
