Is your egg Pokemon what you hoped it would be?

[Hikamaru]

I just want to know, if anyone had a Pokemon egg and thought they were going to get a great Pokemon in terms of gender, nature or ability... and suddenly when your egg hatches, you discover it's a DUD!

I started this up because on my second run of Pearl I had a Stunky egg, hoping it would have Aftermath and not a neutral nature (Hardy/Serious/Bashful/Docile/Quirky) and that I would get another girl (most of my Stunkys were female).

But, I discovered it was a BOY, had a Serious nature and Stench ability!!! (which is not as cool as Aftermath)

Have you had a similar situation with Pokemon you obtained via breeding?

Once with a ralts I wanted it to be modest with trace. But it had synchronize. Which is okay I guess because I still trained it =).

Yeah I had an everstone on my Gligar to get Jolly, and I didn't get jolly often, it was always female and didn't have sand veil >__< I had 2 boxes full of Gilgars. But now I have my perfect Gliscor :)

I didn't like B/W's new breeding mechanics, with the nature, ability and gender being randomly determined along with IVs. But I did manage to get the natures I wanted after some eggs.

I eventually got the right Pokemon from breeding, but not before filling boxes and boxes with unworthy specimens... most of which have since been released.

All the eggs I hatch are duds because I have no expectations. I play with whatever. No competitive battling for me, lol.

I'll just leave this here. cry cry

One time I was breeding for male Ferroseed because I was wanted them as they were all having Stealth Rock and Spikes for egg moves. I managed to hatch 14 female Ferroseed in a row before I finally hatched a male. EVen though it is a 50/50 chance of each gender. Needless to say that was a bad night.

From what I can remember, gender is usually the biggest problem for me. Nature and ability I don't really mind as much :)

 

[Charizard★]

It really irritates me when I can't find the right gender/ability/IV's when I breed, sometimes it doesn't take to long, others it takes a looonnnggg time D:

Why gender?

For me, it was gender, nature and ability!

 

[big NATE alpha]

It took me several hours to finally get a female Chimchar so I could breed Blaze Kick onto it for a friend. Somewhat understandable due to gender ratios, but I didn't think it would end up THAT bad...
Then there was the time I took quite a while to get a Huge Power Marill. Fun fun fun :P.
Or the fact that I still don't have the urge to breed my Durant and Ledian until I get Hustle. My bad experiences with Dual Abilities are making me a bit mad. I just want a Baton-Passing Hustle Durant for goodness' sake!

I agree. Certain Pokes it's no problem but then sometimes I can't just get the nature/IV's I was breeding for.

 

[Pika-power]

Most of the time I'm lucky, other times not so much.

 

[Rionix]

Nope. Not at all, not even the slightest.. My pokemon game hates me... it damn hates me.. It hates me too much that everytime I wish for some specific IV, nature, gender and ability, its always the opposite... :s

 

[SuperSaiyanII]

I don't mind gender and I usually get lucky with abilities but what always gets me is the natures. I could hatched a great IV'd Bagon only to find out it has a Modest or Sassy nature or something like that.
