    are there certain circumstances where it doesn't work?
    i don't understand why my ditto & jigglypuff "don't seem to like each other"
     
    it means they're compatible, but don't like eachother that much.
    i think it just means it'll take a little longer.
    something to do with natures.
     
    oOo thanks
    i tried male and female and then a wigglytuff and igglybuff but it just wasn't working
    i'll leave it a little longer though:]
    thanks
     
    It happened to me too.
    it says something else..
    when..
    they're not compatible..
    i just don't remember.
    trying for an all jigglypuff team?
     
    well my ditto has a "hasty" nature so i took one of my Jigglypuff with a "hasty" nature and it still isn't working.
    actually i'm trying to get a shiny jigglypuff haha
     
    iirc, Iggly won't breed.

    if it says anything but "They prefer to play with other pokemon rather than each other" then they SHOULD breed eventually...
     
    It has to do with your trainer ID. If you caught both Pokemon yourself, then they both have the same trainer ID number and then the game tells you your Pokemon will take longer to breed.

    If you caught Ditto on other game and sent it to breed on your cartridge you won't have any problems breeding them.
     
    you can't pass on the genes of shiny's.
    whoever told you that was..
    stupy.
    (stupid.)
    but, if you're trying for a shiny jigglypuff WITHOUT a shiny jigglypuff..
    ..well, good luck.
    by the way, nice avatar, it shows how addicted to jigglypuff you are...
    lol.
     
    no i'm not using a shiny ditto or jigglypuff
    i just really want a shiny jigglypuff
    it's the only thing i really care to do on my diamond game anymore lol

    yeh haha i am addicted to jigglypuff, he's my fav
    if he weren't on these games, i doubt i'd play lol
     
    ........

    Than you would love SSBM.
    Good luck on the shiny..
    Is your friend code REALLY 0000-0000-0000?
     
    shiny ditto won't breed thats the main problem i have because i have only 1 ditto and it's shiny its only given me 2 eggs and they still havn't hatched after 2 weeks! but i tried using an eevee which had the same nature as my ditto (i think) andim getting eggs every hour.also it works best if the levels are close together

    That's because Eggs don't hatch over time, they hatch depending on the amount of steps you take. If you're breeding, hop on your bike and ride up and down Solacion Town, theres a certain path that, up and down, is over 100 steps in total.

    u know theres a way to see jigglypuff in shiny

    type into google: pokemon marriland

    go to the one with the colums that say pearl pokedex
    click on that
    then in the quick search box you type: jigglypuff
    there should be a pic of a jigglypuff it's normal at the moment
    (dont worry u can change that)
    under where it says front 1 it should say: normal
    click on the arrow next to normal and select shiny the picture should then change to a shiny jiigly

    yes but i walked around sinnoh on a bike lots nbecuase i kind of um... forgot where i put my charazard.....

    ive ddone at least 20,000 steps with the egg on my counter so i just gave up and started with my riolu egg.

    To answer everything: "They don't seem to like each other" means they'll take time to breed, but they will eventually. And this has to do with IDs and species. If the Pokémon are from the same species and different ID, they take less time. If they just have one condition, they'll take regular time. If they have the same ID and they are different species (as in this case) they'll take more time, but they still will.
