hey can sum1 plz help =(

when i breed a sczizor (shiny) with an adament ditto (also shiny) and i use the everstone when i breed them i dont get any adament scythers. ive been breeding for a while now and so far no adament scythers. can sum1 tell me what wrong?

jigglyppuff8 April 12th, 2009 12:04 PM

Your ditto should be holding the everstone. That allows it to have a 50% chance of passing down its nature.
Also, don't expect any shiny eggs. Breeding shinies together doesn't increase the odds of that happening.

It must be the Scizor, sometimes the nature doesn't pass because one of the parents is affecting it not to. In this case its your Scizor.

Actually, the Ditto or the female of the breeding pair must hold the everstone, in order of the 50% chance of passing down the nature is going to work. If you want an Adamant Scyther baby, your Scizor must be Female with Adamant nature, or your Ditto must have adamant nature. This doesnt mean that you will get Adamant Scyther, just a good chance.

He stated that his adamant Ditto was holding the everstone and its not working.

With certain pokemon the nature will keep on being random. I know this because it has happened to me a lot. When I try using my Milotic with Azumarill holding an everstone, it will not pass its nature.

If you still need an adamant Scyther I will give you one, just PM me.

Matsu Razu April 20th, 2009 5:32 PM

Okay, I have an MALE Ivysaur [that knows Double Edge] and a MALE and FEMALE Slowpoke [that know Curse].
Is there any way to get a Slowpoke that knows both Double Edge and Curse? I need to get one so I can then breed it with a Snorlax so the Snorlax can have both of them as egg moves.
Sorry if the answer is obvious, I've looked into this a bit but it's still kind of confusing. I'm still kind of new to this... please reply if you know! ;x;

EDIT; Okay. Looks like Slowpoke isn't able to learn Double Edge. So how about this. How do I get Ivysaur's egg [Bulbasaur] to learn Curse? 0:


EDITEDIT; Nevermind, I figured it out! Well, at least I think I did... if not, I'll be coming back here for help. XD

Here's a few tips and things to remember about breeding. Other people may expand on this if they wish.

~ You can breed male and female pokemon to get an offspring of the female pokemon, at level 1.
~ In addition, you can use ditto to replace any of the pokemon above, but you will just get an offspring of the pokemon that isn't ditto.
~ Only male pokemon may pass down egg moves, TMs, HMs etc, but only as long as the female of the pokemon can learn the move itself.
~ Only females and Ditto have a 50% chance of passing down the nature, as long as the pokemon with the nature trying to be passed down is holding an everstone.

Should I keep this? :s

(speed could be better and the hp-type is fighting, not ice or fire :[
but the other stats are very nice.. difficult choice :s)

Vulpix Egg Move
 
This feels like the right section for this, but if not, feel free to correct me.

Does anyone know if their is a way to make sure a Vulpix will know Energy Ball when it hatches? If so please tell me.

Micro May 3rd, 2009 6:42 PM

Yes, there is a way.

Breed a female Vulpix with a male Nuzleaf, Seedot or Shiftry.
Nuzleaf, Seedot and Shiftry learn it through TM.

You can also do it through Smeargle, Vulpix or Ninetales already knowing it, Leafeon, Girafarig, and Grumpig.

Question if i get a t-tar with counter from emerald and transfer it over to platinum and breed it will the lavitar eggs learn counter

jigglyppuff8 May 4th, 2009 4:39 PM

No. Tyranitar is the ONLY one in the evolution line that can learn Counter.

ShinjisLover May 4th, 2009 4:39 PM

^ I don't think you can transfer things to Platinum from Emerald or otherwise.

Dang well thanks for all the help regardless

jigglyppuff8 May 4th, 2009 4:43 PM

I think you might be forgetting about the Pal Park, ShinjisLover.

ShinjisLover May 4th, 2009 4:51 PM

Ah, right, yeah I did. Well, the answer is still no either way. XD

Tephros May 5th, 2009 6:04 AM

My understanding is that for any offspring, it inherits 3/6 IVs from its parents. The first is any random IV from either parent, the second is any except HP, and the 3rd is any except HP or defense. This makes it harder to pass on HP and Defense IVs... is that correct?

jigglyppuff8 May 5th, 2009 12:51 PM

Yes. While the other 4 stats have a 19.55% chance of being passed down, Defense has a 13.78%, and HP has a 8.02%.

my recent egg hatching
 
Hello again, simple advice seeking really. I was given Riolu egg from the main story which recently hatched with the following, 'Adamant nature and Inner Focus'
I have seen alot of movesets with these two as priority, i was wondering if this pokemon was worth training as it hasnt got any breeding moves. Any advice on a moveset without egg/breeding moves would help thanks in advance.

Zebra Thunderhead May 8th, 2009 1:28 PM

It's really up to you. As stated in the rules, in game teams don't matter because virtually anything works.

Well if you are planning to use it in competitive battling then i highly suggest you check its ivs to see if they are good. If the rest are bad then you will have to rebreed anyways.
