Setting what a Pokémon's eggs will hatch into?
This is a little bit preemptive, but since it's going to be relevant to my hack, I was wondering how the Generation III games determine what Pokémon will be placed in an egg laid by any given Pokémon, since this obviously is a different species from that of the Pokémon laying the egg the majority of the time. I get the impression it would be a little convoluted to set it up to trace the Pokémon's evolution line backwards to find the earliest stage, but neither datacrystal nor Bulbapedia's Pokémon base stats data structure page seem to have any info on how that's determined.
What precautions, if any, do I need to take to make sure that eggs laid by newly-added Pokémon will hatch into the proper base form Pokémon? |
Bottom of the evolution line of the female, ie a male Delcatty and female Wailord will yield a Wailmer.

I mean, I know the end result of how it works; what I'm asking is, is there anything special I'd need to do, when hacking, in order to ensure that newly-added Pokémon would function that way as well?
Like, I know that it does work that way, but how is it working that way programmed, I guess is what I'm asking. |

I've always generally wondered that myself and would like to know, as well. |
Okay, so what I'm getting here is that the game will just trace the evolution line back to the base form by itself and I don't need to go out of my way to set that up to work correctly; it comes as a set with the evolution data.
Thanks a bunch! |

It's good to know the game just does that automatically, though! I guess I was kinda expecting each Pokémon to have the species ID of what an egg laid by it would hatch into somewhere in its data block or something. |
