anyone know where I can get advice on breeding or someone that is looking for like assistant or something? I'm really interested in getting into this. I would probably being doing it on 5th gen. Anyone have any info or suggestions on who I could talk to?
There's the Day Care center in Route 3. Talk to the old lady inside and she'll let you leave up to 2 Pokemon with her.
Basics (to refresh your memory just in case):
-There are
16 egg groups. Some Pokemon belong to one of these egg groups, while others belong to two. If you leave 2 Pokemon of the same egg group (one male, one female), sometimes the Day Care man (outside the Day Care) will give an egg to you. You have a higher chance of getting an egg if one of the parents has a different ID number than the other or if both parents are the same species (at the same evolutionary stage).
-Any Pokemon can breed with Ditto (except for the Undiscovered egg group, which consists of legendaries, baby Pokemon and, for some odd reason, Nidorina and Nidoqueen). In that case, the offspring will be the pre-evolved form of the non-Ditto parent.
-If the male has an egg move(s) that the offspring can learn, then the baby will inherit the move (for example, Croagunk is able to learn Sucker Punch by level up. If that Croagunk is bred with a female Pawniard (both Pokemon are in the same egg group), then the baby Pawniard will be born with said move).
-If the female Pokemon has a hidden (Dream World) ability, then there is a 60% chance that the baby will be born with that ability. (won't work if one of the parents is Ditto)
-If the Day Care man does have an egg, leave an empty spot on your team, and take it from him. Now, you have to walk/bike a certain amount of steps. Each Pokemon egg takes a different amount of time to hatch.
Sorry if I missed anything; this is all I can remember at the moment
