Hello,
I have a few questions about this wonderfull game.
How in the world are you ever able to get 5 gp's.. I mean I'm breeding my bayleef (the one you get from the 3rd gym leader) so I can breed a father for my cyndaquill with 5 gp (so I can use the power seed and have a 5 gp cyndaquill). But the problem is I have a 3 gp nuzleaf, and the similarity with bayleef (to get a 4 GP) Is so high, so do I have to start a new breeding line to get that GP also that high so I can get that 5 gp father in the end.
Also I bred the entire time with a male bayleef and the power seed.. but... It never was used (in over 100 eggs)
Are the chances that low or is that just my luck?? I mean Reading in here I thought the odds were high, but as far as it goes it doesn't feel that way..
Thanks in advance,
Biornha
Power Seed can only be used on a male Pokémon, you probably gave it to the female. I can't think of any reason that it wouldn't be used for 100 eggs. It's still luck based I think, but over 100 is just absurd.
Btw I can usually breed a 5 GP from literally the same Pokémon (male and female) within 20 minutes or so. Here are some tips;
1) Get Sask Incense (someone sells it I don't remember where), it'll shorten the time to get an egg hilariously.
2) Get a Slugma with Flame Body (also sold fairly early into the game) to hatch eggs fast.
3) Try it on Pokémon with balanced male/female chance. If you try it on a %92.5 male Pokémon for example, your real challenge will be hatching a female, not GP.
4) If you have a 5 GP male, and a Pokémon you want compatible with it, Power Seed is king.
5) Similarity between Pokémon affecting stuff negatively is mentioned in-game, but it's absolutely trivial. Don't bother wasting time.
6) You can see the GP on eggs. I repeat, eggs have visible GPs. Don't hatch if it doesn't catch.
