I think I've encountered some bug-like behavior. I'm working under the assumption that the probability to getting a Pokemon with higher GP than the lowest GP parent is (100-genetic similarity)%, e.g. for Pokemon that are 18% similar, the probability is (100-18)% = 82%. I've been trying to breed a GP 5 Gardevoir, but my Ralts and Solosis do not produce higher GP outcome (5 trials, 18% genetic similarity). Furthermore, the same female Ralts and a male Ralts weren't able to produce higher GP offspring either, despite having to be a certainty according to my understanding (4 trials, 0% similarity).
Am I seeing a bug, or is the example in the docs just a bit too convenient?
To get an increased GP both parents need to evolve at least once if they can evolve. The only exception is using power seeds or pokemon with the special heart symbol.
