🐉Breeding

Here you will find information about our breeding system.

Getting Started

You can breed Pokémon to build better teams. To breed Pokémon on PokéWild, you will need a ranch. You can craft a ranch with /recipebook ranch.

To set up your ranch, you will fist need to check out /ranchwiki to search for the Pokémon type you want to breed.

You will then build a 4x4 grid below the ranch using the base blocks listed. Finally, place 8 bonus blocks around the ranch at the same Y level.

Your ranch is now set up and ready to use!

Requirements

In general, two Pokémon of opposite genders are required to breed. They also must both be part of the same egg group. This process will produce an egg containing a level 1 Pokémon that is the base evolutionary form of the mother's Pokémon species (e.g., a mother Venusaur will produce a Bulbasaur egg).

Exceptions

Ditto can breed with any Pokémon except Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group. This compatibility is not reliant on gender, so male, female, and genderless Pokémon can all breed with Ditto. This is the only way that genderless Pokémon can reproduce.

If a Ditto breeds with another Ditto, the resulting egg will be a random species of Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon cannot normally hatch out of these eggs.

Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group cannot breed with any Pokémon, including Ditto and other Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group.

Certain Pokémon, such as Snorlax, will not produce their base forms unless the mother is holding a certain incense. Without the incense, these Pokémon will produce the evolutionary forms immediately following their base forms (e.g., breeding a Snorlax without a Full Incense will produce an egg containing another Snorlax instead of a Munchlax). These Pokémon and their required incenses are listed below.

• Chansey, Blissey → Happiny: Luck Incense

• Chimecho → Chingling: Pure Incense

• Mantine → Mantyke: Wave Incense

• Marill, Azumarill → Azurill: Sea Incense

• Mr. Mime → Mime Jr.: Odd Incense

• Roselia, Roserade → Budew: Rose Incense

• Snorlax → Munchlax: Full Incense

• Sudowoodo → Bonsly: Rock Incense

• Wobbuffet → Wynaut: Lax Incense

If a Nidoran (female) breeds or a Nidoran (male), Nidorino, or Nidoking and a Ditto breed, the resultant egg may contain either Nidoran (female) or Nidoran (male).

If an Illumise breeds or a Volbeat and a Ditto breed, the resultant egg may contain either Illumise or Volbeat.

Hatching

After claiming an egg, the player must walk around with the egg until it hatches. An egg will not hatch or become closer to hatching while it is stored in the PC. In an egg's summary screen, instead of the usual information, there is only an indicator of roughly how long the egg will take before it hatches. Eggs cannot participate in battle.

After a sufficient amount of steps, the egg will hatch. A "step" in regards to egg hatching is equivalent to the time it takes to walk the full length of two blocks at normal speed. Methods of boosting traveling speed, like mounting a Pokémon, will increase the rate that egg steps are deducted at. The amount of steps needed for an egg to hatch depends on the species of Pokémon inside the egg.

Inheritance

Parents can pass on several traits that they possess to their offspring.

IVs

Combined, the two parents will pass down three random IVs to their offspring. These IVs will not overlap with each other (i.e., the mother and father cannot both pass the same IV).

Certain held items can influence the inherited IVs. These held items are detailed in the held items section below.

Poké Ball

If two Pokémon of the same species are bred (regardless of form), the egg will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's poké ball. Otherwise, the poké ball that the mother is in will be passed to her offspring unless the poké ball is a Master Ball or a Cherish Ball.

In genderless breeding, if a Pokémon in the right slot of a ranch has an inheritable poké ball (any poké ball aside from Master Ball or a Cherish Ball), the egg will inherit the corresponding poké ball. Otherwise, the offspring would inherit poké ball matching with the Pokémon in the left slot.

Ability

The mother has an 80% chance of passing her ability to her offspring unless it's a hidden ability, in which case it will have a 60% chance to be passed to her offspring. The male's ability has no bearing on the inherited ability if a mother is present.

If a male Pokémon breeds with a Ditto, the male Pokémon's ability has a 60% chance of being passed on. This applies to normal abilities as well as hidden abilities. The Ditto's ability does not affect this chance.

If the ability is not passed to the offspring, the child randomly gains one of the base abilities for its species. This can result in regaining the parent's ability if the parent was passing down a base ability.

The 1/150 chance (by default) of obtaining a hidden ability is not present when breeding. If neither of the statements above allow the inheritance of a hidden ability, there is no chance that the offspring will have hidden abilities.

Egg Moves

If the mother or father have certain moves, their offspring could potentially inherit these moves despite not normally being able to learn them.

If either the father or the mother (or both) know certain species-specific "egg moves", their offspring will inherit these moves. The majority of these moves are unable to be learned by the Pokémon except with this method.

If the father knows any moves that can be taught via TMs or HMs, the offspring will inherit these moves if they are able to normally learn these moves via TM/HM.

If both the mother and father know moves that are in their offspring's level up movepool, the offspring will inherit these moves. This may cause the offspring to know moves that it would normally only be able to learn at higher levels.

If more than four moves fit the criteria above, the moves that the offspring will have are decided using the above list as a hierarchy; i.e., egg moves have priority over the other criteria. If there are more than four potential egg moves to be inherited, the mother's egg moves are prioritized.

Held Items

Several held items influence aspects of the parent Pokémon that are passed to the offspring Pokémon (except Mirror Herb).

• Destiny Knot: If held by either parent, five IVs will be passed from the parents to the offspring instead of three.

• Everstone: If held by a parent, the offspring's nature will always match the nature of the parent holding the everstone. If both parents are holding everstones, the offspring will randomly inherit one of the parents' natures.

EV Training Items

EV training items can also be used for breeding. Making a parent hold any of these items will pass the specific IV to its offspring. The EV training items have the following effects:

• Power Bracer: When held, the parent will pass its Attack IV stat to the offspring.

• Power Belt: When held, the parent will pass its Defense IV stat to the offspring.

• Power Lens: When held, the parent will pass its Special Attack IV stat to the offspring.

• Power Band: When held, the parent will pass its Special Defense IV stat to the offspring.

• Power Weight: When held, the parent will pass its HP IV stat to the offspring.

• Power Anklet: When held, the parent will pass its Speed IV stat to the offspring.
