'''The Crown Tundra''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|冠の雪原|かんむりのせつげん}}''' ''The Snowfield of the Crown'') is the second expansion in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Featuring the [[Crown Tundra]], the theme of the expansion is "exploration". It was released on October 23, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the expansion was released on October 22, 2020 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref><br />
<br />
It follows [[The Isle of Armor]].<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
After obtaining the [[Crown Pass]], the {{player}} can board a train at [[Wedgehurst]] to the [[Crown Tundra]]. Upon arriving, the player encounters an enthusiastic man named [[Peony]] and his daughter [[Peonia]]. Peony wants to take her daughter to an "adven-tour" with him, while Peonia would rather explore the [[Max Lair]]. On Peonia's request, the player battles Peony, who reveals himself to be a former {{type|Steel}} [[Gym Leader]]. Peonia uses the battle as cover to escape, and after the battle, Peony chases after her into the Max Lair. The player is forced to follow Peony into the Max Lair and take part in a [[Dynamax Adventure]], in which they cannot use their own Pokémon, due the dangerous amount of [[Galar]] Particles. After clearing it, Peonia approaches the player and requests they take her place in her father's "adven-tour". Upon hearing of this, Peony is initially distraught, but comes to accept the situation. The player and Peony set up their base at the town of [[Freezington]], with Peony appointing the player as the chief who does the exploring while he holds down the fort.<br />
<br />
The first adventure '''The Sacred Bonds of Soverign and Steed!''', is finding out about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Calyrex}}, which the townspeople also know as the "King of Bountiful Harvests". Upon restoring the statue of Calyrex in Freezington, the player ends up encountering Calyrex itself. By temporarily taking over Peony's body, Calyrex is able to [[Talking Pokémon|communicate with the player]], explaining that people these days treat it as a fairy tale, and that its powers have diminished notably ever since it was departed from its loyal steed, which is depicted in the statue the player restored. From Freezington's mayor, the player learns that the steed was in love with a certain type of carrot. Depending on the site where the player plants the [[Carrot Seeds]] they get, they can either grow a [[Shaderoot Carrot]] at the [[Old Cemetery]] to cause the {{type|Ghost}} {{p|Spectrier}} to appear, or an [[Iceroot Carrot]] at the [[Snowslide Slope]] to cause the {{type|Ice}} {{p|Glastrier}} to appear. The steed heads to Freezington and causes a ruckus there, and forces the player into a battle. Calyrex is forced to intervene when the steed attempts to attack the townsfolk, leaving behind a single strand of hair. With the help of Peony, the player is able to sow a replica [[Reins of Unity]] that Calyrex needs to tame its steed from the strand of the steed's hair and the [[Radiant Petal]] received from Calyrex. The player and Calyrex travel to the [[Crown Shrine]], where Calyrex successfully uses the Reins of Unity to tame its steed again and regain its full power. Calyrex then challenges the player to a battle and lets itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by them.<br />
<br />
In the next adventure ''' The Terrible Titans... Lurking Locked Away!''', the player tracks down and catches the [[Legendary titans]] {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} at the ruins across the Crown Tundra. Once all three have been caught, the player is able to access the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where they can encounter either {{p|Regieleki}} or {{p|Regidrago}}, depending on the pattern they enter in the ruins, and catch it as well. Reporting these captures to Peony concludes the adventure.<br />
<br />
In the third adventure '''A Legendary Tree of a Legendary Three!''', the player encounters the {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s of the [[Legendary birds]] at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]], but the sound of the player's [[Rotom Phone]] going off alerts them, and they scatter across the [[region]], becoming [[roaming Pokémon]]. {{p|Articuno}} roams around the Crown Tundra, {{p|Zapdos}} roams around the [[Wild Area]], and {{p|Moltres}} roams around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Catching all of them and reporting the findings to Peony concludes the adventure.<br />
<br />
During their adventures, [[Sonia]] will appear to track various footprints scattered across the Crown Tundra belonging to the [[Swords of Justice]]. Collecting 50 pairs of footprints from any single one of them allows Sonia to pinpoint the location where the player can catch them. Once the player has caught all three of them and shown them to Sonia, she will return to her laboratory at Wedgehurst, and {{p|Keldeo}} can be caught at [[Ballimere Lake]].<br />
<br />
After the player has concluded all three adventures, Peonia appears at the base and informs she's ready to go on an adventure with her father. Peony, out of any legends to explore, tries to tell his daughter that he'll come up with some new legends, which upsets her and causes her to go back the Max Lair, with Peony right on her heels, concluding the main story of The Crown Tundra.<br />
<br />
The player then finds an adventure description about [[Ultra Wormhole]]s that Peony doesn't even recall writing. Showing it to him will make finding and catching {{p|Necrozma}} at Max Lair the new adventure objective calling it. Once the objective has been achieved, the {{tc|Scientist}} running Max Lair reveals the adventure description to have been written by her. <br />
<br />
After the fourth adventure '''They Came From The Ultra Beyond!''' has started, [[Leon]] will contact the player, informing them of the new [[Galarian Star Tournament]], which they can participate at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. In this [[Multi Battle]] tournament, the player teams up with either [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] and eventually goes on to face and defeat Leon and [[Raihan]] or [[Piers]] and Raihan, respectively, in the finals. Afterwards, Leon declares the Galarian Star Tournament as a permanent new feature of Wyndon Stadium.<br />

Players can explore [[Pokémon Den]]s to find Legendary Pokémon from previous [[core series]] games and fight them in [[Max Raid Battle]]s using rental Pokémon in a co-op play mode called Dynamax Adventures. To reach the Legendary Pokémon, players must face off against three Dynamaxed Pokémon. The player can choose which way to go after defeating the Dynamaxed Pokémon before reaching the end. Damages such as loss of HP and PP is carried from the previous battle. Occasionally, the players will run into characters or Berries that can be used for healing. Although they can be encountered infinitely many times, only one of each Legendary Pokémon can be caught per game, unless the player refuses to take it.

<hr />
<div>'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===How to breed===<br />
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]] and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.<br />
<!--<br />
====Breeding compatibility====<br />
Insert chart here showing what the old man says, why, and what's the corresponding Egg rate, in each generation.<br />
--><br />
<br />
====Breeding rate====<br />

* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an Egg.<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."<br />
<br />
In Generation II, the compatibility is instead checked by interacting with Pokémon:<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It appears to care for <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It shows interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
:''"It has no interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same Defense [[IV]] and Same Special [[IV]] or 8 apart from each other'''<br />
:''"It's brimming with energy"''<br />
<br />
====Receiving the Egg====<br />
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 255 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an Egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an Egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|X|Y}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the Egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.<br />
<br />
====What will hatch====<br />
After walking around for a while, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.<br />

===Hatching Eggs===<br />
The time it takes for Eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest Egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of Egg cycles required for hatching.<br />
<br />
"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one Egg cycle count. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero or a negative number, the Egg will begin to hatch. If an Egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two Eggs can hatch at the same time.<br />
<br />
The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man (or in the Manaphy Egg's case, from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an Egg is received, the game automatically resets the Egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another Egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the Egg hatching process for every Egg accepted from the Day-Care Man (the Egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an Egg cycle from the Eggs, any Eggs ready to hatch upon this type of Egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next Egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an Egg. <br />
<br />
For example, a {{p|Gligar}} Egg requires 21 Egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an Egg hatching or Egg pickup. After each Egg cycle is completed, this Egg will drop one Egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the Egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the Egg from hatching, the Egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the Egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the Egg is stopped from another Egg pickup.<br />
<br />
There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bicycle]] (for example) would reduce the Egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing Egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} gives players a harder time hatching their Eggs due to the Bicycle having the same speed as the [[Running Shoes]]. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the Egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Gligar example, the Egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicycle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the Egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up Egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an Egg from the Day-Care Man one step after an Egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular Egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor Ability, and may only ever reduce the Egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar Egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the Egg, the Egg would reduce one Egg cycle count (down to 20), and the Egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-Care Man with only one step, the Egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man, and the Egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the Egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar Egg, reducing the Egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Passing moves down===<br />
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.<br />
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting stats===<br />
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.<br />
<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.<br />
<br />
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their Egg Group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same Egg Group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
<br />
From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if one of the parents is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three, though they are still each from differing stats and from a random parent.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting Natures===<br />
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or {{p|Ditto}}) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down Natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. <br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto. Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} the odds of passing down the Nature of the parent holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} is now 100%. If both parents are holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the odds are 50/50 between each of the parents' Natures. <br />
<br />
===Inheriting Abilities===<br />
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}). <br />
<br />
Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
When breeding with non-Hidden Ability females in [[Generation V]], there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby. For example, when breeding a female {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}}, the resultant {{p|Venonat}} has an 80% chance of having {{a|Compoundeyes}} rather than {{a|Tinted Lens}}. This change does not apply if Ditto is used as either parent.<br />
<br />
===Breeding for Shininess===<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an Egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now a fivefold increased chance (5/8192 or approximately 1/1639 as opposed to the regular chance of 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the {{Key|V|Shiny Charm}} was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a further 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if both parents are from different language games.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].<br />
<br />
Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed. <br />
* One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.<br />
* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon which can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy.<br />
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.<br />
* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===How to breed===<br />
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]] and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.<br />
<!--<br />
====Breeding compatibility====<br />
Insert chart here showing what the old man says, why, and what's the corresponding Egg rate, in each generation.<br />
--><br />
<br />
====Breeding rate====<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 87.8% when wielding an {{p|Oval Charm}} (has a value of 88).<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 39.3% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 40).<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an Egg.<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."<br />
<br />
In Generation II, the compatibility is instead checked by interacting with Pokémon:<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It appears to care for <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It shows interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
:''"It has no interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same Defense [[IV]] and Same Special [[IV]] or 8 apart from each other'''<br />
:''"It's brimming with energy"''<br />
<br />
====Receiving the Egg====<br />
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 255 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an Egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an Egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|X|Y}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the Egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.<br />
<br />
====What will hatch====<br />
After walking around for a while, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.<br />

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an Egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; The pairs are the following:<br />

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable Eggs. The Pokémon that is in these Eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.<br />

===Hatching Eggs===<br />
The time it takes for Eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest Egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of Egg cycles required for hatching.<br />
<br />
"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one Egg cycle count. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero or a negative number, the Egg will begin to hatch. If an Egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two Eggs can hatch at the same time.<br />
<br />
The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man (or in the Manaphy Egg's case, from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an Egg is received, the game automatically resets the Egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another Egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the Egg hatching process for every Egg accepted from the Day-Care Man (the Egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an Egg cycle from the Eggs, any Eggs ready to hatch upon this type of Egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next Egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an Egg. <br />
<br />
For example, a {{p|Gligar}} Egg requires 21 Egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an Egg hatching or Egg pickup. After each Egg cycle is completed, this Egg will drop one Egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the Egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the Egg from hatching, the Egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the Egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the Egg is stopped from another Egg pickup.<br />
<br />
There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bicycle]] (for example) would reduce the Egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing Egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} gives players a harder time hatching their Eggs due to the Bicycle having the same speed as the [[Running Shoes]]. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the Egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Gligar example, the Egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicycle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the Egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up Egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an Egg from the Day-Care Man one step after an Egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular Egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor Ability, and may only ever reduce the Egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar Egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the Egg, the Egg would reduce one Egg cycle count (down to 20), and the Egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-Care Man with only one step, the Egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man, and the Egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the Egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar Egg, reducing the Egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Passing moves down===<br />
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.<br />
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting stats===<br />
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.<br />
<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.<br />
<br />
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their Egg Group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same Egg Group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
<br />
From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if one of the parents is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three, though they are still each from differing stats and from a random parent.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting Natures===<br />
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or {{p|Ditto}}) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down Natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. <br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto. Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} the odds of passing down the Nature of the parent holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} is now 100%. If both parents are holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the odds are 50/50 between each of the parents' Natures. <br />
<br />
===Inheriting Abilities===<br />
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}). <br />
<br />
Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
When breeding with non-Hidden Ability females in [[Generation V]], there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby. For example, when breeding a female {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}}, the resultant {{p|Venonat}} has an 80% chance of having {{a|Compoundeyes}} rather than {{a|Tinted Lens}}. This change does not apply if Ditto is used as either parent.<br />
<br />
===Breeding for Shininess===<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an Egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now a fivefold increased chance (5/8192 or approximately 1/1639 as opposed to the regular chance of 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the {{Key|V|Shiny Charm}} was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a further 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if both parents are from different language games.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].<br />
<br />
Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed. <br />
* One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.<br />
* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon which can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy.<br />
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.<br />
* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />

<div>'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===How to breed===<br />
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]] and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.<br />

--><br />
<br />
====Breeding rate====<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 87.8% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 88).<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />

<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."<br />
<br />
This chance is raised to 39.3% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 40).<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an Egg.<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."<br />
<br />
In Generation II, the compatibility is instead checked by interacting with Pokémon:<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It appears to care for <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It shows interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
:''"It has no interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same Defense [[IV]] and Same Special [[IV]] or 8 apart from each other'''<br />
:''"It's brimming with energy"''<br />
<br />
====Receiving the Egg====<br />
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 255 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an Egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an Egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|X|Y}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the Egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.<br />
<br />
====What will hatch====<br />
After walking around for a while, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.<br />

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable Eggs. The Pokémon that is in these Eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.<br />

===Hatching Eggs===<br />
The time it takes for Eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest Egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of Egg cycles required for hatching.<br />
<br />
"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one Egg cycle count. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero or a negative number, the Egg will begin to hatch. If an Egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two Eggs can hatch at the same time.<br />
<br />
The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man (or in the Manaphy Egg's case, from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an Egg is received, the game automatically resets the Egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another Egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the Egg hatching process for every Egg accepted from the Day-Care Man (the Egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an Egg cycle from the Eggs, any Eggs ready to hatch upon this type of Egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next Egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an Egg. <br />
<br />
For example, a {{p|Gligar}} Egg requires 21 Egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an Egg hatching or Egg pickup. After each Egg cycle is completed, this Egg will drop one Egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the Egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the Egg from hatching, the Egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the Egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the Egg is stopped from another Egg pickup.<br />
<br />
There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bicycle]] (for example) would reduce the Egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing Egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} gives players a harder time hatching their Eggs due to the Bicycle having the same speed as the [[Running Shoes]]. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the Egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Gligar example, the Egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicycle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the Egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up Egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an Egg from the Day-Care Man one step after an Egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular Egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor Ability, and may only ever reduce the Egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar Egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the Egg, the Egg would reduce one Egg cycle count (down to 20), and the Egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-Care Man with only one step, the Egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man, and the Egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the Egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar Egg, reducing the Egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Passing moves down===<br />
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.<br />
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting stats===<br />
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.<br />
<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.<br />
<br />
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their Egg Group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same Egg Group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
<br />
From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if one of the parents is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three, though they are still each from differing stats and from a random parent.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting Natures===<br />
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or {{p|Ditto}}) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down Natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. <br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto. Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} the odds of passing down the Nature of the parent holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} is now 100%. If both parents are holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the odds are 50/50 between each of the parents' Natures. <br />
<br />
===Inheriting Abilities===<br />
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}). <br />
<br />
Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
When breeding with non-Hidden Ability females in [[Generation V]], there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby. For example, when breeding a female {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}}, the resultant {{p|Venonat}} has an 80% chance of having {{a|Compoundeyes}} rather than {{a|Tinted Lens}}. This change does not apply if Ditto is used as either parent.<br />
<br />
===Breeding for Shininess===<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an Egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now a fivefold increased chance (5/8192 or approximately 1/1639 as opposed to the regular chance of 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the {{Key|V|Shiny Charm}} was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a further 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if both parents are from different language games.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].<br />
<br />
Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed. <br />
* One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.<br />
* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon which can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy.<br />
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.<br />
* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===How to breed===<br />
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]] and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.<br />
<!--<br />
====Breeding compatibility====<br />
Insert chart here showing what the old man says, why, and what's the corresponding Egg rate, in each generation.<br />
--><br />
<br />
====Breeding rate====<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."<br />
This chance is raised to 87.8% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 88).<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
This chance is raised to 79.5% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 80).<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."<br />
This chance is raised to 39.3% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 40).<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an Egg.<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."<br />
<br />
In Generation II, the compatibility is instead checked by interacting with Pokémon:<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It appears to care for <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It shows interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
:''"It has no interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same Defense [[IV]] and Same Special [[IV]] or 8 apart from each other'''<br />
:''"It's brimming with energy"''<br />
<br />
====Receiving the Egg====<br />
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 255 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an Egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an Egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|X|Y}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the Egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.<br />
<br />
====What will hatch====<br />
After walking around for a while, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.<br />

===Hatching Eggs===<br />
The time it takes for Eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest Egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of Egg cycles required for hatching.<br />
<br />
"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one Egg cycle count. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero or a negative number, the Egg will begin to hatch. If an Egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two Eggs can hatch at the same time.<br />
<br />
The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man (or in the Manaphy Egg's case, from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an Egg is received, the game automatically resets the Egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another Egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the Egg hatching process for every Egg accepted from the Day-Care Man (the Egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an Egg cycle from the Eggs, any Eggs ready to hatch upon this type of Egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next Egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an Egg. <br />
<br />
For example, a {{p|Gligar}} Egg requires 21 Egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an Egg hatching or Egg pickup. After each Egg cycle is completed, this Egg will drop one Egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the Egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the Egg from hatching, the Egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the Egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the Egg is stopped from another Egg pickup.<br />
<br />
There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bicycle]] (for example) would reduce the Egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing Egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} gives players a harder time hatching their Eggs due to the Bicycle having the same speed as the [[Running Shoes]]. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the Egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Gligar example, the Egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicycle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the Egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up Egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an Egg from the Day-Care Man one step after an Egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular Egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor Ability, and may only ever reduce the Egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar Egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the Egg, the Egg would reduce one Egg cycle count (down to 20), and the Egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-Care Man with only one step, the Egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man, and the Egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the Egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar Egg, reducing the Egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Passing moves down===<br />
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.<br />
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting stats===<br />
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.<br />
<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.<br />
<br />
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their Egg Group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same Egg Group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
<br />
From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if one of the parents is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three, though they are still each from differing stats and from a random parent.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting Natures===<br />
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or {{p|Ditto}}) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down Natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. <br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto. Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} the odds of passing down the Nature of the parent holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} is now 100%. If both parents are holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the odds are 50/50 between each of the parents' Natures. <br />
<br />
===Inheriting Abilities===<br />
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}). <br />
<br />
Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
When breeding with non-Hidden Ability females in [[Generation V]], there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby. For example, when breeding a female {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}}, the resultant {{p|Venonat}} has an 80% chance of having {{a|Compoundeyes}} rather than {{a|Tinted Lens}}. This change does not apply if Ditto is used as either parent.<br />
<br />
===Breeding for Shininess===<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an Egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now a fivefold increased chance (5/8192 or approximately 1/1639 as opposed to the regular chance of 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the {{Key|V|Shiny Charm}} was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a further 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if both parents are from different language games.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].<br />
<br />
Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed. <br />
* One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.<br />
* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon which can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy.<br />
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.<br />
* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===How to breed===<br />
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]] and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.<br />
<!--<br />
====Breeding compatibility====<br />
Insert chart here showing what the old man says, why, and what's the corresponding Egg rate, in each generation.<br />
--><br />
<br />
====Breeding rate====<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."<br />
This chance is raised to 87.8% when wielding an Oval Charm (has a value of 88).<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
The chance of getting an Egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an Egg.<br />
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."<br />
<br />
In Generation II, the compatibility is instead checked by interacting with Pokémon:<br />
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It appears to care for <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It's friendly with <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''<br />
:''"It shows interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Different Egg Groups, same genders or Undiscovered group'''<br />
:''"It has no interest in <other's Pokémon nickname>"''<br />
* '''Same Defense [[IV]] and Same Special [[IV]] or 8 apart from each other'''<br />
:''"It's brimming with energy"''<br />
<br />
====Receiving the Egg====<br />
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 255 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an Egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an Egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|X|Y}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the Egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.<br />
<br />
====What will hatch====<br />
After walking around for a while, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.<br />

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an Egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; The pairs are the following:<br />

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable Eggs. The Pokémon that is in these Eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.<br />

===Hatching Eggs===<br />
The time it takes for Eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest Egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of Egg cycles required for hatching.<br />
<br />
"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one Egg cycle count. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero or a negative number, the Egg will begin to hatch. If an Egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two Eggs can hatch at the same time.<br />
<br />
The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man (or in the Manaphy Egg's case, from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an Egg is received, the game automatically resets the Egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another Egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the Egg hatching process for every Egg accepted from the Day-Care Man (the Egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an Egg cycle from the Eggs, any Eggs ready to hatch upon this type of Egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next Egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an Egg. <br />
<br />
For example, a {{p|Gligar}} Egg requires 21 Egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an Egg hatching or Egg pickup. After each Egg cycle is completed, this Egg will drop one Egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the Egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the Egg from hatching, the Egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the Egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the Egg is stopped from another Egg pickup.<br />
<br />
There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bicycle]] (for example) would reduce the Egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing Egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} gives players a harder time hatching their Eggs due to the Bicycle having the same speed as the [[Running Shoes]]. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the Egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Gligar example, the Egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicycle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the Egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up Egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an Egg from the Day-Care Man one step after an Egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular Egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor Ability, and may only ever reduce the Egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar Egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the Egg, the Egg would reduce one Egg cycle count (down to 20), and the Egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-Care Man with only one step, the Egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an Egg from the Day-Care Man, and the Egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the Egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar Egg, reducing the Egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Passing moves down===<br />
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.<br />
* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.<br />
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting stats===<br />
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.<br />
<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its [[stats]] from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.<br />
<br />
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their Egg Group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same Egg Group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
<br />
From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if one of the parents is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three, though they are still each from differing stats and from a random parent.<br />
<br />
===Inheriting Natures===<br />
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or {{p|Ditto}}) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down Natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. <br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto. Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} the odds of passing down the Nature of the parent holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} is now 100%. If both parents are holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the odds are 50/50 between each of the parents' Natures. <br />
<br />
===Inheriting Abilities===<br />
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}). <br />
<br />
Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
When breeding with non-Hidden Ability females in [[Generation V]], there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby. For example, when breeding a female {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}}, the resultant {{p|Venonat}} has an 80% chance of having {{a|Compoundeyes}} rather than {{a|Tinted Lens}}. This change does not apply if Ditto is used as either parent.<br />
<br />
===Breeding for Shininess===<br />
====Generation II====<br />
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an Egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.<br />
<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now a fivefold increased chance (5/8192 or approximately 1/1639 as opposed to the regular chance of 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the {{Key|V|Shiny Charm}} was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a further 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if both parents are from different language games.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].<br />
<br />
Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed. <br />
* One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.<br />
* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon which can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy.<br />
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.<br />
* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />

<br />
== Update; Pokémon not found in the wild, and Pokémon without held items ==<br />
<br />
Can we remove the ''only use this for Pokémon that legitimately appear in the wild'' statement? The job of this template to state what items a Pokémon holds in each game, and ''not'' what games each Pokémon is found in. If people want to know that, they can look in the availability sections. So if Lunatone holds an item in Emerald, it doesnt matter if it isnt found in the wild. Plus [[User talk:Vuvuzela2010/Template:HeldItems|my update for this]], including [[User talk:Vuvuzela2010/Template:Helditems/Event|the event one]] is complete, which allows us to clearly state if a Pokémon doesnt hold an item in any game. And I've added Black and White 2 to it, since we'll need them eventually :) <small><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:#007FFF; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span></small> 15:51, 26 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I'm in agreement with all of that.--[[User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 04:30, 27 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
::The reason that I did do that was so that it would make sense and cause less confusion. It's simply a merge of the "availability" and "held items" section. Not sure why it's an issue though.

::::I feel like it's reasonable for that correlation to be made though, I'm not sure. Can you give me an example in which Shellder can be found in LG for instance?

<br />
Old argument, but if you find a trainer with a Shellder in LG then it would have an equal chance to generate a pearl as it's held item. This can be seen by initiating a battle with the Chansey trainer on Victory Road. 5% of your soft resets will result in obtaining a very easy Lucky Egg. You can even force yourself to black out and farm the trainer for more eggs without losing them from resetting. This has been the case in all of the games, however it should be noted that percentages and availability does change. Croagunk in XY, for example, doesn't seem to have Black Sludge anymore.<br />

'''Torkoal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コータス''' ''Cotoise'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Torkoal is a tortoise-like, quadruped Pokémon. It has a large black rock-like shell with holes that glow with a red warmth. Its skin is a reddish brown with gray-black bands on its legs and neck. It has a long neck and its eyes seem permanently closed. Torkoal lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains,}} where it looks for coal. It uses the coal to fill the hollow spaces in its shell, and then burns it for energy. When it blows out smoke from its nostrils and the top of its back, it sounds like a locomotive horn. It blows out black smoke before fleeing and while being attacked.<br />
<br />

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} when [[level]]ed up with its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition high enough or when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} ([[Generation V]]).<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.<br />
<br />
As their [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamonds. This shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as [[Egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]<br />
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.<br />
<br />
Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, {{rt|119|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located. In Unova region Feebas can be found on any tile.<br />

==In the anime==<br />

===Major appearances===<br />
A Feebas appeared in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'' under the ownership of [[Haley]]. It was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Mimi Feebas.png|thumb|Feebas in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Mimi (Adventures)}}<br />
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Ruby}} obtained a Feebas by accidentally catching it while fishing. Thinking it was ugly, he kept throwing it back only for it to return every time until he decided to keep it (with "coaxing" from a swimmer who had plans for it), after which he named it {{Adv|Mimi}} and used it in the Beauty category of Pokémon Contests. During the flood caused by {{p|Kyogre}}, Ruby, in a fit of anger (caused by an argument he had with {{adv|Sapphire}}), lashed out at Mimi and kicked it out of his team for losing a contest (which turned out to be a ruse), and Mimi swam away in tears. When Ruby was attacked by [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] during the final battle she returned in order to help Ruby but in the process, was thrown aside and stomped upon, being called a pathetic, vile excuse for a Pokémon that didn't even deserve to exist. After Ruby apologized for his actions and declared it had inner beauty, which is what counts in his eyes, he attached the Ultra Rank Ribbon the Feebas never got to keep, and it evolved into {{p|Milotic}}.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===<br />
{{ma|Enta}} had a Feebas which evolved into a Milotic after the battle with [[Dome Ace Tucker]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===<br />
[[Mitsumi]] has a Milotic which evolved from Feebas.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Feebas has several similarities to {{p|Magikarp}}:<br />
** Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp, Feebas can learn moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.<br />
** Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with Magikarp. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.<br />
** Feebas and Magikarp have almost identical stats. However, Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Feebas and Magikarp are reversed.<br />
** They are also the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 200.<br />
** Both change appearance drastically after evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.<br />
* Feebas is the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.<br />
* Although Contest conditions are a hidden stat in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{game|Black and White|s}}, a Feebas that has maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] will still evolve in these games. The [[Prism Scale]], introduced in Generation V, was created due to the fact that there is no legitimate way to raise the Beauty of a Feebas created in the Generation V games, whereas with FireRed and LeafGreen, a trade to Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald was all that was required, and a haircut or grooming by Daisy Oak is all that is required in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.<br />
* The probability of finding a [[water tile]] with Feebas in [[Mt. Coronet]] is 1/132, with four possible fishing spots on 528 water tiles.<br />
** The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} is 1/72.66666..., with six possible fishing spots on 436 water tiles.<br />
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.<br />
* Feebas is the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Prism Scale]].<br />
** Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with maximum [[friendship]] during the day or night, respectively, or via the [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun or Moon Shard]], respectively; however, the Sun and Moon Shards are only available in {{Pokémon XD}}, which is a side series game.<br />
** However, many Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}, possibly the {{wp|largemouth bass}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "ugly duckling", treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Feebas is a combination of ''feeble'' (weak) and ''{{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}''. ''Feebas'' is also phonetically similar to ''phoebus'' (Latin for ''shining one''), possibly alluding to {{p|Milotic}}, its evolved form.<br />
<br />
Hinbass is a combination of 貧 ''hin'' (poor) and ''bass''. ''Hin'' may also come from the words ''hind'' (located at the rear) or ''hinder''.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />

== Battle against Bel - need confirmation from other games ==<br />
<br />
I've just added information about the battle that happens after receiving the 3rd badge. But, since I'm playing with Tsutarja (and in White version), only the information on my choice is granted. For the other two (four, if you count game version), I just assumed some patterns. Plz, when you reach that part, check if everything is correct. Also, I couldn't manage to make Haderia use it's fourth move, so I'm not certain if it have a fourth move. But, if it has, it's probably Helping Hand. Blow 03:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
Also, someone added the battle information to Bel's page considering it was in Hiun City, included the fourth move of Haderia and set all held items to none. Since the reference point was "Route 4 gate", it happens after defeating the gym leader and just before the battle with Cheren, I think it's better to consider it in Route 4. If anyone can confirm Haderia's fourth move and the held items, plz change them to match the information in her page. Blow 14:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Battle against Bel - need confirmation from other games ==<br />
<br />
I've just added information about the battle that happens after receiving the 3rd badge. But, since I'm playing with Tsutarja (and in White version), only the information on my choice is granted. For the other two (four, if you count game version), I just assumed some patterns. Plz, when you reach that part, check if everything is correct. Also, I couldn't manage to make Haderia use it's fourth move, so I'm not certain if it have a fourth move. But, if it has, it's probably Helping Hand. Blow 03:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
Also, someone added the battle information to Bel's page considering it was in Hiun City, included the fourth move of Haderia and set all held items to none. Since the reference point was "Route 4 gate", it happens after defeating the gym leader and just before the battle with Cheren, I think it's better to consider it in Route 4. If anyone can confirm Haderia's fourth move and the held items, plz change them to match the information in her page. Blow 14:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)<br />

The sprite for sand in the location box is showing a set of stairs from HG/SS {{unsigned|Stephen Keane}}<br />

Just ran into a wild Dwebble in the deep sands on W2. Any reason this little guy isn't on the chart?

Houndour’s fangs protrude out of its mouth, and its nose is dark in coloration. There are white bands on Houndour's ankles, and more rib-like ones on its back.

==Trivia==<br />
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Houndour and its {{p|Houndoom|evolution}}.<br />
* Despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it was actually native to [[Kanto]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The same is true for {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Slugma}}. <br />
* The only two games so far in which Houndour can be captured by the player before viewing the end credits are {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Platinum}}. <br />
* Houndour is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Houndour may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other legends of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndour is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Dobermann}}s and {{wp|Rottweiler}}s.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Houndour is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''dour'' (''sullen'' or ''severe'').<br />
<br />
Delvil is a corruption of ''{{wp|devil}}''.<br />

'''Houndoom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘルガー''' ''Hellgar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Houndour}} starting at [[level]] 24.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Having the same coloration as its pre-evolved form, {{p|Houndour}}, Houndoom has a taller build with a longer snout. There are two white bands at each of Houndoom's ankles instead of just one, as well as three bands on its back instead of two. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail that ends in an arrowhead and visible claws on its feet. It appears to have a collar with a small skull pendant and a pair of curled horns, but no discernible ears.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Female Houndoom have smaller horns.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Houndoom's abilities are the same as Houndour's, only stronger. As a matter of fact, legends claim that anyone that gets burned by Houndoom's {{t|Fire}} attacks will never be healed and that Houndoom's {{m|howl}}ing was once claimed to be the call of the {{wp|Grim Reaper}}. Its fire comes from toxins burning in its gut, this also gives its fire a foul odor.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Houndoom are generally very protective, alert, headstrong, intelligent, and very focused. They can be overly aggressive, but only to protect themselves, their young, their territory, or their owner. However, when properly trained, they can be extremely loyal, loving, and caring Pokémon, as well as very good pets. In a Houndoom pack, the Houndoom with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Houndoom choose their leader by fighting amongst themselves.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]<br />
Although Houndoom inhabit deep woods, they may also appear near volcanic areas. Their dark fur allows them to blend in at night.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
Houndoom is a predatory Pokémon that preys on smaller mammalian Pokémon. It hunts with the Houndour and Houndoom in its pack.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Houndoom and its {{p|Houndour|pre-evolution}}.<br />
* Houndoom has three different sprites in each [[Generation II]] game. It also shares this same trait in [[Generation IV]] games. This makes it one of the few Pokémon with this distinction.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Houndoom may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other legends of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndoom is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Dobermann}}s.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Houndoom is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''doom''. <br />
<br />
Hellgar is a combination of ''{{wp|hell}}'' (alluding to its dark and fiery nature, as a hellhound) and ''gar'' (a sound that dogs make).<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Houndour and its {{p|Houndoom|evolution}}.<br />
* Despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it was actually native to [[Kanto]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The same is true for {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Slugma}}. <br />
* The only two games so far in which Houndour can be captured by the player before viewing the end credits are {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Platinum}}. <br />
* Houndour is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Houndour may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other legends of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndour is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Dobermann}}s and {{wp|Rottweiler}}s.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Houndour is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''dour'' (''sullen'' or ''severe'').<br />
<br />
Delvil is a corruption of ''{{wp|devil}}''.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />

An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up. The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved. For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.<br />

<br />
A DeepSeaScale and DeepSeaTooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] where having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.<br />
<br />
A King's Rock, two DeepSeaTeeth, and two DeepSeaScales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash got a Razor Fang from [[Gary Oak]] and he used it to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.<br />
