How to Breed

Pokémon can be breed by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the Pokémon Daycare in Generation II and Generation III. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of opposite gender, share one Egg Group (see below), or one of them is Ditto. Legendary and baby Pokémon cannot breed. After returning to the Daycare, the old man will be outside (Generation II) or out of line with the fence (Generation III). The man will hand you an egg. After walking around for a while, the egg should hatch into a level 5 version of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain.

Passing Moves Down

The moves obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:

1. The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn at a level of 5 or lower.
2. The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move.
3. The Pokémon will start with any TM or HM moves that the father knows and the baby can learn by machine only.
4. The Pokémon will start with any Egg Moves that the baby can learn and the father knows.

The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more then four moves to learn, the moves will start being knocked off much like at the Pokémon Daycare.
