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

Exceptions
Ditto can breed with any Pokémon except
Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group.
This compatibility is not reliant on gender,
so male, female, and genderless Pokémon
can all breed with Ditto. This is the only
way that genderless Pokémon can
reproduce.
If a Ditto breeds with another Ditto, the
resulting Egg will be a random species
of Pokémon. It is possible for Pokémon
not normally found inside Eggs to be
inside of this Egg, such as evolved
Pokémon, but Legendary Pokémon
cannot normally hatch out of these
Eggs.
Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group
cannot breed with any Pokémon, including
Ditto and other Pokémon in the
Undiscovered Egg Group.
Certain Pokémon, such as Snorlax, will not
produce their base forms unless the
mother is holding a certain incense.
Without the incense, these Pokémon will
produce the evolutionary forms
immediately following their base forms
(e.g., breeding a Snorlax without a Full
Incense will produce an Egg containing
another Snorlax instead of a Munchlax).
These Pokémon and their required
incenses are listed below.
Chansey, Blissey→Happiny: Luck
Incense
Chimecho→Chingling: Pure Incense
Mantine→Mantyke: Wave Incense
Marill, Azumarill→Azurill: Sea Incense
Mr. Mime→Mime Jr.: Odd Incense
Roselia, Roserade→Budew: Rose
Incense
Snorlax→Munchlax: Full Incense
Sudowoodo→Bonsly: Rock Incense
Wobbuffet→Wynaut: Lax Incense
If a Nidoran♀ breeds or a Nidoran♂ ,
Nidorino, or Nidoking and a Ditto breed, the
resultant Egg may contain either
Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂ .
If an Illumise breeds or a Volbeat and a
Ditto breed, the resultant Egg may contain
either Illumise or Volbeat.

Getting started
To
breed
any

Daycare interface.

Pokémon, a day care is required. By default a

player has 3 day care boxes which can be
changed via config or sidemod. After placing
down a day care, two Pokémon from the
player's party can be moved into the day care
interface.

Breeding process
In order for two compatible Pokémon to breed,
they must be supplied with the neccessary
item requirements. There are three different
item requirements for each type by default. A
Pokémon's item requirements will only depend
on its primary typing (E.g. Gastly will only
require the items from the ghost category). If
you were to breed two different pairs of
gastly's you would need to get two times the
amount of items then if you were to only breed
one pair.

The item requires corresponding to each type

are as follows:

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Fire Water Grass

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Electric Normal Poison

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Ground Ice Dark

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Bug Psychic Steel

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Flying Ghost Fighting

[Expandir] [Expandir] [Expandir]

Dragon Fairy Rock

Once both Pokémon have been supplied with

the necessary items, the breeding process will
begin by selecting the green tick. The process
by default takes a total of 1.5 hours.

You may leave the daycare until it has finished

the process. Meanwhile, you can check open
your inventory to check how your breedings are
going.

requirements of a specific type and the time

required for each Pokémon can be modified
using datapacks.

It is possible to skip a single requirement for a

Pokémon using Isi's Copper Hourglass. You can
use Isi's Silver Hourglass to skip 25% of the
timer for a Pokémon to breed. Since 9.0.7 you
can only obtain Isi's Gold Hourglass
(Completes all requirements and timers) and
Isi's Diamond Hourglass Completes all
requirements and timers for three of the day
care boxes giving them perfect IVs, maximum
happiness and a ribbon) through cheats.

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

Regular Egg Togepi Egg

After a sufficient amount of steps, the Egg will

hatch. A "step" in regards to Egg hatching is
equivalent to the time it takes to walk the full
length of two blocks at normal speed. Methods
of boosting traveling speed, like mounting a
Pokémon, will increase the rate that Egg steps
are deducted at. The amount of steps needed
for an Egg to hatch depends on the species of
Pokémon inside the Egg and the config setting
for "stepsPerEggCycle" in the Pixelmon config
file. If a Pokémon with either Flame Body or
Magma Armor or Steam Engine is in the
player's party, any Eggs in the player's party
will hatch twice as fast. This effect does not
stack if multiple party Pokémon have Flame
Body or Magma Armor.

Once the Egg is hatched, a level 1 Pokémon will

be revealed. The player can then use the
newly-hatched Pokémon in battle and train it
like a regular Pokémon.

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

IVs
Combined, the two parents will pass down
three random IVs to their offspring. These
IVs will not overlap with each other (i.e., the
mother and father cannot both pass the
same IV).
Certain held items can influence the
inherited IVs. These held items are detailed
in the held items section below.

Poké Ball
If two Pokémon of the same species are
bred (regardless of form), the egg will have
an equal chance of inheriting either
parent's Poké Ball. Otherwise, the Poké Ball
that the mother is in will be passed to her
offspring unless the Poké Ball is a Master
Ball or a Cherish Ball.
In genderless breeding if a Pokémon in the
right slot of a Day Care has an inheritable
Poké Ball (any Poké Ball aside from Master
Ball or a Cherish Ball) the egg will inherit
the corresponding Poké Ball. Otherwise,
the offspring would inherit Poké Ball
matching with the Pokémon in the left slot.

Growth
The growths of offspring are inherited from
their parents. Growth inheritance is
determined by the growth between the
mother's and father's growths (e.g.,
ordinary is directly between runt and giant),
with some random variance allowing the
two growths directly next to the
determined growth (using the previous
example, small and huge growths would be
possible as well). This slight variance in
growth will occur even if both parents have
the same growth. This is the only way to
obtain Pokémon that are microscopic or
ginormous, requiring two Pokémon that are
pygmy or two Pokémon that are enormous
(respectively) to breed together. Each
offspring from these Pokémon will having a
⅓ chance of inheriting the corresponding
extreme growth stats.

Ability
The mother has an 80% chance of passing
her Ability to her offspring, unless it's a
hidden ability, in which case it will have a
60% chance to be passed to her offspring.
The male's Ability has no bearing on the
inherited Ability if a mother is present.
If a male Pokémon breeds with a Ditto, the
male Pokémon's Ability has a 60% chance
of being passed on. This applies to normal
abilities as well as hidden abilities. The
Ditto's Ability does not affect this chance.
If the Ability is not passed to the offspring,
the child randomly gains one of the base
Abilities for its species. This can result in
regaining the parent's Ability if the parent
was passing down a base Ability.

1 chance (by default) of obtaining a

The 150
hidden Ability is not present when breeding. If
neither of the statements above allow the
inheritance of a hidden Ability, there is no
chance that the offspring will have hidden
Abilities.

Note: The inheritance of Abilities depends

entirely on the Ability slot of the Pokémon
rather than the Ability itself. If all Abilities are
obtained legitimately and not edited with
external NBT editing tools, this is not an issue,
but improperly editing the Abilities of Pokémon
without changing their Ability slots will cause
breeding mechanics to use the original,
unedited Ability when determining inheritance.
More information can be found here.

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

If either the father or the mother (or both)

know certain species-specific "Egg
moves", their offspring will inherit these
moves. The majority of these moves are
unable to be learned by the Pokémon
except with this method.
If the father knows any moves that can be
taught via TMs or HMs, the offspring will
inherit these moves if they are able to
normally learn these moves via TM/HM.
If both the mother and father know moves
that are in their offspring's level up
movepool, the offspring will inherit these
moves. This may cause the offspring to
know moves that it would normally only be
able to learn at higher levels.

If more than four moves fit the criteria above,

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

If a Pikachu or a Raichu breeds while holding a

Light Ball, the offspring Pichu will know the
move Volt Tackle regardless of whether the
parents know the move.

Held items
Several held items influence aspects of the
parent Pokémon that are passed to the
offspring Pokémon.

Destiny Knot: If held by either parent, five

IVs will be passed from the parents to the
offspring instead of three.
Everstone: If held by a parent, the
offspring's Regional Forms and Nature will
always match the nature of the parent
holding the Everstone. If both parents are
holding Everstones, the offspring will
randomly inherit one of the parents'
Natures.
Power Items: If held by a parent, the
offspring will always inherit the IV from that
parent that corresponds to the power item.
If the two parents are each holding a
different power item, both of them will pass
down their corresponding IVs. If both
parents are holding the same type of power
item, either one of them will be randomly
chosen to pass on the corresponding IV.

HP Power Weight
Attack Power Bracer
Defense Power Belt
Special Attack Power Lens
Special Defense Power Band
Speed Power Anklet

Regional Form Breeding

When breeding Regional Form Pokémon, the
offspring will always be the default non-
regional form of that Pokémon, unless a parent
with a Regional Form is holding an everstone, in
which case the form of the parent holding the
everstone will be taken. The following
information is current as of version 9.0.7.

Other
If the parents have differing original
Trainers, their offspring have six times the
normal chance of being Shiny. This stacks
with the Shiny Charm's threefold boost for
a maximum 0.44% chance of the child
being Shiny.
