🪺Breeding
Breeding allows you to breed two Pokémon together and receive an offspring in the form of an Egg, which will eventually hatch into a level 1 Pokémon. Most players breed to target better IVs, specific abilities, Egg Moves, a preferred nature, or a specific regional form.

Getting Started
Select Parents
Enter the Nest submenu and select the two compatible parents you’d like to breed.

Parents must share at least one Egg Group, and be Male × Female or (Male/Female) × Ditto (see Parent Compatibility)
Wait for an Egg
After 12 minutes, an Egg will be produced in the Nest. Once the Egg is ready, you will receive a chat notification letting you know it can be collected from the Nest.

Breeding speed can be improved by certain ranks (see Rank Perks)
Hatch Egg
Eggs in your Incubator will eventually hatch into a level 1 Pokémon after you walk or fly a certain number of steps.

/breed
Opens the Breeding menu
/breed steps
Shows your current step rate (important for hatching)
/breed incubator
Opens your Egg Incubator
/breed storage
Opens your Egg Storage
/breed claimall incubator
Moves Eggs from your nests into your Egg Incubator
/breed claimall storage
Moves Eggs from your nests into Egg Storage
Parent Compatibility
Two Pokémon can breed if they are in at least one matching Egg Group, and a valid pair: Male × Female or (Male/Female/Genderless) × Ditto.
The produced egg will be the same species as the female, but at the bottom of the evolutionary chain.

Ditto Breeding
Ditto can breed with nearly all species, except those classified as Undiscovered
Ditto + Ditto produces a random species Egg, excluding Legendaries, Ultra Beasts, and Mythicals
Egg Hatching
Eggs in your Incubator hatch after you walk or fly a certain number of steps. Steps required depend on the species’ egg cycles. Hover over an Egg In your Incubator to view it's current cycle steps, cycles remaining, and hatch progress.
1 egg cycle = 128 steps
A “step” is the time it takes to walk the full length of two blocks at normal speed
If a Pokémon with Flame Body, Magma Armor, or Steam Engine is in your party, all Eggs in your Incubator hatch 2× faster.
Exceeding the speed limit of 20 steps/second prevents all steps accrued in the last second from counting. View your current step rate with the /breeding steps command.

Trait Inheritance
IVs
Both parents pass down 3 random IVs to the offspring (no overlaps).
Power Items force a specific inherited IV:
Power Weight → HP
Power Bracer → Attack
Power Belt → Defense
Power Lens → Special Attack
Power Band → Special Defense
Power Anklet → Speed
Destiny Knot
Offspring randomly inherit IVs for 5 distinct stats. For each inherited stat, the value is randomly chosen from one of the two parents. The remaining stat that is not inherited is randomly generated as normal.
Size Variations
Offspring growth is inherited based on the parents’ growth, with small variance allowing adjacent growth values.
Ability
If a mother is present: 80% chance to pass her ability (60% if it’s a Hidden Ability)
Male + Ditto: the male’s ability has a 60% chance to pass (applies to normal + HA)
If the ability is not passed, the offspring rolls a base ability for its species (which can still match the parent’s base ability).
Egg Moves
If either parent knows a species-specific Egg Move, the offspring inherits it. If either parent knows a move that can be taught via TM/HM, the offspring also inherits it if it can normally learn it via TM/HM.
Regional Forms
Offspring of Regional Form Pokémon hatch as the default (non-regional) form unless both parents share the same Regional Form.
If a Regional Form parent is holding an Everstone, that parent’s form is passed on.
Everstone
Everstone causes the offspring to inherit the holder’s Nature (and the holder’s Regional Form, if applicable).
If both parents hold Everstones, the offspring randomly inherits one parent’s Nature.
Shinies
Offspring have a 1/4096 chance to hatch with a Shiny texture. If both parents share the same Original Trainer (OT), this chance is increased to 6/4096.
Shiny chance is not increased by other modifiers (e.g., crown rank perks, server boosters, etc.).
