...POKEMON BREEDING...

section one-basic breeding
basically to breed two pokemon,one must be a male and the other a female.ditto can also be used as a substitute for one partner.the contents of the egg would be the female partner.you also cannot breed relatives like father and daughter or mother and son,and especially not siblings.if you do that you will get bad eggs.bad eggs are eggs that take ages to hatch and freeze the game.legendaries with genders also cannot be bred unless you have hack codes.apon leaving your pokemon at the daycare,they will create an egg if they are compatible.the time taken depends on how much they like each other.it is also rare but possible to get two eggs at one time.these two eggs will hatch at the same time and turn out as twins,having identical stats usually.
section two-breeding for moves
breeding for moves is a frequently done task to create the ultimate pokemon.there are three terms for move breeding:inherited moves,tm/hm moves and egg moves.
inherited moves
inherited moves are also moves that this hatchling would learn later in life.for example,a treecko is born with leafblade, a move it should learn at level.25,which it inherited from its parents.
both parents must know the move you want.if this is difficult for you,then just use ditto.when both pokemon know the move,the baby is born with that move too.this is an important step in creating a pokemon that starts its life with a high-powered move that it would otherwise learn in later in life.inherited moves may also include moves the pokemon is capable of learning,but that move is not in it's moves list or in tm/hm.it is like torchic and flame wheel.torchic may be born with flame wheel if bred with quilava.usually,the father passes the move to the daughter and the mother to the son.
TM/HM moves
it is also known as passed moves.a little like inherited moves,this is used to "recycle" TMs. for example,a male treecko knows pound,leer and bullet seed(TM) while the female knows pound and leer.if the baby is a female,it will inherit the tm move bullet seed.do not ever use a ditto here!try it,they would both know the same moves and you knowthe rest!
egg moves
egg moves are hidden abilities inside pokemon that do not come into being by levelling up and cannot be taught via TMs.if you want to bring out the move of the hatchling,you must breed the female parent with a compatible male that learned the move through levelling up only.for example,treecko's egg move is dragonbreath and it cannot learn that normally.so,if you breed a female treecko with a male bagon that knows dragonbreath,the baby treecko will know dragonbreath!some pokemon have egg moves while others dont.those which do have more than three usually.rarer moves may take more rounds of breeding,so be patient!
nature breeding
these may be very important to contest co-ordinators who need the right natured pokemon to like the taste of the poffin,to succeed in thier desired contest aspect.a very nice example is feebas.it needs to have a calm or honest nature to like blue/dry pokeblock or poffin to become milotic.if it doesnt?then its not good!a method,though not 100% has been discovered and needs patience.
calm feebas male + calm feebas female=70% chance of calm feebas
calm feebas female holding everstone + docile feebas male=70% chance of calm feebas

good luck,coz you'll need it!
