breeding

[titus]

when breeding if the mother has the nature that you want and it's holding an everstone does it increase the chance of getting that nature?

 

[leafgreen386]

It's either the mother or father. I'm pretty sure you're right with it being the mother, though. And it's a 50% chance iirc. Just try it. If it works you'll notice it.

 

[Toilet Paper]

You have bad grammar.


Very bad....


Anyway, I don't think it matters if it's holding anything. Why did you say an Everstone?

 

[leafgreen386]

Er... his grammar isn't that bad. It's leagues above what many people use.

And he said everstone because in emerald it boosted the chances of the pokemon hatching with the nature >_>

 

[titus]

You better not be talking about my grammer! I said it has to hold an everstone because that's how it is! okay?! and leafgreen is always right!

 

[Toilet Paper]

You better not be talking about my grammer!

And you spelled Grammar wrong.....

Yes I know that leafgreen is always right. We made the posts at the same time, OK?
Whatever. Let's just end this with... a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! B00M! You're dead.

I just found out about this too. Does it even work in this game? I attatched an Everstone to a adamant, female larvitar who's in the Daycare with a Ditto. None of the eggs that have hatched have been Adamant. I'm either really inlucky, freakishly so, or I'm doing something wrong I cant figure out.

I have well over a hundred larvitars...

 

[titus]

wow, maybe i did that on purpose to create humor. just maybe.

i think that this works. like leafgreen said, i think that there is a 50% chance. maybe you should try it with a male larvitar rather than a ditto.

 

[titus]

umm, how would i go about getting ice punch on sneasel?

 

[SuichimoTheDragoon]

They've been experimenting with this over at Smogon. It does work in Diamond and Pearl with the same effectiveness. However, it doesn't work between pokemon of two diffenrent regions such as Japan and the USA.

 

[ss118]

As far as I know, the only way to have Ice Punch on a Sneasel is to use BP in emerald to do so with a move tutor. To breed it, teach it to a male, and then breed it with a ditto/ female sneasel/weavile.

Sux u have to go through the trouble, though

 

[titus]

omg, ill have to get someone to trade me one.

 

[the Marronator]

The everstone trick only works with ditto, and it doesn't matter if the ditto is male or female.

 

[titus]

well, i tried the everstone trick with a female adamant larvitar and three out of the four larvitars from the eggs i got were adamant.

 

[leafgreen386]

the Marronator: The trick does not only work with ditto. Furthermore, ditto is genderless. And it actually does matter if the ditto is "male" or "female." It only works when ditto is playing the role of a female, meaning the other pokemon must be either male or genderless.

lol like everything I'm putting into my guide I'm answering in various separate threads. I need to finish it so I can just c/p stuff to answer questions =P

Question, while we're on the discussion of breeding... Can Metagross (Psychic steel spider thing >_>) breed?

Hey leafgreen, if you get a chance, could you check out my teambuilding thread. Sorry to advertise, but I need the help.

Anyway, with breeding; In my breeding experience, which has been this week, I'm breeding a ditto with a male Flareon. The nature has been random every time. Neither pokemon are holding any items. The only other thing I'm doing is that I have a Slugma in my party with Flame armor, which is speeding up my breeding process to that of the rate of gerbils. I mean these two are bookin. >_>

I always thought the everstone was worthless, except for not evolving your pokemon. :-? Never realized it could help with breeding.

By the way, if anyone needs an Eevee, just ask. I have about 80. No females though. I've only gotten 1. >_<

 

[leafgreen386]

The only pokemon that cannot breed are babies and legendaries. I think there might be one or two exceptions, but I can't recall off the top of my head. Well, one exception is manaphy, although I can't think of any others right now.

Any other pokemon (gendered or genderless) can breed, although it may have to be with ditto.

And sure.

 

[O D I N]

Yeah... Ditto's a *****... >.>

 

[Radnortuws]

In my experience, a few of the things that have held true are such:

If it's a female and a male together, the female holding the everstone has a good shot at passing nature. Example- Male roselia + bold chansey @ everstone = lots of bold chanseys.

If there is a ditto involved, the ditto passes its nature. I've heard stuff about how the female would pass in this situation, but in my experience the ditto trumps. Let the ditto hold the everstone and you will get a good chance at ditto's nature being passed.

And most importantly, foriegn dittos definitely do not work. 40 eevees and much frustration later, i realize my modest japanese ditto is worthless. Yay. Its worth it to get a pokeradar string and just catch all the dittos you can, I know my adamant ditto will be lvl 100 without too much downtime.

Here's my breeding question.. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Pokemon breeding is very kinky stuff >_>

 

[O D I N]

Ditto is the ***** that no pokemon wants to sleep with... but like it or not... it's... It's gonna happen...

Naw... i think Ditto is more like K-Y jelly

 

[titus]
