Breeding Thread

I have access to a Larvesta FS. Any preference regarding gender/ability/nature?

Not in particular. I'll probably just breed the hell out of it anyway to get the IVs set. Still mass catching more dittos in the safari because I only have one, 3-IV ditto out of 20-30 -____-

I'll help you make a modest or timid eevee if you want.

nah, it's cool, when i give you the 5 IV one (if the sucker decides to ever pop up, i always get attk and no spattk, ugh) you can send over one of your modest/timid leftovers afterwards.

Mind trading me one? Though I wish they were Adamant. I'm working on a Baton Pass team, and Charizard X is one of the Pokes I want to try on my team.

Oh sure! Do I have you added?

Yeah. I'm Derek, you traded me a Gligar a few days ago.

Ah right. I'm ready to trade whenever. I just got on~

600 eggs of Caterpie

Masuda Method is suffering. I think I may have high blood pressure now, and I'm only at box 20.

I feel ya.

I lost count of the boxes of Goomy I hatched, but it's possibly more than 12. And Goomy take a lot longer to hatch than Caterpie. :c

Edit: I'm going to breed Acid Armor on Goomy because Curse is a lot of effort for something that's okay. Praying for good IVs before a shiny randomly pops out like that Tympole...
Moves will probably end up with : Infestation for attacking and DoT, Rest for healing, Acid Armor to cover for its decent Defense, and Toxic for racking up extra DoT.

Edit2: AAH NO, SKRELP CAN ONLY LEARN ACID ARMOR FROM GASTRODON!!
Edit3: I can't find Acid Armor in Gastrodon's movepool, though. This is so confusing...
Edit4: Oh dear, I have to breed Acid Armor onto Shellos then Skrelp then Goomy...

31/xx/31/31/31/xx

The most important stat didn't get passed. I usually run Butterfree as a choice scarf lead but still...

Edit: Decided to check the IVs



It's near perfect. Speed isn't 31 but it's higher than what I was expecting.

Successfully bred 5 IV Acid Armor Goomy with random natures. I just realized I need a Japanese female in order to MM for a shiny with AA. I don't think it can learn Counter and AA at the same time because they're taken from 2 different parents and no parent can learn both AA and Counter, so.. blah. Been breeding Counter Goomy for a while but it looks like I'll have to stop that.

Can't females also pass egg moves now? Male AA + female counter? Or am I wrong?

Females can pass moves.

Oh, no wonder there are Tyrunts with 3 Fang moves and DD flying around. Also got a Goomy with Poison Tail, Counter, and AA from GTS. Currently breeding AA and Counter Goomy with Bold nature.

Man. Breeding a Liligant is such a pain. Having no males complicates things a bit...

I have completed breeding my team!

I read that as "I've completely my breeding team!" and pictured you having a box full of dittos.

I much prefer this version.

So I just remembered that riolu is a baby pokemon so breeding it is a PAIN :\... stupid TCG.

I swear that riolu is the only baby pokemon that is never actually counted as a baby pokemon in the TCG :\

TCG screwed me up thinking that riolu is a normal (basic) pokemon and that lucario is a normal evolved pokemon (stage 1). :\

I keep reading TCG as trading card game.... making this comment very confusing.

That's exactly what it means. It's not mentioned as a Baby as a card yet others such as Elekid and Smoochum are.

which i hate, because you can't breed lucarios, like you can choose between elekids, magbys, azurrils, or their "basic" version
