These held items are normally used to speed up EV training a Pokémon, but in breeding they force one certain IV value to be passed down. Pokémon from high level Raids have a good chance to have a few IVs at 31.Īnother way to influence IV breeding is by using power items. To maximise the chance for breeding high IV Pokémon, it is advantageous to have both parents with as many good IVs as possible. Sp.Def was the random value and was set to 31 for this hatched Pokémon. This would be the perfect case scenario and it is theoretically possible, although a lot of luck is needed. Speed was left as a random new value from neither 1 or 2. from 1 or 2, Defense from 1, Attack and Sp.Att. You can find a list of breeding items and where to find them here.Īs you can see, 5 of the values were chosen from either one of the parents. One stat will always be random for a hatching Pokémon, so getting a Pokémon witch 6 IVs at 31 is still a matter of luck. Giving one of the Pokémon the Destiny Knot will guarantee 5 IV values, chosen at random from both parents, to be passed down. When breeding for good IVs, one item is absolutely mandatory: the Destiny Knot. In game you will not see numbers but evaluations like “Best” for 31 or “Fantastic” for 30. IVs can lie anywhere between 0 and 31, and determine how high your Pokémon’s stats can get overall. Also you can only check your Pokémon’s IVs after beating the main story, so this will be more relevant for post-game breeding. IVs are innate stat values that cannot be changed before beating the Champion and training the Pokémon to level 100. Hidden abilities can never be obtained if none of the parents have it. Same for males, but again, only when paired with a Ditto. There only is a 60% chance for a female to pass it down. Not only are they extremely rare to get in the first place (more common in some Raids), but passing them down is also less likely. Males can only pass down their ability when paired with a Ditto. Females have an 80% chance to pass down their ability when bred with a Ditto or a male. The same goes for breeding a Pokémon with a Ditto. So how can you influence the outcome? For normal abilities, when breeding a male and a female of the same Pokémon with different abilities, only the female has a chance to pass it down. (In some cases, Pokémon have only one normal ability, for example starter Pokémon, or sometimes no hidden ability). Since Pokémon only have one of 3 possible abilities, 2 normal ones and one hidden ability, it is relatively easy to get the one you want without doing anything special. But there are some things that you can do to influence the outcome.
In Sword and Shield you can also change a Pokémon’s nature with Mints, but they are only obtainable after beating the Champion and are relatively expensive.īreeding for the right ability is a little bit more random and luck based. The Pokémon holding it will pass down its nature 100% of the time.
Everstones usually prevent a Pokémon from evolving, but for breeding they are one of the most important items to have. But as long as one of the Pokémon in the daycare has the desired nature, you can guarantee it being passed down to all of the Pokémon you are breeding.Īll you need is an Everstone. Normally the nature of a hatched Pokémon is completely random. So if you want to use a Pokémon in a certain way, the correct nature will be very important. In total there are 25 different natures, 5 of which are neutral. Every nature either raises one stat by 10% (marked red in game) but dropping another by 10% (marked blue in game) or leaves all stats unchanged. Natures are very important when it comes to breeding the perfect Pokémon. This article will focus on some more advanced breeding tips and revolves more around the outcome than just speed and efficiency alone.Īll of the above will be very important for breeding competitive Pokémon, which I will cover in a separate Competitive Breeding Guide. But there can be more to it than just multiplying a Pokémon.
