How to Use the Breeding Calculator
Enter the two Pokemon you want to breed in the parent slots. The calculator automatically checks egg group compatibility, showing whether these Pokemon can produce eggs together. You’ll see which egg moves the offspring can learn from both parents. The IV inheritance calculator shows which stats can be passed down and the probability of getting specific IV combinations. Select held items like Destiny Knot or Everstone to see how they affect breeding results.
Breeding Calculator Features
Our tool includes egg group information for all Pokemon from Generation 1 through Generation 9, covering every breedable Pokemon in the series. The IV inheritance calculator shows the mathematical probability of breeding Pokemon with perfect IVs (31 in each stat). Ability inheritance probabilities are displayed, including the chance of passing hidden abilities when breeding with Ditto.
The egg move planner shows the complete chain breeding path needed to get specific egg moves on Pokemon that can’t learn them naturally. Nature inheritance is clearly explained, showing when Everstone guarantees nature passing. You can plan breeding chains involving multiple Pokemon to transfer egg moves across species within the same egg group.
The calculator explains gender ratios and how they affect breeding success rates. After breeding, use our IV calculator to verify your offspring’s Individual Values. It shows which Pokemon need which items to breed successfully and calculates the approximate number of eggs needed to achieve your desired results.
Why Use a Breeding Calculator?
Competitive Pokemon breeding is complex, with mechanics like IV inheritance, ability passing, and egg move chains that aren’t obvious without reference materials. Our calculator simplifies this process, showing you exactly which Pokemon to breed and in what order. This saves hours of trial and error that would otherwise waste your time hatching incorrect eggs.
The tool helps you plan efficient breeding chains, minimizing the number of breeding steps needed to get your perfect Pokemon. You’ll know before starting whether your planned combination is even possible, avoiding frustration from attempting impossible breeding scenarios.
Perfect For
The breeding calculator is essential for competitive Pokemon players breeding perfect IV Pokemon for ranked battles and tournaments. Shiny hunters using the Masuda Method track breeding pairs and egg probabilities. Players completing Living Dex collections use it to verify breeding requirements for every species. Challenge run participants breeding Pokemon with specific moves and stats plan their breeding chains efficiently. Once you’ve bred your perfect Pokemon, add them to your team planner to check type coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are egg groups?
Egg groups are breeding categories. Pokemon in the same egg group can breed together, while Pokemon in different egg groups cannot produce eggs.
How do I breed perfect IV Pokemon?
Use a Pokemon with good IVs holding a Destiny Knot. This passes down five random IVs from both parents, increasing chances of perfect offspring.
Can I breed legendary Pokemon?
Most legendary Pokemon cannot breed at all. The few that can (like Manaphy) have special breeding rules explained in the calculator.
What does Masuda Method mean?
Breeding two Pokemon from different real-world language games increases shiny odds from 1/4096 to approximately 1/683.
How long does breeding take?
Each egg cycle takes roughly 256 steps. Pokemon like Magikarp hatch quickly while Pokemon like Larvitar take longer based on their egg cycle number.
