Breeding

Aetheria's breeding system is based on how breeding works in the main Pokémon games. There are, however, some important differences.

To begin type "/pokebreed" to open the breeding GUI. Pokémon produced are placed directly in the player's party or PC and do not need to be hatched. The breeding cooldown is 8 minutes. Pokémon bred together must be either the opposite gender to one another, or any gender with a ditto. The two Pokémon (excluding ditto) must be in the same Egg Group. You can breed most genderless Pokémon with a ditto (excluding: Legendaries, "Baby Pokémon", and Galarian Fossils).

It should be noted that unlike the games, there is no way to boost your odds when breeding for shiny Pokémon. Breeding a shiny with another Pokémon also does not increase the odds. The odds through breeding will always be the same as the base odds, which can be checked with the command "/pokeodds".

Albino Pokémon are unable to be bred and cannot be obtained from breeding.

Breeding Regional Pokémon

To breed a regional Pokémon you need to have the regional Pokémon you want to breed to be holding an Everstone. They can be bought from the Pokémart for 500 each. (Only one parent has to be holding the Everstone to pass down the regional form, note that breeding two regional forms together still requires one to hold an Everstone.)

Example:

Passing Down Nature

Natures are passed down when one or both parents holds an Everstone (the same as passing down regional variants). If both parents are holding an Everstone the Nature is randomized between the two of them with a ratio of (50/50).

IV Breeding Guide

Destiny Knot:

The first thing you need to know for breeding high IV Pokémon is how a Destiny Knot works. They can be bought from the Pokémart for 500 each or obtained via crafting.

Destiny Knots don't stack. So only one Pokémon needs to hold them for it to take effect.

Crafting Recipe:

When breeding Pokémon with no items, only three stats are inherited from the parents while the other three are randomized.

No Destiny Knot Example:

(Example Above: "Xs" are stats that weren't passed down to the child and were randomized).

Breeding with a Destiny Knot passes down five stats from both parents instead of three. This does not stack, meaning the maximum that can be passed down is five, with one stat always randomized.

Destiny Knot Example:

(Example Above: Attack is the only random stat, while the other five are inherited from the parents).

Power Items:

Power Items are a very useful tool when it comes to breeding. Any of the Power Items lock a certain stat of the parent guaranteeing that the respective IV gets passed down. This takes up 1 of the 3 stats or 1 of the 5 if one of the parents has a Destiny Knot. They can be bought from the Pokémart for 10,000 each or obtained via crafting.

Power Items don't stack. So you have to pick and choose which stat you prefer to pass down.

Types:

Useful Strategies:

The best way to get higher and higher IV Pokémon is by using both a Destiny Knot and either a Power Item or Everstone depending on whether or not you are breeding Regional Pokémon. Since Natures can be changed with the use of Mint's it's typically not advised to use Everstones unless you are breeding a Regional Pokémon.

an example of a good setup would be this.

Example:

Using the Child from the previous example as the parent for generation 2 the use of the Power Bracer allows the Attack IV to be passed down avoiding the Ditto's subpar Attack IV and a Destiny Knot allowing for the other 31 IV stats to be passed down. This minimized the most amount of random number generation allowing you to slowly build up to getting a guaranteed 5 x 31 IV Pokémon from two perfect 6 x 31 IV Pokémon. Note there's no way to guarantee a perfect 6 x 31 IV Pokémon.

Good luck with your Poké Breeding.
