Breeding Pokémon in Violet: A Comprehensive Guide

Pokémon breeding is a complex but rewarding aspect of the Pokémon games that allows players to create their own powerful and competitive Pokémon. In Pokémon Violet, breeding has been simplified in some ways, but it still requires knowledge of a few key mechanics. This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of how to breed Pokémon in Violet, including information on egg groups, inheritance, and Nature modifiers.

Getting Started

To start breeding Pokémon, you will need to have two Pokémon of the same species that are compatible for breeding. Compatible Pokémon are Pokémon that belong to the same egg group. You can check which egg group a Pokémon belongs to by looking at its summary screen. Once you have two compatible Pokémon, you need to take them to a Pokémon Nursery.

Pokémon Nurseries

Pokémon Nurseries are located in several towns and cities throughout Paldea. The Nursery in Cascarrafa is the most convenient one to use, as it is located near the Pokémon Center and has a large number of spaces for Pokémon to breed.

To breed Pokémon, simply talk to the woman at the counter in the Nursery and select the two Pokémon that you want to breed. The woman will take the Pokémon and place them in a room together. After a while, the woman will come back to you and tell you that the Pokémon have laid an egg.

Eggs

Eggs will hatch into Pokémon after a certain number of steps. The number of steps required for an egg to hatch depends on the species of Pokémon. You can check how many steps an egg has left before hatching by looking at its summary screen.

Once an egg hatches, the newly hatched Pokémon will be the same species as the mother Pokémon. The newly hatched Pokémon will also inherit some of the stats and moves of its parents.

Inheritance

When a Pokémon is bred, it will inherit some of the stats and moves of its parents. The following stats are inherited:

  • HP
  • Attack
  • Defense
  • Special Attack
  • Special Defense
  • Speed

The newly hatched Pokémon will also inherit some of the moves that its parents know. The moves that a Pokémon can inherit are determined by its egg group.

Nature Modifiers

When a Pokémon is bred, it will also inherit a Nature modifier. Nature modifiers are special modifiers that affect a Pokémon’s stats. There are 25 different Nature modifiers, each of which affects two stats differently.

For example, the Adamant Nature modifier increases a Pokémon’s Attack stat by 10% and decreases its Special Attack stat by 10%. The Modest Nature modifier increases a Pokémon’s Special Attack stat by 10% and decreases its Attack stat by 10%.

You can use Nature modifiers to create Pokémon that are specialized in certain stats. For example, you could use the Adamant Nature modifier to create a Pokémon with a high Attack stat for physical attacks.

Breeding for Competitive Pokémon

Breeding is a key component of competitive Pokémon battling. By carefully breeding Pokémon, you can create Pokémon with the stats and moves that you need to win battles.

When breeding for competitive Pokémon, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The Pokémon’s stats
  • The Pokémon’s moves
  • The Pokémon’s Nature modifier
  • The Pokémon’s egg group

By carefully considering all of these factors, you can create Pokémon that are perfectly suited for competitive battling.
