Breeding Basics in Scarlet and Violet

Since Pokémon Gold and Silverthe reproduction Pokémon takes place in a Nursery or a Pensionwhere two compatible Pokémon can be dropped off to produce Eggs. However, it would appear that the basic operation of the reproduction has changed in Pokemon Scarlet/Purplesince the Pensions do not exist in the Paldea region. Instead, Pokémon spawn during picnics and deposit their Eggs in the basket in front of the table. Pokémon breeding is therefore a little less passive in Pokemon Scarlet and Purplesince you can keep the Pokémon concerned on you during your adventures, and simply take a picnic break when you want a Egg. Apart from this change, basics of breeding remain quite similar to the other opuses of the license, and you must follow a few rules to be sure to get the Egg you want:

Reproduction requires a female pokemon and one Male Pokemon.If you are using a Shapeshifterthe gender of the other Pokémon has no importance.The baby will always be of the species of the Female or Pokémon that spawns with a Shapeshifter.Pokémon must be compatiblethat is, they must have at least a group of eggs in common.Party Pokémon Unknown cannot breed (Baby Pokemon, Legendary, Fabulous, etc.)

If all these rules are respected, you will be able to find one or more Eggs in your picnic basket. The method remains the same as usual for hatch themthat is, you must place the Egg in your team and walk to warm it up. If you have a Pokemon with the Ability Love magma, Fiery Body or Turbinevos Eggs will hatch faster. The Pokémon likely to possess these Abilities are as follows:

Fiery Body:BraisillonFlambusardWagomineMonthraciteCharbambin (Talent Caché)PyronillePyraxLove Magma :Turbine :CharbiWagomineMonthracite

Note that these Talents cannot be combined with each other, so your Eggs will not hatch 3 times faster if you have all 3 Talents in your team.

to hatch Eggs will not only allow you to complete your Pokédexbut also of transfer characteristics to the Pokémon that will come out of the egglike a natureand hidden talentof the specific abilitiesor even interesting IVs. You can also use the reproduction as a method for find shiny pokemonas we explained to you in our guide to chromatic Pokémon.
