Halloween 2026All wiki pages
Leave two Pokémon that can breed at the Day Care with /daycare. As you chat they find an Egg, and as you keep chatting it hatches.
Which Pokémon can breed
- One male and one female that share an Egg Group.
- Ditto with almost anything, genderless Pokémon included. Two Ditto can’t.
- Pokémon in the Undiscovered group can’t breed at all, even with Ditto: legendaries, mythicals, baby Pokémon, Nidorina and Nidoqueen.
- Manaphy only breeds with Ditto, and its Egg is always Phione.
- Pokémon in costume can’t breed.
Finding and hatching Eggs
Eggs run on your chat messages instead of a timer. It takes about 50 of your messages to find an Egg, then 30 to 70 more to hatch it, longer for rarer Pokémon. Two of the same species from different trainers get along best and find theirs sooner. Spam doesn’t count. Collect the Egg with the button on /daycare, or turn on Egg DMs in /notifications.
A Pokémon with Flame Body or Magma Armor in your party hatches Eggs twice as fast.
Taking a parent out of the Day Care loses the Egg it was working on.
Pokémon at the Day Care also earn a little EXP as you chat, just like the games. They can level up there, but they won’t evolve until their next normal level up.
What hatches
The first form of the mother’s line, or of the parent that isn’t Ditto. Hatchlings start at level 1 and already like you a bit. Nidoran-F and Illumise lines can hatch either species of their pair.
Nine baby Pokémon only hatch if a parent holds the right incense: Azurill, Wynaut, Budew, Chingling, Bonsly, Mime Jr., Happiny, Munchlax, Mantyke. The incenses are in the Poké Mart.
What gets passed down
| What | How |
|---|---|
| IVs | 3 from the parents, or 5 if either parent holds a Destiny Knot. |
| A chosen IV | A Power item locks in its stat from the parent holding it. |
| Nature | A parent holding an Everstone passes its nature. |
| Egg Moves | Any of the baby’s Egg Moves that either parent knows. |
| Ability | Usually the same ability as the parent of its line. A Hidden Ability can pass down too. |
| Poké Ball | The mother’s ball, or the other parent’s when breeding with Ditto. Master Balls never pass down. |
Shiny Eggs
An Egg can be shiny, at the same chance as a wild Pokémon. The game rolls it the moment the Egg appears, so hatching won’t change it.
Plan it on the site
The breeding calculator uses the bot’s own rules to tell you whether two Pokémon can breed and what you’ll get.
Drop off a pair in /daycare and start chatting!
