🥚Daycare - Poké breeding

Two Pokémon are compatible if they share at least one Egg Group and are of opposite genders. As an exception, Ditto is compatible with almost all Pokémon regardless of gender.

🥚Breeding Pokémon in Daycare

To breed Pokémon on Cobblemon Islands, use the daycare feature. Access it by typing /daycare. Upon opening, you'll find 5 daycare slots. Place two Pokémon from the same egg group and of opposite genders in each slot. Some Pokémon belong to multiple egg groups, providing various breeding options.

In Pokémon breeding, the primary goal is often to produce a Pokémon with high IV's or specific moves. If the male Pokémon possesses moves that the offspring can learn, the baby Pokémon will inherit these moves when it hatches from the egg.

Daycare menu with 5 slots

The Blue Candy logo indicates the Daycare’s Leveling system. When enabled, your Pokémon will earn EXP while in daycare, but retrieving them will incur a fee. The Pokéball logo is used for inserting Pokémon you wish to breed.

This is an example of what a daycare box looks like

When choosing what Pokémon you want to breed, the daycare will give you all the information of the Pokémon stats as well as what egg group they are in. Pokemon can only breed together if they share the same egg group (Anything can breed with Ditto, except legends, ultrabeasts & paradox)

Here is an example of breeding between a Archeops and a Ditto

When you place two Pokémon in the daycare, they will need some time to produce an egg. Once ready, the egg will be transferred to your party. If your party is full, the Pokémon egg will instead be sent to your PC.

Note: To hatch a Pokémon egg, it must be in your party, not your PC!

To obtain details about an egg before it hatches, use the command /egginfo <slot>. Pokémon with abilities like Flame Body can accelerate the hatching process and reduce the required steps.

Here is an example of the command /egginfo <slot> being used on the egg in the players party.

🥚 What Are Egg Groups?

Each Pokémon belongs to one or two Egg Groups, and only Pokémon in the same Egg Group can breed together (with a few exceptions like Ditto).
