🥚Breeding

Breeding lets you turn a Cobblemon Pasture into a Daycare. A Daycare can produce Pokémon Eggs when it contains two compatible Pokémon.

---

Setting Up A Daycare

1. Place a Pasture.
2. Right-click the Pasture.
3. Choose Daycare in the setup menu.
4. Add two Pokémon to the Pasture.
5. Re-open the Pasture to view the Daycare menu.

The Daycare menu shows both parents and a preview of the possible offspring. If the Pokémon are not compatible, the offspring preview will be empty.

By default, players can have up to 3 active Daycares.

Compatible Pokemon

Two Pokémon can breed if they are compatible by normal Pokémon breeding rules:

• They must share at least one Egg Group.
• They usually need to be one male and one female.
• A Pokémon can breed with Ditto, unless both Pokémon are Ditto.
• Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group cannot breed.

The egg usually follows the female parent, or the non-Ditto parent when breeding with Ditto.

Egg Production

A Daycare periodically attempts to create an egg.

By default:

• The Daycare attempts to produce an egg every 10 minutes.
• Each attempt has a 75% success chance.
• Eggs can still be produced while the player is offline.
• Eggs are stored in the Daycare until collected.

Use the Daycare menu to check how many eggs are currently stored.

Incubators

Eggs need an Incubator to hatch.

Hold an incubator and right-click in the air to claim it. After it has been claimed, right-click it again to open the Incubator menu.

To collect eggs from a Daycare:

1. Hold your incubator.
2. Right-click the Daycare Pasture.
3. Any stored eggs will move into the incubator if there is space.

Eggs inside an incubator hatch over time. Having a Pokémon with Flame Body, Steam Engine, or Magma Armor in your party speeds up hatching.

Incubator Tiers

Incubator	Egg Storage	Eggs Hatched At Once
Copper	8	1
Iron	64	2
Gold	32	32
Diamond	96	4
Netherite	128	8

Higher tiers can hold more eggs, hatch more eggs at the same time, or both.

Crafting Incubators

To craft your first Copper Incubator, use the following crafting recipe:

You can then use Iron Blocks and replace the Blaze Powder with the Copper Incubator to upgrade it, and so on.

Breeding Items

Some held items can affect breeding. If a parent is holding a valid breeding item, it will appear in the Daycare menu under that parent.

Useful breeding items include:

• Everstone: helps pass down nature.
• Destiny Knot: helps with IV inheritance.
• Power Items: help pass down specific IV stats.
• Mirror Herb: used for egg move inheritance.

Why Breed Pokemon?

Breeding is useful for getting better Pokemon over time.

Eggs can inherit or roll traits such as:

• IVs
• Nature
• Ability
• Pokeball
• Shiny chance

This means breeding two of the same Pokemon usually gives you another of that Pokemon, but with a chance for better traits.
