\pagebreakNum # Egg Hatching and Breeding Pokemon The Pokemon games and anime take two wildly different approaches to breeding Pokemon and hatching eggs. This supplement was created to alleviate the complicated mechanics that the video games use to do both of these things while still giving the players a true-to-form way to actively breed and hatch. ## Compatibility vs Egg Groups As a whole, I have done away with egg groups that are common in the video games for both the egg system and the breeding system. Egg groups are complicated, clunky, and at times confusing. Instead, I've replaced egg groups with focusing on the Pokemon's nature. So, now that any Pokemon regardless of type or form can breed together, two Pokemon of specific nature's may not be. This was done to emphasize compatibility over type or form. So now, your Pidgeot can breed with a Gyarados and we can all call it a day. ## Egg Hattching ### The System When a trainer receives an egg, a simple 3-step system begins. 1. At the beginning of each day/session, the egg holder rolls a d100. (The first roll should take place when the trainer receives the egg.) 2. That number is subtracted from the egg's egg cycle number. (See **egg cycles** below.) 3. When the egg cycle reaches 0, the egg hatches. ### General Rules * All Pokemon hatch at Level 1. * The first trainer the newly hatched Pokemon sees, becomes its trainer. * The DM should decide what Pokemon is inside the egg before the trainer receives the egg.
### Egg Cycles

##### Actions/Items that Speed up the Process of Egg Hatching | Action/Item | Effect |:---|:---| | Spa Treatment | Increases loyalty by +1 when hatched, can only do 1 spa treatment per egg. | | Breeding House | Increases hatch speed by an extra d100 each day that the egg is in the breeding house. | | Incubator | Increases hatch speed by an extra d20 each day the egg is in the incubator. | | Super Incubator | Increases hatch speed by an extra d50 each day the egg is in the incubator. | | Magma Armor | Increases hatch speed by an extra d20 each day the egg is in the incubator. A Pokemon with this ability must be in the egg holder's party. | | Flame Body | Increases hatch speed by an extra d20 each day the egg is in the incubator. A Pokemon with this ability must be in the egg holder's party. | | Nugget | If a Pokemon in the egg holder's party is holding a nugget when the egg hatches, roll a d20. If an 11+ is rolled, the Pokemon is shiny. | | Egg Lotion| If applied to the egg every day/session, increases hatch speed by an extra d12. Can only be bought at Breeding Houses for ₽100. |
\pagebreakNum ## Breeding Pokemon Breeding in the Pokemon universe seems a bit complicated. Below is the digestable information that I have gathered to make it more user friendly and accessible for everyone, DMs and players alike. All of this information came and was adapted from [https://pokemondb.net/mechanics/breeding](https://pokemondb.net/mechanics/breeding) and Bulbapedia. ### General Rules * Breeding Pokemon must be of opposite genders. One has to be male, the other female. * The **female** Pokemon is what decides what 1st Evolution Pokemon will hatch from the egg, and the Pokemon's abilities. Ex) If the female is Pidgeot, then the Pokemon that will hatch will be Pidgey. * The **female** Pokemon transfers all resistances, immunities, and vulnerabilities to the newly hatched Pokemon. * The **male** Pokemon is what decides the skill proficiencies and saving throws that are passed down. Ex) If the male's saving throw is Dexterity, then the newly hatched Pokemon's saving throw is Dexterity. * The **male** transfers one resistance of the trainers choice to the newly hatched Pokemon. This resistance cannot conflict with any vulnerabilities that the female parent provides. * **Baby** Pokemon cannot breed. (Happiny, Pichu, etc.) ### Transfering Moves When the Pokemon hatches, the trainer may select moves in the following order. 1. Level 1 moves for the Pokemon 2. Moves that either parent currently knows. (Max 1 from each parent, not type-dependent.) A learned TM is cannot be inherited; however, the *Learnable Move* section from both parents is transferred to the newly hatched Pokemon. ### Breeding with Ditto * Genderless Pokemon must breed with Ditto * Any Pokemon can breed with Ditto * You cannot breed 2 Ditto's together. * The main benefit of breeding with a Ditto is that you receive the 1st Evolution of that Pokemon again. * For each skill stat, roll 3d4 and apply them as you like. * All abilities, resistances, immunities, vulnerabilities, saving throws, and proficiencies are passed down from the non-Ditto Pokemon. * Transferring moves remain's the same as stated above. ### Everstone's & Nature *Parent Pokemon holding an everstone when they are breeding guarantees the baby Pokemon to have the same nature as the everstone-holding parent. *If both parents hold an Everstone, nature is chosen at random from the nature chart (roll a d20). *If neither parent holds an Everstone, nature is chosen at random between the two parents (flip a coin). ### Nature Compatibility As stated earlier, breeding ignores egg groups that the video games created and opts instead for a nature-based compatibility chart. The left column is a list of all of the nature's in Pokemon5E. The right column are nature's that each nature cannot breed with or be matched with to breed. For example, a Grumpy Pidgeot cannot breed with a Hardy Arcanine. | Nature | Cannot Breed With | |:---:|:-----------:| | Reckless | Skittish | | Rash | Relaxed | | Brave | Careful | | Cocky | Cheerful | | Skittish | Reckless | | Hasty | Apathetic | | Energetic | Sassy | | Clumsy | Nimble | | Apathetic | Hasty | | Stubborn | Curious | | Grumpy | Hardy | | Relaxed | Rash | | Careful | Brave | | Curious | Stubborn | | Naughty | Dumb | | Cheerful | Cocky | | Sassy | Energetic | | Dumb | Naughty | | Hardy | Grumpy | | Nimble | Clumsy |
