Essential Items for Pokémon Breeding

Before we start, let’s gather all the necessary tools for successful breeding in Pokémon Violet.

Destiny Knot: This item guarantees a combination of 5 IV’s from the parents will go down into the offspring.

Power Bands: These items pass down the specific IV of the parent holding it, guaranteed. Here are the Power Bands and their corresponding IVs:

  • Power Weight – HP
  • Power Bracer – Attack
  • Power Anklet – Speed
  • Power Belt – Defence
  • Power Lens – Sp. Attack
  • Power Band – Sp. Defense

Everstone: This item passes down the Nature of the parent holding it. It also ensures the regional form of the offspring if you are breeding from a non-Paldean form Pokémon.

Mirror Herb: Holding this will ensure that Pokémon learns any compatible Egg Moves from any Pokémon present at the picnic.

Shiny Charm: Before you start breeding, ensure you have the Shiny Charm as eggs are a great way to farm shinies.

The Basics: Making an Egg

Creating an egg is the first step in Pokémon breeding. Here’s how to get started:

  • Get two Pokémon of the same species with alternating genders or a Ditto and any Pokémon capable of breeding.
  • Start a picnic. Over time, doing nothing will eventually spawn an egg in the basket on the floor behind the table. This can be increased by making Sandwiches with Egg Power. Banana Sandwich is recommended as it’s Tier 2 Egg Power and super cheap to make with a Silver Pick.

The basket will continue to fill up over time and you can keep taking eggs out while you are in the picnic, which automatically go to your box storage.

Advanced Breeding: Creating a Super Offspring

Breeding in Pokémon Violet is not just about producing eggs. It’s also about creating a super offspring with better stats. Here’s how to do it:

If you are patient and willing to grind a bit, you can take a weak parent and eventually create a super strong offspring by chaining and leapfrogging your babies as they produce incrementally better stats.

Hatch those Eggs Quickly!

After the eggs have been produced, the next step is to hatch them. But how do you hatch eggs quickly in Pokémon Violet? The answer lies in understanding how the game’s egg-hatching mechanic works.

The more steps your character takes, the faster the eggs will hatch. Using Flame Body or Magma Armor Pokémon in your party can also reduce the number of steps needed to hatch an egg by half.

Passing Egg Moves: The Power of the Mirror Herb

Egg Moves are special moves that a Pokémon can only learn through breeding. By having a Pokémon hold the Mirror Herb during the picnic, any compatible Egg Moves from any Pokémon present will be learned. This is an excellent way to pass down powerful or rare moves to your Pokémon offspring.

The Role of Ditto in Pokémon Breeding

Ditto is a special Pokémon when it comes to breeding. This unique creature can breed with almost any Pokémon, regardless of gender. This makes Ditto an invaluable asset for any Pokémon breeder in Pokémon Violet.

How to Pass Down Natures and IVs

In Pokémon Violet, Nature and Individual Values (IVs) can significantly influence a Pokémon’s performance in battles. By using Everstone and Power Bands, breeders can control which Nature and IVs get passed down to the offspring.
