The majority of baby Pokémon were introduced after their first-stage evolutions, with the exceptions of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Riolu}}. To achieve evolution, many require maximized [[friendship]]. Others will evolve by level up, but as the generations passed more complex [[methods of evolution]] were introduced.

In the video game series, the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon is through breeding. On occasion, [[non-player character]]s will give the {{player}} an Egg containing a baby Pokémon, and this Pokémon typically cannot be obtained in any other method, except for breeding. [[Generation III]] introduced the first baby Pokémon able to be caught in the wild: {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]]. In [[Generation IV]], many other baby Pokémon were also available, relatively easily, in the wild. Players may still find it preferable to breed though, for the benefit of [[Egg move]]s (as many baby Pokémon have very limited movepools).

Baby Pokémon all have one thing in common: they are unable to breed unless they evolve into one of their higher forms, and are all in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} Egg Group. This is presumably due to their infantile state.
