'''Egg groups''' determine which Pokémon are able to interbreed in [[Pokémon breeding]]. [[Pokémon]] were first able to breed in the [[Generation II|Second Generation]] games [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]. [[Breeding]] allowed Pokémon to pass down [[DVs]] and moves to their children. Moves usually are inherited from the male Pokémon, while the child takes on the form of the mother in her basic form. A baby would hatch out of an egg after a specified number of steps in the game and would always be at level five.

When breeding, one typically has a 50/50 chance of getting male or female Pokémon. If the Pokémon is a [[Starter Pokémon]], or any of a number of other types which have different gender ratios than 50-50, the results are skewed.  Some Pokémon are genderless; some species can be only male or only female.

It's been mentioned on some web sites that there is a bug in the [[Generation III|Third Generation]] games which makes some {{p|Azurill}}s change gender when they evolve into {{p|Marill}}s. This is the result of the fact that the gender ratios are different.
