Pokémon breeding: Difference between revisions

From {{game|Platinum}} on, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a Speed IV from the first parent or an {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP. This system is retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
