That gives the impression that being in the Mineral Egg Group means it requires Ditto to breed | These names for Egg Groups are likely plurals, so somebody more familiar with the languages should change them to singular (Italian might even be the same)

Egg Groups are based on biological traits of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]], generally allowing biologically similar species to breed. However, there are some oddities within Egg Groups: for example, the {{egg2|Field}} contains a particularly wide variety of Pokémon species, so that seemingly illogical pairings can be noted within it, such as {{p|Skitty}} {{Appendix|Fan terminology#HSOWA|and}} {{p|Wailord}}.

Egg Groups are generally preserved along [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary lines]]; however, [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Shedinja}} are not in the same group as their evolutionary relatives: Baby Pokémon, Nidorina and Nidoqueen are in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}} and thus unable to breed, while the genderless {{p|Shedinja}} is in the {{egg2|Mineral}} and thus requires {{p|Ditto}} to breed.

Egg Groups are not displayed in any [[core series]] game; however, they have been canonically mentioned in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as a part of [[Earl Dervish]]'s Pokémon Academy's extensive data banks, in [[Pokédex 3D]], and in various strategy guides.
