* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]].

* Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|Egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1. | * When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5.

* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure. | * Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward.
