===How to breed===
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} or the [[Battle Resort]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]], and {{rt|7|Kalos}} in [[Kalos]].
From [[Generation II]] onward, Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] (that takes two Pokémon) or the [[Pokémon Nursery]].
 
Pokémon can be bred at Pokémon Day Cares or Pokémon Nurseries at the following locations:

Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species (or share at least one [[Egg Group]]) and are of opposite genders; alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless, and in fact, genderless Pokémon can breed only with Ditto. Pokémon in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group cannot breed whatsoever, and Ditto cannot breed with itself. In Generation II only, Pokémon with similar IVs cannot breed, due to the likelihood of familial relation.

The Day-Care Man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies that they want the Egg and if they have an empty slot in their party. If the player tells the Day-Care Man they do not want the Egg, he will permanently keep it. If the player says they want the Egg but does not have a spare slot, the Day-Care Man will keep it until the player returns, when he will offer it again; otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later.

In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by breeding. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability in some form when breeding with a male Pokémon. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, it was only possible for a female Pokémon to pass down its Ability if it had a [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]], at a 60% chance. Starting in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, this mechanic was updated so that females had an 80% chance of passing down their Ability slot, period. In Black 2 and White 2, this same 80% chance does not apply if a female Pokémon is bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, but starting in {{g|X and Y}}, it does.
Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]] and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.


Before [[Generation VI]], it was not possible for male or genderless Pokémon to pass down their Ability in any way. Starting in Generation VI, however, if these Pokémon have their Hidden Ability and are bred with Ditto, they have a 20% chance to pass it down to their offspring. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

Starting in Generation VI, the Poké Ball of the female Pokémon (other than a {{ball|Master}} and {{ball|Cherish}}, which result in the default standard Poké Ball) will be passed down to its offspring.
Starting in Generation VI, the Poké Ball of the female Pokémon will be passed down to its offspring. In Generation VII, if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]] are bred, the offspring will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball.


In Generation VI, male and genderless Pokémon (including {{p|Ditto}}) have no impact on the type of Poké Ball inherited; as such, when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto (which is the only way to breed certain species), the offspring is always obtained in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VII]], when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto, the Poké Ball of the male or genderless Pokémon (other than a {{ball|Master}} and {{ball|Cherish}}, which result in the default standard Poké Ball) will be passed down to its offspring.

For the purposes of inheriting Poké Balls, parents in a {{ball|Master}} or {{ball|Cherish}} are always treated as being in a standard Poké Ball.
