Pokémon breeding: Difference between revisions

(moved nature inheritance to its own section, added shininess section too. Should be easier for people to find what they're after now)

Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Natures|Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]] inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a ditto. <ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 EVerstone breeding working on males] - Pokécommunity forums</ref>. Another minor change is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the pokeémon are from different real world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain).
