In Generation II games, the baby inherited its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent was Ditto, and in that case it would inherit the stats from Ditto. | In Generation II games, the baby inherited its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent was Ditto, and in that case it would inherit the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% probability of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512. | ||
When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed. | When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion.

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