Pokémon can be breed by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Daycare]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of opposite gender, share one [[Egg Group]] (see below), or one of them is {{p|Ditto}}. Legendary and baby Pokémon cannot breed. Pokémon with gender unknown can only breed with Ditto. After returning to the Daycare, the old man will be outside (Generation II) or out of line with the fence (Generation III). The man will hand you an egg. After walking around for a while, the egg should hatch into a level 5 version of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain. | ==How to breed== | ||

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 inherited from Ditto. The Defense Individual Value is passed, and also either the Special Individual Value, or the Special plus or minus 8, depending on whither it was origianally greater or less than 8. Whether Special changed or not is determined at random.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatable, if the Defense Individual Values are the same, and the Special is the same, or 8 off, they are incompatable. This means they are related, and no egg will be produced. | When determining if two Pokémon are compatable, if the Defense Individual Values are the same, and the Special is the same, or 8 off, they are incompatable.
