Breeding Requirements
In order to start the process of breeding two Pokemon together, there are a few things you need in order to get yourself started.
Do /daycare to go to your daycare area.
1 male and 1 female pokemon in the same Egg Group.
Egg Groups
There are 14 total egg groups in Pixelmon. The only Egg Group that cannot breed at all is the Undiscovered Egg Group. Here are all the egg groups and which Pokemon are in all these egg groups. If two Pokemon are in the same Egg Group, they can be bred together.
Items
There are certain items that can be used when breeding to pass certain traits down to the offspring.
Destiny Knot will pass down 5 IVs from the parent holding it instead of 3.
Everstone will let the offspring keep the Nature as well as a Regional Form.
Mirror Herb When held by a Pokemon that has an empty move slot, the offspring will learn the egg move of the other pokemon. This does not require compatible Pokemon.
Any Power Items will pass down it’s respective IVs (example: Power Weight will pass down HP IV)
Inheritance
There are certain things that the offspring has a chance to inherit. By default it will inherit 3 IV stats from the parents, those of which do not overlap.
An offspring can also inherit a certain Pokeball. If they are the same species, it’s a 50/50 chance as to what Pokeball the offspring will get. If they are not the same species, it will inherit the Pokeball of the mother (unless it’s a Master or Cherish ball).
Growth is also inherited from parents, whatever is between the two growths of the parent Pokemon, with a bit of random variation thrown in.
Abilities by default have an 80% chance of passing down from the mother unless it’s a Hidden Ability, which is a 60% chance of being passed down. If there is no Hidden Ability present, there is a 1/150 chance of the offspring having a Hidden Ability.
Baby Pokemon
Chansey, Blissey→Happiny: Luck Incense
Chimecho→Chingling: Pure Incense
Mantine→Mantyke: Wave Incense
Marill, Azumarill→Azurill: Sea Incense
Mr. Mime→Mime Jr.: Odd Incense
Roselia, Roserade→Budew: Rose Incense
Snorlax→Munchlax: Full Incense
Sudowoodo→Bonsly: Rock Incense
Wobbuffet→Wynaut: Lax Incense
Certain Pokemon require incense in order to breed the baby pokemon; without it one will not be produced.
Egg Moves
If the parents have certain moves, there is a chance the offspring can learn them. Majority of these moves are exclusive to being Egg Moves and therefore cannot be obtained without breeding. If either parent knows species-specific "Egg moves", their offspring will inherit them, as these moves are exclusive. If the father knows TM or HM moves, the offspring can inherit them if they're learnable by TM/HM. If both parents share moves from the offspring's level-up movepool, the offspring may learn moves earlier than usual.
If more than 4 of the moves from the parents meet those criteria, they will be chosen in a hierarchy, Egg Moves taking that priority.
Hourglasses
You can use Copper and Silver Hourglasses to speed up the breeding process. The Copper Hourglass can be used to skip one breeding stage for one Pokemon and the Silver can be used to skip two stages for the pokemon need to produce an egg.
Hatching
Once the Pokemon have bred, you can put the egg in your party and start walking around to hatch the egg. Different eggs will take different amount of steps in order to hatch (you can see how many steps are left with /eggsteps ). If you have a Pokemon in your party with Flame Body, Magma Armor or Steam Engine as an ability it will allow you to hatch your Pokemon twice as fast.
