Breeding of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet described

The breeding of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may first appear a bit unclear. You'll have to arrange a picnic instead of taking your Pokémon to childcare facilities or nurseries. Even if the guidelines remain the same, understanding the nuances might help the process go a bit more smoothly.

So, start hatching eggs like you're creating the largest omelette in history by scrolling down to uncover a comprehensive tutorial to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's breeding method. We also have guides for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet starters, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet gym leaders, and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet legendaries if you'd want to go further into some other areas.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, how can I breed?

You must prepare a picnic before you can begin breeding Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. If you'd want more information on what Pokémon Scarlet and Violet picnics are, we've looked into them in detail.

Make sure the two Pokémon you want to breed are on your party roster at that moment; they must be of the same gender and egg group. Then, set up the picnic and simply hang around. Until you're instructed to check out your picnic basket, do as you want.

There is an egg in the basket; check it out. Cheers! It seems like your Pokémon have given birth. Life's amazing, huh?

In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, how can I hatch an egg?

To hatch the egg in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, you must travel about, much as in previous main series entries. Stay in motion, whether you're on top of a Pokémon or just on your own two stems, until the game warns you that an egg is hatching. Simple as pie.

Pokémon Egg Moves for Scarlet and Violet

With two distinct methods to pass on egg moves, egg moves come returning in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's breeding mechanics. They work similarly to how they did in the previous installment, Sword and Shield. Bringing two Pokemon together for a picnic, one of which has a move you want to teach the other, is the simplest and first method.

If both of them are able to mate and belong to the same egg group, which is sadly a trial-and-error situation for now, you may equip a mirror herb to either of them, and the egg move will transfer to the vacant move slot. Gender and species are irrelevant for this strategy as long as the Pokemon can learn the specific egg move.

In fact, it can be simpler to get an egg move the old-fashioned way if you're having trouble determining which egg group your Pokemon really belong to. For example, to get a Paldean Wooper with Acid Spray, you may mate any female Paldean Wooper with a male Mareanie who has the move in its roster, and voila! You will get a Wooper egg that will hatch with Acid Spray.
