If you use thief on a wild pokemon and it doesnt faint, you can run from it and encounter it again and it will have the same item again, unlimitid held items from wilds mons
Wow. Actually pretty useful.
But now the question remains........What is worth stealing?
@@AzuraiFrostwing I don’t think thief works on them since they consume it at the start of battle
@@justin2173 not if you use Miraidon at the start of the battle, Miraidon ability creates an electric field and the ítem is not consumed
@@AngelDixonh good to know. I didn’t even think of that
Extra tip if anyone wants it:
You can go to team star bases that you've cleared to picnic and run around if you dont want to be interrupted by any wild pokemon! No pokemon will spawn in those areas, so you'll be safe to mindlessly run around.
Oh cool! Thanks for the tip.
Also, giving a smoke ball to your flame body pokemon is a lifesaver if you are ever out and about. An egg hatches and an angry Tauros will just wait inside you to waste your time.
Yeah I’m doin that at the fairy base, thanks for the tip :3
i went to the central square in Mesagoza and just went in a circle there!
I picnic and ride around the team dark base.
Dude, I haven't competitively played since Gen2/3 and your videos are carrying me. Bread a shiny Charmander and EV&IV trained it to the max. You're the man.
Glad to have helped my dude. Thank you.
@@AustinJohnPlays if i donate $50 would you reply my comment too? what about $500, would you reply 10 time faster?
Can you give me a perfect IV charmander?
@@AustinJohnPlays question. Does using the mints for the nature work as well as the nature it’s born with or is there a difference between the percentages
@@JennyTruthmad?
For those new to breeding, the order to breeding matters. Start with the nature, then IVs, then ability (or use an ability patch), then EV train or use vitamins. This way you dont lose progress in your breed chain for IVs by having to breed an inferior IV pokemon with the nature you want.
I got a whole system for this lol. Catch one of every nature ditto you could want, stats don't matter. Breed with nature ditto first, get desired nature, then switch nature ditto for 6iv ditto and you're set. Lol. I know I experimented a way to change the nature of a regional veriant as well in SW and SH but I can't remember fully. Think it was both parents holding an everstone??
@@nezahuatez tbh breeding a lot isn't worth anymore besides getting shinies that you can't get otherwise.
Bottlecaps at 20k or pretty common drops from 5*,6*,7* raids. nature mints are also pretty cheap and common to come by.
imo just breed like 5 eggs with a 5 IV ditto, take the hatched pokemon with the most ivs and then mint and bottle cap it.
EDIT: the only neat use of breeding is spreading "No Good" (or in other terms 0 IVs to another pokemon), e.g. getting 0 attack on a special attacker, getting 0 speed on a trick room/ gyro ball user, etc.
Ability > (Nature) > IVs > EVs > Moves
A hidden ability can only be bred from a pokemon that has a hidden ability. So you'd make sure to always keep that ability before breeding further.
Nature is easily configurable, a little more expensive are IVs (max 100k) and egg moves can always be mirror herbed.
@@WingedRonin why would u want 0 atk iv on a special attacker
@@theunknown25100 because of moves like foul play, which scales off of the target's physical attack. Or because of the self inflicted damage through the status effect confusion
I spent a couple hours this morning trying to learn about breeding and found it so confusing. 20 minute video from Austin and I feel I understand it all! So much explained in such a short time, we're super lucky to have you Austin. Time to start shiny hunting!
I started breeding in x and y and yeah....its very confusing to start.
THIS is why everyone who plays competitive LOVES the exp share and how EASILY modern gaming has made competitive building. Before XY it was NEEDLESSLY complicated, and it can still be complicated for newbies. EVs, IVs, natures, moves, egg moves, abilities, all of this affect how well or how poor a Pokémon can do in competitive online battling. And as SOON as Home become compatible with ScarVi I'm going on an egg hunt lol
@@TheRibottoStudios yeah i worked too damn hard for my 6iv ditto to not use it. Ill wait for home ☺
@@13SarcasticCats i feel like the 6iv ditto kinda lost value though. while its not "technically" the same, bottlecaps are just easier and more convenient than breeding iv's usually is. you can stop several steps short of a perfect pokemon and still get a perfect pokemon now.
@@ShadowAraun Not entirely true because people like me and I know they are out there lol will want to min/max and have bests and correct natures always
Something I want to throw into the mix that might have been left out in editing:
The Pokémon you are trying to teach the egg move to NEEDS TO BE HOLDING the “MIRROR HERB” which can be bought in Cascarrafa.
(You can see the azumarill holding it in the video).
Thanks Austin for the videos, you’ve been cranking these out at an incredible pace, and the shiny rng seems to be favoring you for it!
This is Key information. I rewatched twice before I noticed the mint and couldn't figure out the issue.
Happy to help, I pulled out my hair for an hour trying to breed a belly drum azurill and found this out after.
This was so much easier!!
Yes, looks like @AustinJohn missed to mention the Mirror Herb part...
He explains It in the next section but still very useful comment!
@@Larizard he does in the next segment
Got lucky and received a 5 IV Japanese ditto from some kind soul on my third surprise trade.
Be careful its not hacked. If it is any pokemon breed with it will he considered “illegal” if you wanna go into competitive play ! If its too good to be true it usually is !
@@mannymurillo4706 6* ditto raids guarantee 5IVs with a small chance at 6IV, so unless it's from somewhere that isn't a crystal cavern (tera raids), it's legit
@@Aiosian well he literally says Surprise Trade if you read, so that’s the first thing that made it suspicious
@@mannymurillo4706 meh. as long as it says crystal cavern and was met level 60+ (75 for 6*), you're fine
Lucky, I haven’t gotten a single one
I listened to an hour of guides trying to explain what you did as simply as possible. Thank you for being clear and easy to understand
Quick note for others that Austin might've left out for simplicity:
the "Power" items (Power Anklet, Power Bracer, etc.) will carry down that one specific IV to offspring. This is very important for Trick Room pokemon who want 0 speed IVs, or 0 Attack IVs to lower the Foul Play damage it will take.
I came here to say this! Excellent comment
Feels like specifically for TR teams, doing this + Hyper Training is easier than to try and breed it down via Destiny Knot
Oh wow, never knew this!! Thank you
thank you brotha
So would I want 0 IV SPD Ditto, or the Mon I'm trying to breed ?
The amount of quality videos he can put out in a row is crazy!
he is the best
I know
This man is just crazy
been watching for years hes a boss
ye like how the hell does he even has time to play the game himself like wtf
I know austin will probably not see this, but I wanted to let people know.
If you are playing multiplayer via the Union circle, and you have a picnic with everyone joins, the game will try to breed everyone's pokemon that are brought out for the picnic that are compatible. (The host's team of 6, and all the additional players' first pokemon in the party.)
A friend and I found just this out while playing. They had an arcanine (i assume male) and I had a female eevee as my first pokemon, and they got 6 eggs that turned out to be eevees. (They had not caught an eevee before this)
I know austin may not see this but I want to spread this info/glitch (unsure if intended) around since I have not seen anyone make mention of it before.
Why do you say "i know austin probably won't see this" twice ?
@@WeThePeople018 In hopes of him replying probably. "Oh no I saw it, thanks" and Gwyneth proceeds to wet her pants.
Lol
@Barca3193 because it was a long message and i forgot that i said it at the beginning.
@@WeThePeople018 adhd. I do it a lot but with single words. I don't even realize I do it because i type so fast. Then I look back later like huh I typed that?
Heya folks, if it isn't mentioned in the comments with more likes elsewhere, quick comment about regional forms at 14:05. I did some experiments with the fixed given galarian meowth, turns out you CAN breed a new nature onto it, if you so desire. Simply have its breeding partner have the nature you want then have BOTH mons hold Everstones. The result is a 50% shot at the nature sticking to the regional mon! Great if you wanna do the whole shebang for a competitive viable mon, then breed for a shiny.
My method was female g.meowth + Zoroark for night slash, then female g.meowth and male k.meowth (who had Adamant). Both times mom had everstone and k.meowth also had everstone during the second run. The second batch ended up with 3-2 split of children with Adamant and the g.mama's nature. So as long as egg groups work, it is totally viable!
Hope this helps someone, g'luck out there folks.
You’re a lifesaver, thank you for doing this experiment!
@@leonrincon9425 You're welcome. Glad to know my mad unregulated pokemon science helped someone. My treasure is SCIENCE!... for science's sake.
I miss mass release like a younger sibling.
Haven't been into breeding since X and Y so this is very helpful. I especially appreciate the way you articulate yourself a very thorough and very to the point without getting overly complex. So far, this specific video has been the best video I have seen that explains the full run down of the mechanics
As a person who enjoys breeding in Pokémon games for all reasons: shinies, IVs, dex completion, etc. I really enjoy videos that explain the rules and nuances of breeding in these games. Especially in as much clear and concise detail as you do. I watch all your videos and really enjoy your content for all games. Please, keep up the amazing work! Much Love and Prayers 💚🙏
Mesagoza is perfectly made for egg hatching. There is a nice circle you can ride around in at full speed without having to stop and it's honestly like only a lap or two to hatch anything (that I've bred anyway). Not as mindless/easy as the Tauros circle in sun/moon but probably less boring too.
I think any time your breeding it's mindless circles 😂
I love the circle! I wonder if it was intentional. Running down the steps of the school is fun too :3
I use Los Platos. I lap in and out of town hatch the eggs and if none are good, step in out of town, set a picnic and rinse and repeat.
We use Los Platos for the same reason! And it's so small that we quickly ride to the outskirts to set up our picnics.
I use the Pokémon league spawn rigjt behind elite 4 tower nice open space to run no mons and you can picnic no prob
This is a lot of math without numbers
Just wanted to give a correction to what Austin John says about passing down egg moves at 18:43. If you give your pokemon a move this way it WILL pass down to its offspring. I was breeding Azurill using an Azumarill that got Belly Drum from Hariyama, and a ditto. And all of my Azurill were bred with Belly Drum. Thank you for the guide Austin!
This happened to me too, hopefully people upvote this. I tested this on the grass starter with 4 egg moves it learned via mirror herb. All 4 passed down on every egg hatched with a ditto.
This is correct I did the same thing last night and can confirm you can breed and the egg move remains
It still cannot be relearned from the remember move tab. I think that's what he meant. You either have to mirror herb it or breed it
Yeah I bred my shiny Azurill with the egg moves learned in this maner
Ya if your Azumarill already got belly drum, when you breed egg it will pass down the egg move. And also you can pass the egg move to same species without the Mirror Herb (which is introduce in Sword and Shield) For example if you already have the Azumarill have belly drum you can just pass the move to another Azumarill and it can be the same gender as well.
My favorite thing Austin does is teach as if you’ve never done this before while avoiding a condescending tone AND reiterating information that might otherwise go unnoticed. For example, mentioning that the female of the egg group is the species of Pokémon you’d get and breaking down item combinations between destiny knot and everstone make this video exceptionally thorough and well done.
I would also recommend your flame body Pokemon to hold a Smoke ball. So you can always flee a battle. That way your Pokemon level doesn't have to be super high.
@@kenirainseeker539 pokemon aren't killed
@@kenirainseeker539 eggs can gain ev? Wow I didn't know that
@@gothard5 yes they dead once gone what you think it happen to them? Dead
@@TheDragonfriday he said hatchlings implying Pokémon recently hatched
@@TheDragonfriday - nope not dead… they faint!
The pure joy of getting a shiny, brings tears to your eyes. It a majestic feeling, congrats and thanks for all the videos
The pure agony of getting 17 shiny Combat breed Tauros while trying to hunt Blazing Tauros, brings tears to my eyes. It's a heart wrenching feeling.
I'm an old school player who was heavy into breeding and raising competitive Pokemon in Gen IV. I'm just getting back into Pokemon now after a long hiatus and it's amazing how much easier everything is now, and you described and illustrated the process very clearly here, great stuff.
Thank you for all the infos and advices, it helps a lot. Hope you have a great day and stay healthy.
"now, passing egg moves is a little bit complicated so you probably want to write it down" I am so glad I kinda knew what was gonna happen
This is the only thing I have seen online that has helped me understand breeding, so thank you sir, you are excellent at what you do. 👏
The shiny showed up to say thank you to him.
Just in case nobody told you. You are an angel doin all of this work for us. The info the editing all of it. Thank you.
I just gotta share. I love Zorua and Zoroark. So I was Mesuda hatching on Sword a day before Scarlet and Violet came out. I got one 5 IV Shiny Zorua. Then an hour before the game came out, I got another 5 IV Shiny Female Zorua.
congrats!! :D
They are my favorite as well you are lucky
This guide was top notch, thanks for the help!
I’ve been playing Pokémon since Red&Blue and this is the first time I’ve actually “gotten” an in-depth walkthrough on breeding. Great video
I literally just learned that the destiny knot takes IVs from BOTH parents and I have been breeding since Ruby and Sapphire 😑 That would explain why sometimes I get a whole batch of studs, and sometimes I get a random assortment of crap when I'm just focusing on a partner with the nature that I want. This was very good to know haha
thank you for the guide!! i literally just completed my pokedex last night with tons of help from your other guides :,) excited for the shiny pokemon to roll in!
You're videos have been so helpful! As much as I love Pokemon, entering the post game can be overwhelming. Your video on training for raids has directly led me to having 10+ level 100 ev & iv trained Pokemon!
Clean, thorough, classy, high quality breeding guide / video. I came and I saw. I’m now ready to breed perfect stat soldiers. Thank you
Truly appreciate all the Pokemon info over the years!! And great video! Keep up the great work sir!
Favorite channel every time a new game comes out, you're a legend Austin, thanks for the hard work!
The pure, unbridled joy of getting that shiny Sprigatito is so absolutely wonderful to see :D
i love you..... i was searching for a guide for so long and finally gave up. Now i see your channel, found the first guide for evolutions and now this guide for breeding and FINALLY want to play again. thank you so much
This guy is the goat for Info lol
Pimpnite posted a guide 4 days ago
You couldn't find a guide?
I'm drowning in them..
@@NeoUzzy guess i was searching either too early or just not good enough xD
this is my first pokémon i’m trying to get a bit more competitive and thank you so much for this guide!
Man Austin I hope you take good care of yourself during content booms like this! We love all of it but be sure to treat yourself well while you’re working super hard ❤
And it's not even copy and paste clickbait leaks content. It's really good guides the game doesn't tell us.
Damn, the amount of work you put into this channel is insane. Awesome as always Austin!
Dude you have answered like 20 of my questions in one video and some of them weren’t even about breeding Pokémon thanks so much!!!
First off, THANK YOU for this awesome video explaining all of this! I finally understand all of the breeding mechanics in Pokemon. Now, I'd like to share what I've come up with as my go-to breeding method in ScVi that handles some of the issues, like dealing with the lack of mass release.
First, acquire a 6 IV foreign Ditto. Obviously. Give it a Destiny Knot.
Next, acquire the target Pokemon that you want to breed. In this example, let's use one of the 7 star raid event Pokemon, Charizard. This makes it somewhat easier as it starts out at 6 IV.
Now, this method assumes you are playing on a docked Switch, and not a Switch Lite. Make sure under System Settings -> TV Settings, that "Screen Burn-In Reduction" is enabled. This will dim the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity. This part is critical.
Pick a good location to picnic and hatch. I like using the Segin Squad (dark crew) base, just South of Cascarrafa. There's a nice loop path that's easy to circle when hatching, and you can picnic almost anywhere on the path, save for where some of the squad may be nearby. Plus, no random encounters, and no chance of any sparkling item spawns that can intermingle with gathering eggs.
Now, have a picnic with your 6 IV foreign Ditto and your target Pokemon. Make a Great Peanut Butter sandwich. Plant yourself in front of the basket, set the controller down, and proceed to watch YT. In 5 minutes, the screen will dim. This is your cue to pick up the controller and gather your eggs. 9 times out of 10, I always get 10 eggs doing this. This means over the course of the 2x egg power sandwich we made, we should get 60 eggs (in practice, with the few seconds of burn time during each collection, it runs out and you only get 58-59 or so, no big deal).
Now, make another GPB sandwich to get another 30 minutes of 2x egg power, and hatch the 60ish eggs. Swap the Ditto out for your Flame Body Pokemon, and bring in 5 eggs. Once you hatch the 5 eggs, go through them quickly, saving the ones with good IVs and/or the nature you are after, AND RELEASE THE REST. Do this by selecting the 2nd Pokemon in your party, and release it. This will shift the rest up by one slot, making it much easier to release them, and also helping to break up the monotonous grind of breeding. Releasing 100+ Pokemon after the fact sucks when you have to move the cursor each time. This way, the next Pokemon to release gets "autoselected".
If you do the math, you've done 2x GPB sandwiches, getting 1 hour of 2x egg power. That should be enough to gather 60ish eggs, and hatch all 60ish eggs, meaning you can average pretty damn close to 1 egg per minute overall, and also dealing with not being able to mass release.
Once you're done with a round, just rinse and repeat. And like any good baking recipe, this can scale down and up! Instead of gathering 60 eggs in one sandwich, get 30 at a time in the first few rounds, while trying to get your target nature and at least a 4 IV, and use the remaining 15 minutes or so of each sandwich to hatch the eggs. What I like to do is do 30 at a time, going after IVs, then once getting a 5 IV of the target nature, give it an Everstone, and go for a 6 IV. Once the 6 IV with the ideal nature is acquired, continue breeding with that, and now double the recipe. Do 2 or 3 sandwiches at a time, gathering 120-180ish eggs at a time, then hatch them, and release them 5 at a time. This also give you a chance to save any non-shiny 6 IV Pokemon you hatch for things like random giveaways or trades. Continue this process until you acquire your shiny.
If you are breeding down a non-Paldean Pokemon like the Galarian Meowth, it gets even simpler, since you have to give it an Everstone from the start, so you don't need to care about going after nature, just breed down the IVs until you get a 6 IV.
I've used the method successfully multiple times now (Cyndaquil, Oshawott, Sobble, Galarian Meowth, Hisuian Zorua, Fuecoco, and Johtonian Wooper). And if you get lucky in your breeding, and get the shiny super quick (like I did with Quaxly in 19 eggs), you just mint and hyper train it!
I hope this helps out anyone that sees this!
Best comment ❤
Austin just wanted to say thanks for your great videos and consistency. I’ve been watching you since Sun/Moon and truly enjoy your content. To the point, well presented, and family friendly. Hope you never quit, you’re a legend in my mind!
I don't know what I'd do without Austin John's videos. Informative, accurate and entertaining. Thanks for helping us survive launch week! ❤️
fr
truth
Yeah, even if it’s a video about a feature I won’t be using, I always enjoy watching his videos.
Let's give a shout out to our buddy ditto, who respects pokemon whether they are male or female.
Thanks Austin i watched other videos and they did not make sense but you do everything slow thank you
you deserve a vacation after all of this research you’ve done for us i swear. thank you for all your hard work
Very precise, very rigorous and straight to the point
Amazing video 👍
Thanks for making such a straight forward and informative guide!
John, I would just like to say thank you for making such understandable and high quality videos. I’ve found my self living under a rock occasionally and your videos have always helped me learn new things and perfect different skills for some of my favorite Nintendo games.
-Thank you John!
You always know when to release the right videos for me! Just finished the living Dex so was going to work on shinys today!
how are you verified?
Being a long time pokemon player, I just discovered your channel with the release of S&V. Your videos are soooo well done, thank you so much for all the work and the help that you provide !
I know all of this already. And yet, this is the second time I watched this video on breeding Pokémon. You really have a knack for explaining this stuff in a captivating manner. Added to likes for a future rewatch 😉
This vid was great! Thank you. Stoked for your shiny!
Thanks for all the work and research you do for the community
my mans is going crazy pumping out videos to help us as always, you’ll be in for a long ride with tears of the kingdom coming fairly soon. thank you for the grind and effort whenever these games come out and keep up the amazing work austin ❤
This helps me so much thank you 😃
despite loving to breed pokemon, its nice to get a refresher or see whats new in the games. very fantastic video as always austin, you make the best guides.
I usually hatch my eggs in Mesagoza, has a nice big circular area to run around in and no battles to worry about.
Bro, you're a life saver, I genuinely had no idea what I was doing.
Your content is absolutely incredible man! Keep killing it.
The bug gym I find is the best spot to hatch eggs safely, there is a space that has two goals and is fenced off so you can hatch eggs without worrying about running into wild pokemon. Then you go to the hill right next to the field and breed some more
*Possible Spoilers Ahead*
If you're at the point where you can fly to the Zero Gate, the area in front of the door is perfect for hatching eggs. You just hold left or right and dash, and the camera follows you so you don't need to manually rotate it. And you can set up a picnic there for your Egg sandwiches!
Thanks!
Nice I been doing it in team star areas this way better
After nearly 10,000 eggs masuda method + shiny charm I feel pretty confident saying this area is bugged for shiny breeding. Have you ever hatched a shiny here? I'm honestly curious because this is getting ridiculous.
Not yet, but to be fair I haven't hatched that many eggs. I've only hatched around 90 Sprigatito eggs there doing a box or so between other hunts.
Edit: Just hatched a shiny Sprigatito, here. A female to boot! So yeah, not bugged as far as I can tell. Good luck, to you!
Austin is the best Poketuber i've come across in recent years. Insane upload schedule, on-point content that is informative and concise, and a lovable personality. Love it, keep it coming!
By far the most concise and helpful video in a long time about breeding.
Omg. The Gerudo theme song for the shiny was amazing. Loved it.
One MAJOR correction and a two minor things:
Egg moves from Mirror Herbs do in fact breed down. They can also be relearned. I have done this many times. 18:43
Naive is not a neutral nature. 12:31
After being so histrionic about egg move simplicity, you neglected to mention that holding a Mirror Herb is a necessary step at 18:33. You briefly reference it later in the video, but this will likely confuse newcomers.
Also, as someone who hatches a lot of eggs, something incredibly important to mention is how quickly parents produce them based on their fondness toward each other. Two Pokémon of the same species from different OTs would be the fastest, and two different-species Pokémon from the same OT would be the slowest. The "Masuda Ditto" is right in the middle, and is a great catch-all-so to speak-if you're not planning on spending days hunting for a shiny due to bum luck.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught some of these errors. Unfortunately this has become commonplace with him. I like him, but sometimes I feel like he rushes these videos to get them out without fact checking everything. His Animal Crossing flower breeding guide was a hot mess.
Thank you so much for the info about passing down the egg moves with mirror herb
Egg moves transferred by Mirror Herb cannot be relearned on the Pokemon they were transferred to. I used the Mirror Herb to give my Starter Sprigatito Petal Blizzard, but since Petal Blizzard is inferior to Flower Trick, I eventually replaced it with another move, and Petal Blizzard is not on my list of moves to relearn.
@@ultlifeform The list of total moves to relearn is small enough that it is gone until you relearn it [via Mirror Herb]. However, under normal circumstances this is possible. Again, I have done it several times. In the Belly Drum Azumarill example, the offspring will be born with the move and can re-learn it if you haven't given it too many more moves of Egg/TM category afterward.
I think I misunderstood what you were saying. My original correction to AJ stands, as it does pass down and the offspring can relearn it, but the FIRST Pokémon you teach it to cannot-I just tried that. Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the hard work and detailed explanations. They are the best and I have learned so much from you! Don’t forget to rest! 🎉
Thanks for the video, I think this is the first time ever that I'm going to try the breeding mechanics in a pokemon game.
I have become interested in competitive battling and breeding. This video was very helpfu. Thank you for making it.
I LOVE HOW WHENEVER AUSTIN JOHN IS ABOUT TO GET TO THE GOOD STUFF THERE'S A CHANGE UP IN THE BACKGROUND MUSIC
I forgot how good of a informative youtuber your are
Dang, this video is good! Austin John always has my back when it comes to guides!
14:50 you can still influence the nature on a regional form. You just need to give the natured ditto an everstone as well, but you'll need to then breed the ivs back up afterward.
Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos!
As Austin hatched his shiny sprigatito I looked up at my game and I was like why does my look the same and that’s when it hit me, perfect timing
Thank you that helped me out a lot. Easy to understand
Awesome videos and information as ALWAYS ! Austin John the GOAT. Hope to meet you one day bud.
I had no idea you could also pass down a regional variant using an everstone. Always something new to learn about breeding it seems!
Grats on the easy shiny! Shame it happened before all the extra steps to make it better but can't complain about that!
"Deli Costco"
Your videos are very concise and helpful. Thanks
I love all your subtle music/media references and how you just move on like it's nothing xD
What my husband and I love about Pokémon season is looking forward to Austin John videos. We realized today that we use your name as if you’re a close friend.
“Austin says to do this…”😂
Thanks for all the great videos and taking the time to make sure they are easy to understand.
It should also be noted that if you only wanted to pass down one IV that is also possible with the EV training items. So if you wanted a 0 speed IV you can do that too :)
So helpful! as always, keep it up.
Thank you for this video, it help me out a lot !
Just got a shiny Fuecoco after 11 eggs, I feel so powerful
FYI: Best place to hatch pokemon en masse is the Olive city's weird soccer field thing. You can just go in circles without worrying about running into pokemon :)
Dude i love your content i apologies for not following sooner keep up the work man
you are the most insanely consistent person I have ever known, I watched a lot of your videos when you played breath of the wild the first time and then I stopped and now its like I didn't miss anything, so impressive.
Not sure if this is common knowledge or if it's been mentioned but I haven't heard it mentioned yet. I found this out just having started my 1st masuda method attempt. You don't have to keep checking the basket every 20-60 seconds to get an egg like you used to have to with the day care people. You can leave your game on, walk away for 10 minutes and come back and there will be 4/5/6/more eggs in the basket you can claim at once.
It caps at ten eggs at a time, so it's still good to frequently check
If you use a egg power 2 sandwich eggs will appear every 30 seconds in the basket, so you can just chill for 5 minutes and collect all 10 eggs.
Thanks for the great guide, AJP! Looks like besides the picnics it's pretty similar to SwSh :)
One cosmetical thing I'd like to add is the Pokeball the hatched Pokemon are in.
If I remember correctly, the Pokeball of the female is passed town.
So if you want a Pokemon in a certain ball, first catch a female of that species in that ball.
Man the way you explain things is always so helpful thank you again for an amazing video
This is by far the best video I've ever found on breeding. Saving for later reference!
Correction to the information at 14:38, that you have to use a mint for the offspring:
If the regional form doesn't have the nature that you want for your egg, but a another of your Mons of that Egg Group does, you can still breed that down and also the regional form.
You give BOTH parents an Everstone and the game will gamble between it's parents natures for the offspring, but it will still become the regional form (ofc providing, that the mother was the regional mon or the mother was a Ditto and the father had the regional form)
After breeding down the nature and the regional form, you can use the new made Pokémon (Regional form + correct nature) to replace the regional form parent, and give it an everstone to it. Potentially swap the other parent aswell, for example for a Ditto or whatever Father with close to perfect iv you can provide from that egg group and give that Pokémon the Destiny Knot. Happy Breeding
remember when i said there's only a FEW reasons you'd want 2 pokemon of the same species, and if you know those reasons, you prob know how to breed? this DEFINITELY falls into that category lol
@@AustinJohnPlays Prolly shouldn't have started with the term "Correction", that sounds way too smartassy ^^
This comment was ofc not to show off to you, but to help the community.
Since I'd describe myself as a competent breeder and I also just recently learned the double Everstone method by trying it myself during my Galarian Meowth Breeding, I thought this might be something even good breeders might still not know and worth sharing :) (In the comments that is, I totally see why you don't want confusing stuff like that in the video)
Love your content and was curious if I'd learn something new in this video... which I did! Didn't know the Egg moves don't pass down.
Thanks for your great work, good sir! Really helps keeping up with whats good to know about the game!
Keep in mind that if the other parent happens to be the same species, but in a different regional form, the game will also roll a 50/50 to decide what form the offspring will be born in, just like it does for the nature
@@AustinJohnPlays Can do the same with a Ditto with the right nature. 50:50 chance, regional form will be preserved. Farming some Dittos with relevant natures for competitive/raids around Medali isn't all that hard or time-intensive either.
@@AustinJohnPlays Evening sir, appreciate all the work you put in, any chance on a Master TM guide for locations ETC? Thank you =)
I can't wait to start competitively building teams, and playing online. Gonna shine like I'm terastallized, get my EVs up and IVs maximized. Can't wait for next VGC. I've never been more excited to get back into it ya see? So many options to choose for Terastallizing, Fairy, Ghost, Fire, with Skeledirge on board he'll end ya, gonna need to setup some ofrendas.
I may have just beaten Ryme and she was a HOOT.
That should have been gym challenge mini-game. Pick from a selection of verses under a time limit. Though I liked how the audience raised our stats. Made the battle feel more epic.
I haven't breed competitively since XY. I am excited to get back to it after seeing how easy it become. Thank you
Thank you as always!
I’ve played Pokémon casually for many years, and I know people have been breeding and getting really nice stats, but I didn’t know it was this easy! Omw
It wasnt but they make it easier everytime to try and combat cheaters.
Though nobody cares to put in any effort so this will keep getting easier.
It got really really easy the last few games because I guess people would rather just hack Pokémon than breed. But this game and SwSh make it beyond easy to make literally anything u catch into a competitive team through breeding and EV and IV training.
As a shiny hunting method this is truely killing me.. i've been trying to hatch a shiny Fuecoco for 3 days now.. with the shiny-charm und a foreign ditto i am currently about 1100 hatched eggs in and still nothing 😭
Merry Christmas Austin John and everyone
I just started playing this game because I got so hyped after my visit at the Van Gogh Museum. My last Pokémon game was XY. Scarlet is so much fun and your video's are helping allot! Thanks!
