Breeding Question

Does the natures of the Pokémon that are breeding affect the eggs? Just curious, as the natures of the Pokémon I'm getting from eggs are similar.
 
Does this work too if the female parent is a 3rd Gen Poke (IE from Emerald) and the male from 4th Gen (IE DP)?

From my experience, it hasnt worked...

All others have worked with the everstone though...3rd Gen w/ 3rd Gen and 4th w/ 4th.
 
does it effect their characteristic (the thing below their nature that has to do with what their best iv is, like proud of its power, and stuff like that)?

In a way, yes. A Pokemon gains one IV from each parent, so if it's a high one that gets passed along, it's quite possible that you'll have the same message on the children.

Correction: this is what happens, citation X-Act's guide:

How the game provides IVs to an egg

Before we start our breeding guide, you need to be informed of how exactly the game assigns the IVs to a baby. This actually differs from game to game.


1. IV Breeding in EDP

The IVs for the baby are first created at random. Then, a random IV from either parent is inherited to the baby. Then, any random IV except an HP IV is selected from either parent and is passed to the baby. Finally, any random IV except an HP or Defense IV is selected from either parent and passed to the baby. These three random IVs may overlap, that is, the same random IV can be chosen to be inherited in the second, or third, IV transfer.

Let's give an example:

Parent A has the following IVs: 21, 7, 26, 15, 4, 10.
Parent B has the following IVs: 5, 3, 16, 30, 28, 20.
(These, and all IV sets that will be listed, are written in the following order: HP IV, Attack IV, Defense IV, Special Attack IV, Special Defense IV, and Speed IV.)

First, the baby's IVs are generated at random: 18, 0, 9, 14, 11, 27.

Then a parent's random IV is chosen, and passed to the baby. Suppose Parent A's Speed IV is chosen first. So now the baby's IVs are: 18, 0, 9, 14, 11, 10.

Then a parent's random IV (other than an HP IV) is chosen, and passed to the baby. Suppose Parent A's Defense IV is chosen.
So now the baby's IVs are: 18, 0, 26, 14, 11, 10.

Finally, a parent's random IV (other than an HP or a Defense IV) is chosen, and inherited to the baby. Suppose Parent B's Special Attack IV is chosen. And the baby's IVs thus become: 18, 0, 26, 30, 11, 10.

Note that the amount of IVs passed from the parents is not always 3, for the following two reasons. Firstly, the random baby IVs created at the start might match some of the IVs of the parents, which would seem as if the baby got passed more than 3 IVs. Secondly, two or three of the IVs passed to the baby might be in the same stat, which would seem as if the baby got passed less than 3 IVs.

This means that the baby will always inherit between 1 and 6 IVs from the parents. The chances are as follows:

1 IV: 2.44% chance
2 IVs: 34.41% chance
3 IVs: 53.01% chance
4 IVs: 9.55% chance
5 IVs: 0.58% chance
6 IVs: 0.01% chance

The majority of eggs (about 8 out of 9 eggs) will have 2 or 3 IVs transferred from the parents.

HP and Defense IVs are harder to inherit from the parents than the other IVs. This is different from the other games (see RSFRLG IV breeding), where each IV has the same percentage of being transferred to the baby (16.67%). The percentages for Emerald (and DP) are as follows (considering also the fact that the random IVs generated for the baby can end up to be the same as that of one of the parent's IVs):

HP: 8.02% chance of being inherited
Atk: 19.55% chance of being inherited
Def: 13.78% chance of being inherited
SpAtk: 19.55% chance of being inherited
SpDef: 19.55% chance of being inherited
Speed: 19.55% chance of being inherited

This means that in EDP, the Attack, Speed, Special Attack and Special Defense IVs have a better probability of being passed to the baby than in RSFRLG, while the HP and Defense IVs have a worse probability of being passed to the baby than in RSFRLG.

SUMMARY: Emerald, Diamond and Pearl
1. The baby’s IVs are created at random.
2. Then a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.
3. Another random IV from Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.
4. Finally, another random IV from Attack, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.


2. IV Breeding in RSFRLG

The IVs for the baby are first created at random. Then, three random IVs from either parent are successively inherited to the baby. These three random IVs may not overlap, that is, the same random IV cannot be chosen to be inherited in the second, or third, IV transfer.

Let's give an example to make things clearer. Suppose the parents have the same IVs as before. Let's recapitulate:

The first parent (Parent A) has the following IVs: 21, 7, 26, 15, 4, 10.
The second parent (Parent B) has the following IVs: 5, 3, 16, 30, 28, 20.

First, the baby's IVs are generated at random: 18, 0, 9, 14, 11, 27.

Then a parent's random IV is chosen, and passed to the baby. This is repeated three times.

Suppose Parent A's Speed IV is chosen first. So now the baby's IVs are: 18, 0, 9, 14, 11, 10.

Then Parent A's HP IV is chosen. So now the baby's IVs are: 5, 0, 9, 14, 11, 10.

Finally, Parent B's Defense IV is chosen. And the baby's IVs thus become: 5, 0, 16, 14, 11, 10.

Note that the amount of IVs passed from the parents is, again, not always 3, but this time, there will always be at least 3 IVs that are passed to the baby. As before, though, the random baby IVs created at the start might match some of the IVs of the parents, which would seem as if the baby got passed more than 3 IVs. The chances for each of them happening are these:

I don't think everstone on the female pokemon will work, unless the male is the same or from the same evolution line (IE pikachu and raichu) or the other pokemon with the female is a ditto. And yes, if you have a male of one pokemon and breed it with a ditto holding an everstone, the ditto does have the 50% chance of passing on it's nature.
 
Me to. I had no Idea how that worked before. Now, I could raise super scary pokemon, if I feel like doing all that breeding.

Seemed to work well for my last time, but I could be wrong.

After about two weeks and 570~ eggs, I hatched a M Adamant Lileep: 31 / 31 / 31 / 15 / 31 / 0 (HP Ice 64). Towards the last 120, I was regularly throwing out Pokemon with three perfect IVs.

wow! and i tought my 90 heracross (still dont have a great one yet...) and 80 onix and stuff like that were bad.
but 570ish!
thats crazy!

That's not the half of it. I still haven't gotten the Pokemon I'm going for; that was just a lucky accident of a Pokemon. I'm about 2 weeks in on breeding for my 31/31/31/31/31/2 Sassy Lileep. The first 120 eggs were a big mistake, because I didn't have a parent with a single 31, just one or two 30s. Fortunately, I got a few random 31s from that, and carried on from there.
 
You play that game to much. I'm happy for 31 in the stat I want, but 31/31/31/31/31/2?!?!?! That's incredible! If I battled you, I'd lose. Heck, if I got one with 3 perfect IVs, I'd stop getting eggs, hatch the other ones I had, get the best one out of those 5 and raise the best.

Being good at preparing the Pokemon and being able to actually battle and strategize are two different things. I just happen to be better at the former.
