Ditto

[ngm]

I'm breeding my Skarmory with my Ditto and I'm trying to get an Impish nature. My Ditto has an Impish nature and I heard that if you give the Pokemon that your trying to breed a Everstone, it will have the same nature as the Ditto.
Is this true?

[Rick52]

Almost.

If you're breeding something with a Ditto, the Ditto gets the Everstone. Then, the offspring will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the Ditto.

Thank you again.

[Skittleman]

Does gender matter here?

[Shur'tugal]

Yes. Only female and Ditto can use this effect.

[SuperSimon]

no it doesnt matter

Yes it does. Only Ditto and female pokemon can use the everstone to pass down natures.

[Seerow]

If you breed Ditto holding an Everstone with a male OR a female Pokémon, or a genderless Pokémon that can breed (there are some, I think), the offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting the Ditto's nature. The gender of the Ditto's partner is irrelevant. You can also try the Everstone trick with two non-Ditto Pokémon that will breed, but the female has to be holding the Everstone if you want the 50% chance of passing the anture, and the 50% chance will be of passing the female's nature. You can't pass the nature from a male.

So to summarise,
Ditto with Everstone + any gender partner = 50% chance of inheriting Ditto's nature.
Ditto + partner with Everstone = nature not affected by that of the parents.
Female with Everstone + Male = 50% chance of inheriting female's nature.
Female + Male with Everstone = nature not affected by that of the parents.

can u have a male ditto and a male infernape and still get a chimchar?

[Shur'tugal]

Ditto are genderless.

[Junior-D]

Ditto are genderless.



but u will still get a chimchar

[infenape262]

what is the chance that it will be female

and can ditto breed together?
i think they can but im not sure

[JCrosley]

Ditto can breed with anything that has a gender. It only took me 4 trys to get a female. If you are patient, and breed for it, you can get a female although the percentage is only 12.5% for a female to 87.5% for a male. If you still can't manage to get one, you can PM me and I have a Lvl 1 female I bred.

[infenape262]

cool but how would i get it?

if u were to give it to me forsay

[JCrosley]

Do you have Wi-Fi? If so all we need to do is register each other in Pal Pads and go to the bottom level of any Pokemon center to trade. If no Wi-Fi, no way to trade.

[infenape262]

o well then it wont work cause i dont know how to register for wi-fi

well i dont know how to install wi-fi

thanks tho

[Junior-D]

look in the book that came with the game there is insructions there. i think

[JCrosley]

go to www.nintendowifi.com and it will tell you what you need for Wi-Fi trading.

and can ditto breed together?
i think they can but im not sureYes, you can breed two Dittos to get another Ditto.

[ngm]

No, you can't.
I tried and the guy said they prefer to play with the other Pokes.

[Bulbasaurus Rex]

Maybe it's just that pair of Dittos. Try it again with a different pair.

[Rick52]

Dittos can't breed with one another. If you want another Ditto, you're going to have to either catch another one or trade for one.
