Why Won’t Pokémon Breed in Scarlet and Violet?
Pokémon won’t breed in Scarlet and Violet if they are not in the same egg group and are not of the opposite gender, or if one of the Pokémon is a Mythical or Legendary Pokémon that cannot breed, and the solution to this problem lies in understanding the breeding mechanics and egg groups in the Pokémon series. To breed Pokémon, players must have two compatible Pokémon in the same egg group, with one being male and the other female, or use a Ditto, which can breed with any Pokémon except those in the Undiscovered egg group.
Understanding Pokémon Breeding Mechanics
Pokémon breeding is a complex process that requires a good understanding of the breeding mechanics and egg groups. In Scarlet and Violet, breeding takes place during picnics, and the chances of getting an egg depend on the compatibility of the two Pokémon.
