To breed a specific gender in Pokémon, you need to understand that the gender of the offspring is determined when the egg is created, and it’s based on the species and gender of the parent Pokémon, with the female Pokémon having a 1 in 8 chance of passing on its gender to the offspring. The Cute Charm item can influence the gender of wild Pokémon, but it doesn’t affect the breeding process, so you’ll need to save and reload until you get the desired gender.
Understanding Pokémon Breeding
Pokémon breeding is a complex process that involves choosing the right parent Pokémon, ensuring they are compatible, and creating an egg. To breed Pokémon, you’ll need to choose one male and one female Pokémon from the same Egg Group, leave them at a Pokémon Nursery, and wait for them to produce an egg.
