Base Genetics

Base inheritance uses a colour group, a shade and a rarity. A pairing draws from its parents' colour groups.

Black

Dark colours

White

Light colours

Red

Vivid or multicoloured bases

Shades

Parents	Possible offspring shades
Dark × Dark	Dark
Light × Light	Light
Medium × Medium	Medium
Dark × Light	50% Medium; 25% Light; 25% Dark
Light × Medium	50% Medium; 50% Light
Dark × Medium	50% Medium; 50% Dark

Rarities

Common: Kanto and Alolan. A common regional base can still appear when breeding rarer parents.

Uncommon: Available through catching and Base Rerollers.

Rare: Available through catching or breeding uncommon, rare or special bases.

Special: Includes event applicators, raffles and combo bases. A special base normally needs a parent with that specific base to pass; its colour group and shade do not control passing that special base. Combo bases have their own factor rules.

Breeding examples

Storm × Black Ice: Alolan, Kanto, Black Ice, Melanistic Alolan, Melanistic, Onyx, Deep Sea, Storm, Coffee, Daydream and Evening.

Apricot × Moonstone: Kanto, Albino, Morning, Flurry, Paintrush, Morning Mist, Apricot, Topaz, Seagrass and Moonstone.

Wild Blue × Wild Blue: Kanto, Wild Blue, Cloudy and Peach.

Regional Genetics

Two Kanto parents produce the Kanto line; two Alolan parents produce the Alolan line. A Kanto/Alolan pairing can produce either line.

Black Ice × Red Velvet (Alolan): Alolan, Black Ice, Melanistic Alolan and Red Velvet.

Nocturne × Wild Blue (Kanto): Kanto, Nocturne, Chocolate, Flint, Rainy, Wild Blue, Cloudy and Peach.

Black Ice (Alolan) × Wine (Kanto): Kanto, Melanistic, Onyx, Deep Sea, Alolan, Black Ice, Melanistic Alolan, Void, Red Velvet and Sundown.

Traits, Mutations & Fusions

Traits are more likely to pass than mutations. An offspring receives each trait or mutation only once, even when both parents have it.

Delta's type is rolled randomly. Chimera's additional base is influenced by the parents' main and Chimera bases. A fusion's available stages depend on the parent's fusion stage; shiny fusions have their own chance.

A Pikachu fusion can produce a Pichu or Pikachu fusion. A Pichu fusion produces Pichu.
