The resultant eggs have a 75% likelihood of being the mother's species. To calculate that 75% chance, go here. From there, follow the diagrams found here. The father helps provide his children's movepools.
DETERMINING EGG MOVES
To determine a clutch's egg moves, simply ask yourself:
- Do both parents know it, and can the babies learn it by leveling up (but without evolving)? If yes, they will have that move.
- Is it a TM move that the father knows, that the babies can learn without evolving? If yes, they'll have that move. TM moves comes from the mother if the babies are of the father's species. If both parents are the same species, the babies can inherit TM moves from both parents.
- Is it an egg move that the father can transmit through breeding? (Check the wiki page to see!) If yes, they'll have that, too.
DETERMINING AMOUNT OF EGGS
The mother's egg cycles trump the father's, and in a Ditto mating, the non-Ditto's egg cycles do.
DETERMINING SHINY CHANCE
The chances of a shiny offspring are 1/50 (2%) with one shiny parent, and 1/25 (4%) with two shiny parents, per egg. We leave it up to the individual breeders to calculate the possibility for each clutch; here is an easy template!
