This subreddit is for breeding discussion, help and tips only, keep all other content in its relevant sub. Thank you

Tips:

In Sword and Shield, egg moves can be passed to the other parent. Simple breed your Pokémon with a free slot with a Pokémon that has the wanted egg move.
Ditto can breed with almost anything
'Magma armour', 'steam engine' and 'Flame body' half the amount of steps needed to hatch an egg
There is a 80% chance of Females passing on it's ability (including Hidden Abilities), Males have a 20% chance of passing on their Hidden Ability if breed with a Ditto
If you breed two pokemon from different languages you are six times more likely to get a shiny pokemon (or 4 times for 4^th gen games)
