Breeding

# Breeding Bitmon

Breeding produces eggs by gathering two compatible Bitmons in the Breeding Center. Eggs can inherit various aspects of the parents, such as their stats. Using certain items allows the player to manipulate this process. The chance of two Bitmon producing an Egg is determined by their species and their Original Trainers.

### Breeding Process

Male and female Bitmon need to share the same species, evolutionary lineage or egg group family and be opposite gender to be able to breed. (except metal Bitmon) The compatibility probability indicates how likely it is that both Bitmons will have an egg in the time indicated by the lowest charisma of both Bitmons.

#### Metal Type Bitmon

The metal type Bitmons work differently, since they do not have a gender, they can reproduce asexually, however, one of the two Bitmons needs to hold an item called steel fling.

#### Fertility

Fertility determines the number of times a Bitmon can breed. The Bitmon’s maximum fertility is 8. After an egg is produced, the fertility value of the parents decreases by 1. The offspring will inherit the lower fertility value between the two parents after the egg is produced. A Bitmon has a Max Fertility value based on UV count of 49 or 50. For each of these values, Fertility is reduced by 0.5, rounded down. Since Chroma Bitmon spawns with at least 3 max UV, his maximum fertility is 7.

2 or 3 UV of 49 or 50 gives a max fertility of 7 (8-1).

4 or 5 UV of 49 or 50 gives a max fertility of 6 (8-2).

6 or 7 UV of 49 or 50 gives a max fertility of 5 (8-3).

### **Charisma**

Each Bitmon has a charisma value that can be random from 1 to 8, charisma within breeding is used to know the time in which two compatible Bitmon have an egg, (based on the lowest charisma of both). a charisma value of 1 represents the worst scenario and the possible reproduction process will have a time period of 24 hours, each value above 1 decreases the possibility of reproduction by 3 hours.

Possible Breeding period = 24 + (1 -Charisma ) x 3

 24

### **Inheritance**

Various aspects of the parent Bitmons are hereditary, some of which depend on the use of items.

**Species**: The species of the offspring will be the same as the first form in the evolutionary line of the female parent.

**Fertility**: The offspring will inherit the lower value among the fertility values of the parents after the egg is produced. For example, if one parent has a fertility of 8 and the other has a fertility of 6, after producing an egg, their fertility will drop to 7 and 5 respectively, and the offspring will also be born with a fertility of 5.

**Unique Values**: Each offspring stat has a 40% chance of inheriting the highest UV value among the parents, a 40% chance for the average (rounded), and a 20% chance for the lowest UV value. Breeding items can be used to force certain stats from a parent to be inherited to offspring.

**Abilities**: Abilities are not inherited without the use of breeding items. There is a 50% chance for each of the two traits that the offspring species can have.

**Techniques**: Many species can inherit their techniques. This is achieved by breeding with parents who have the respective active techniques, meaning all four techniques that can be used in battle. Other techniques are not inherited and are instead learned by leveling up or through training courses.

**Chroma**: By default, the chance of hatching a Chroma Bitmon is the same as finding one in the wild, which is 1 in 10,000. For each Chroma parent, this chance increases x10, resulting in a rating 1 in 1000 for one Chroma parent and 1 in 100 for two Chroma parents.

### **Perfect Bitmon Breeding**

Breeding equipment can be used to breed Perfect Bitmon that has the highest value of 50 for all 7 UV. For each statistic, there is an associated DNA enchantment item.

There are different ways to create a perfect Bitmon over multiple breeding iterations, depending on the parent Bitmon’s max UVs, their remaining fertility and desired abilities. The general idea is to use Item equipment for maximum UV that is not shared between the two main Bitmons, to guarantee maximum UV in the offspring.

### **Eggs**

Eggs are obtained via the breeding process by putting two compatible Bitmons together. An egg's appearance depends on the first type of Bitmon species it contains.

#### Obtaining Eggs

Breeding is done at the Breeding center in the web app. Two pairs of Bitmon can be dropped at a time for 100 Bit tokens each. Reproduction can be canceled at any time before an egg is produced. Once an egg has been produced for each pair, the egg and parental pair have to be retrieved before another breeding session can be started.

Egg incubation on the player's team lasts between 10 and 90 minutes, depending on the capture rate of the species. The incubator item increases the hatching speed to 100%.
