Consequently there is no Flame Body Ability to make Eggs hatch faster.įor Shiny hunters, there is no Shiny Charm. Abilities also did not exist, so there are two layers of the breeding process that a breeder will no longer have to consider in GSC versions. Destiny Knot’s functionality is gone as well as Everstone’s since natures did not exist yet. Many mechanics that breeders rely on to make the process as easy as possible simply have not been added yet as of these games. This will be important to know for anyone wanting to breed for shinies later on. In generation two, there were instead DVs (Deter Values.) They work effectively the same way as IVs, except the numbers range from 0-15 instead. Well, IVs did not exist until generation three. Many breeders are familiar with IVs (Individual Values.) It is a 0-31 number assigned to each stat to give Pokémon individuality. This guide will serve to navigate the old yet new waters of Shiny/breeding mechanics for generation two’s games.

A myriad of changes has come to the franchise since these games were released.

Many current Shiny breeders will be playing a copy of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal (GSC) ready to grab their Destiny Knots and Everstones so they can breed the best Shiny possible. The Pokémon franchise has developed greatly in regards to how the game works in general. Update (10:00 PM January 26, 2017): We’ve updated the guide to include new details specific to Pokémon Crystal – specifically, the Odd Egg.
