How do you get Pokémon to lay eggs in Pokémon Crystal?

Answer 1

AnswerIn order to lay an egg, there are certain conditions that Pokemon need to meet. Firstly, Pokemon can only breed when placed in the Daycare Centre on Route 34 (South of Goldenrod City). When two Pokemon are in the centre, they have met the first condition of breeding. However, in order to produce an egg, they must meet all of the following conditions:

- One Pokemon must be male while the other must be female. One Pokemon of any gender paired with a Ditto will amount to the same thing and allow for breeding. Genderless Pokemon are generally unable to breed.

- Both Pokemon must be of the same species. A Pikachu cannot breed with a Squirtle, but can breed with another Pikachu and possible a Raichu. Egg groups do not apply to Crystal version.

- Neither Pokemon can be of a 'baby' species. Pokemon such as Igglybuff, Pichu, Cleffa and Togepi cannot create a Pokemon egg until they evolve as they are initially too young to breed.

- The Pokemon must get along with each other. You can check if your two Pokemon are friendly enough to breed by talking to the elderly man outside of the Daycare centre. If he says they do not get along well, your Pokemon will not produce an egg. If he says they get on fairly well, it will take some time for an egg to appear and if they get along splendidly, an egg will appear soon.

- Legendary Pokemon will not breed to create Pokemon eggs.
