They aren't doing it!!!

[Spiny]

I'm trying to breed a Lead skarmory with Whirlwind and Brave Bird. I caught a female, put it in Day care with My Male Staraptor (with all the required moves) and waited. It's been 2 days now and they haven't...well...you know....got jiggy yet.

I'm fully aware of the system used to denote the % of which an egg appears, but i'm wondering if it's possible to change it a speed up the properties. Is it possible not to ever get an egg? at all?

Well this belongs in the simple question thread and do they like each other?

 

[Spiny]

The guy outside says "They don't seem to like eachother much". Is there a way to change this?

 

[Blazevoir]

No. The fastest way to get an egg is to breed two Pokémon of the same species with different OTs. Any other combo will be slower.

Your Pokemon are compatible, you'll just need to bike around more. There is no way you've been biking around for 2 days without getting an egg. Generally it may take more like 5 minutes (or the equivalent # of steps) to make an egg instead of maybe 1-2 or less if you have a more optimal combination.

What are OT's?
And are you saying that you don't just wait, you have to walk?

Yes. It is done based on the amount of steps you take, not the amount of time that passes. OTs are original trainers, if you have a Scyther of yours and a Scyther of someone else's, those would be the most optimal match in terms of egg production.

oh....SON OF A...

Thats really helped.

 

[Troggy]

Good luck dude. The eggs will come, just keep biking xD

Actually, I meant to say ID no. Here's how it's broken down:
Same species, different ID no. 70%
Same species, same ID no. 50%
Different species, different ID no. 50%
Different species, same ID no. 20%
Every 256 steps, the game will check the compatibility of the parents. The percentages above are the likelihood that an egg is produced. (paraphrased from Bulbapedia)

Next time, use the Simple Questions thread. If it's a question that has an answer, ask in there. If you're asking for an opinion, you're probably better off making a new thread if one doesn't already exist.

Offer 'em up in the Offering Station. They should move moderately well.
