Single post in How to Breed Variants!

I am working with a travel-raddled brain, but I have some ideas of what's going on here, but I will do some thorough testing before I make a concrete decision. My first thought is that as variants are exclusives, they inherently create fewer eggs. These eggs can be either their regular counterpart eggs, or more rarely, the variant egg. (I do not know the exact rate of comparison between standard exclusive VS variant egg creation off the top of my head, haha, I really should write that down sometime) Even if they are paired with a regular pokemon that creates a Regular(tm) amount of eggs, I do not think/know for sure if the rate of variant eggs being produced is being influenced. (so i guess to sum up, i do not know if more eggs produced necessarily equals more exclusive eggs produced in this circumstance) [this is even more hard to tell as in a ralts/snoralts pair, both pokemon are making ralts eggs, but only one pokemon is making snoralts eggs] My brain(tm) is telling me that two variants of the same variant, while making less eggs overall, have double the chances of producing said variant egg as both pokemon are adding to the chances of the eggs being produced being the variant egg. I do not have concrete proof of this being the case, so I very well may be wrong, and the actual game mechanic may differ from what I am expecting. My second thought is that exclusive eggs are very, very, VERY inconsistent. I have gone thousands of interactions before with no exclusive eggs, despite 99% pairs, high happiness, + the red giga. Tests of 2,000 interactions are not NEARLY thorough enough to gauge the rates of exclusive egg production, and I will need much more thorough testing before I am comfortable coming to any conclusion. I hope this makes sense; this was the 3rd consecutive day of 13+ hours of driving per day and I am in dire need of rest, haha. It will take a while for me to test things on my end (to be very honest I will want a few days of Regular Normal Playing instead of thinking about this/data gathering) but I'll put it on my Mental List(tm)
