Kai's Journal

I've put together my delta surskit breeding team! I'm working on the theory that either the (non-surskit) parent's types, first type, or basic stage's types/first type influences the delta type. I found compatible pokemon of every type except Ghost and put them in the table below. I didn't put in water or bug because lots of the pokemon for other types have bug or water as a type, often first type

Type	Pokemon	Type(s)	Stage, type(s) of basic stage if evolved
Normal	Bidoof	Normal	Basic
Fire	Volcarona	Bug/Fire	Evolved, same
Electric	Joltik	Bug/Electric	Basic
Grass	Leavanny	Bug/Grass	Evolved, same
Ice	Walrein	Ice/Water	Evolved, same
Fighting	Heracross	Bug/Fighting	Basic
Poison, Dark	Drapion	Poison/Dark	Evolved, Poison/Bug
Ground	Arasprit	Ground	Basic
Flying	Scyther	Bug/Flying	Basic
Psychic	Slowbro	Water/Psychic	Evolved, same
Rock	Kabutops	Rock/Water	Evolved, same
Dragon	Searene	Dragon/Water	Basic
Steel	Durant	Bug/Steel	Basic
Fairy	Ribombee	Bug/Fairy	Evolved, same

That table took me an entire hour to do, especially because it didn't post the first time and I had to type it out all over again (on mobile) On the other hand I finally realized "Disable Editor" means "disable the thing that lets you know if your coding is off but doesn't let you copy or paste, or use shift or enter without deleting the previous character, on mobile" so now I can finally catalogue my breeding pokemon on mobile

With sei and shazi's bonus, I'm trying to hatch as many eggs as possible, so today is the day I'm going to try to click everyone online. Wheeeeee!

Sign you may be playing too much pokefarm: dreaming you had multiple dreams about hatching melans

Was it chance, or a premonition? I don't know, but I GOT MY MELAN Two down, one to go!

holy crap I got another melan My time, that's two in one day I've got all my melans but I still need more deltas but I guess that's all I'll focus on now? I'm in shock anyway shiny new girl!

I finally got my last delta surskit (steel, again), and now I can move onto my dewpider hunt! I just got a 98% pair which is a good improvement over the 94% pair I had, but I hope to get a 99% soon. Final surskit count: 307S/42A/3M/7283H

I took data on all the delta surskit I hatched to test the effect of breeding. I bred a surskit (or masquerain) with another pokemon that had a different type, most of which had two types, listed as "primary" and "secondary" based on the order listed in the pokemon's information. The ones that didn't have two types are listed as "single". Here are the numbers of deltas whose type matched their non-surskit parent's type, the v-wave that day, or neither. Final numbers: Single: 3 Primary: 25 Secondary: 14 V-wave: 32 Neither: 41 Based on this, if you use breeding to influence delta type, you've got (roughly) a 37% chance of getting (one of) the parent's type(s), a 28% chance of getting the v-wave's type, and a 36% chance of getting any other type. If the parent has two types, you've got a (roughly) 2/3 chance of getting the primary type over the secondary type, or a 25% chance overall. For the secondary type, it's a 12% chance overall.

Single	Primary	Secondary	V-wave	Chance
Yes	N/A	N/A	No	37%
N/A	Yes	No	No	25%
N/A	No	Yes	No	12%
Yes	N/A	N/A	Yes	65%
N/A	Yes	No	Yes	53%
N/A	No	Yes	Yes	40%

Got my first melan dewpider!

I wish melan dewpider's legs were actually black instead of greenish-brown. Unless you're directly comparing it to regular dewpider it doesn't look like it's melanistic
