Hello there, aspiring Pokémon breeders! Professor Elm here, ready to answer your burning questions about the wonderful world of Pokémon biology and, of course, breeding! You've come to the right place for expert advice.

Now, you're asking about breeding Pupitar with Ditto. That's a fascinating question that delves into some of the intricacies of Pokémon breeding mechanics. Let's break it down.

Firstly, we know that Pupitar is the evolved form of Larvitar, a Rock/Ground type Pokémon. Ditto, as you know, is the remarkable Transform Pokémon, capable of breeding with almost any Pokémon that can breed, regardless of gender. This unique ability makes Ditto invaluable for breeders.

Here's where things get a bit complicated. While Ditto can breed with most Pokémon, the offspring is always determined by the non-Ditto parent. In simpler terms, if a Pokémon can breed with Ditto, the egg produced will always hatch into the base form of the non-Ditto parent's evolutionary line.

So, applying this to your question, if a Pupitar is able to breed with Ditto, the resulting egg would hatch into a Larvitar, not a Pupitar. This is because Larvitar is the base form of Pupitar's evolutionary line.

However, and this is crucial, the question remains: Can Pupitar breed with Ditto in the first place? While Pupitar is the evolved form of Larvitar, which is in the Monster Egg Group, Pupitar itself falls into the Undiscovered Egg Group. This particular group has only one member: Pupitar. The significance of this is that Pokémon in the Undiscovered Egg Group cannot breed, not even with Ditto.

Therefore, despite Ditto's remarkable breeding capabilities, a Pupitar cannot breed with Ditto.

Remember, understanding Egg Groups is just as important as understanding type matchups and individual Pokémon strengths and weaknesses. It's all part of becoming a true Pokémon Master! Keep those questions coming, and happy breeding!

If you aren't sure how the egg group system works, try breeding him with a ditto, who can breed with any pokemon capable of making an egg. If you're trying to get a larviatar, also note that Pupitar has to be a female, unless you're breeding with ditto.read more >>
