Most pets will hatch as the same breed of, and from the same type of egg as, one of its parents. Talent A simply won't be one of the Talents available in its list of Talents to learn, and it can't contribute Talent A to any eggs of its own if it later becomes a parent.ĭerby Abilities are contributed the same as Talents. It may never have the ability to learn Talent A. If a parent knows Talents A & B, and the other knows A & C, your egg could inherit Talent B from one parent and Talent C from the other.

Talents can also be "lost" in a generation, even if both parents have the Talent. It is difficult to tell exactly how many Talents each parent contributes to each egg, but five from each is a safe assumption, and Talent manifestation so far mirrors the mathematical probability this would imply. An egg's averaged or directly contributed max stats will be based on the parents' max stats when both parents were hatched. Furthermore, the dominant parent (explained below) need not be the parent who contributes two stats directly instead of one.īoosts to a parent's max stat which it acquired from a learned Talent do not affect the max stat it contributes to an egg. This may not always be the case, however.

From my observation (from the experiment below and others) two stats are always mixed, two come from one parent, and the final stat comes from the other parent.

How those traits are inherited is different for each trait.Įach stat's max will either be the average of both parents' max stats (rounded down) or will be contributed directly from one parent or the other. 1.2 Talent (and Derby Ability) ContributionĮach egg will be a combination of its parents' traits.
