The Genetic Factor

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

Hi guys. I read frequently about the genetic factor in Pokemon, but as yet
I do not understand this concept. What exactly is it, how does it affect
them, and is it passed on through breeding? What's the inside scoop on
this?

Thanks again.

Calling it "genetic" is a bit of a leap... a pokemon's varible stats are
programmed code, and very limited. I think what you might be talking about
are Egg Moves-- bred pokemon can be taught moves that their parents know,
that their species wouldn't normally know.

Other bits of the parent's code (like stats) are passed along as well.

Okay, I think some places call it DV (deter value). I see it mentioned by
both names in the various formularies on the web, but I have no real
explainations of this factor. They often link it with the "Box Trick".

Okay, let's talk about that. Let's say that a Pokemon species has a max of
300 HP, and that poke A has a max HP value of 250 and breeds with poke B
with a max HP value of 280. What does this do to the offspring's max HP
value?

I think this might be getting too involved for my purposes ... I need to
streamline this process somehow.

You haven't quite understood yet.

Each statistic has a DV (or a "gene", to continue your metaphor), and this
influences the value of the stat. However, the DV is NOT of the same value
as the stat. Statistics are variable - they (usually) get higher with each
level. The DV is constant, and there's no way of changing it.

In RS, the DV for each stat is a number between 0 and 31. The higher the
DV, the better the stat will be. However, this isn't the only thing that
affects the stat - it's just a starting point.

There is also what's now known as EV - Effort Value. Whenever you defeat an
opponent, you will get Effort Value (or stat experience) as well as level
experience. What you fight will determine the type of EV you receive.
Defeat a Magikarp, and your Defense stat gets a boost. Defeat an Electrode,
and your Speed will get a boost. Defeat a Chansey, and your HP will get a
boost. Some creatures will give two different types of EV at the same time,
but never more than two.

Each stat can only be boosted by up to 255 EVs, and then the stat will be at
its highest possible for that individual Pokémon. However, the Pokémon can
only receive up to 510 EVs for all the stats combined. This means you can
only ever have two max stats on any given Pokémon.

The drugs - Calcium, Iron, and so on - are to stat experience as Rare
Candies are to level experience. They boost the EVs of their specific stat
(by 10, unless it's changed since GSC). You can only use ten of these drugs
(i.e. 100 EVs) per statistic.

Breeding is quite erratic now. I believe two stats from the parents are
randomly selected, and those stats' DVs are passed down. This all got too
complicated and unreliable for me, so I've not really bothered breeding for
DVs.

Oh, and by the way, both DVs and EVs are invisible numbers, so the only way
to know them is to work them out. A Pokémon caught in the wild, bought from
Game Corner or received from an in-game character, will have no EVs, so if
you care enough, you can track the amount they receive by finding a list of
how many and what kind of EV you receive from every opponent defeated.

I have a table. Here are the mixed EVs:

They made the 510 EV cap to make everything more variable. In RBY (and GSC)
every poke could have every stat up to 255 EVs.

Please let me know how the table came out, and if you want the rest of it, I
can post it, but I got it from the web somewhere (meowth346 maybe?), so you
can search it out just as (probably more) easily.

The way I heard it is that the tm moves from the male can go to the baby and
the stat increass that the mom has effects the babys stats.
over many breadings you can get a baby that has higher stats then anything that
you can find in the game. But the game does not allow insest so you need many
breaders to get better pokemon.
The females being the main problum. as you max out the female on stat bosters
like iron and you get a second generation and then later you breed this one if
it is female after maxing it out and it will give you a 3 generation one. They
each are a little better then the last one but wount be able to do any breading
with anything that is in there famly tree. I don't know how lond you can do
this.
But useing dittos don't quite work the same as there are always the ones that
gives the stats and they may have drasticly diffrent stats then you are after.
But this is what i did in siliber and gold before I lost my sight.

Actually, in RBY/GSC the maximum effort/stat exp was 65,536 in each
stat. The amount of effort you got from beating a Pokemon was equal to
the victim's base stats (eg. a Chansey would give you 250 HP, 5 Att, 50
Speed, etc).

So does that mean HP tended to max out on stat experience quicker than the
others? I mean, Chansey obviously makes the gap much more clear, but pretty
much all Pokémon have a higher HP base stat than the others, simply because
HP is normally a higher number.

If the maximum is the same for HP as it is for all others, will it max out
quicker?

No, because the stat exp gain is taken from the *base* stats, which are
roughly the same for HP as for the other stats. It's the in-game stats
(after they've been run through the stat formula) that HP becomes
higher, due to having a different formula than the others.

I've got charts of all the base stats on my site (links below), although
they only list the final evolutions. HP actually averages somewhat
lower than most other stats...

Ah, right. Must've been seeing the extraneous variable that is Chansey's
stats that confused me.

Noted. I guess that's because fewer Pokémon are noted for their high HP
than other stats.
