Breeding 101 Recap

The last 6 weeks have been a one stop place for your weekly dose of Breeding. Breeding 101 has been a corner stone of the Pokémon Podcast. We are sad that we have to wrap it up for now. Here is the whole list of articles if you missed a week... or if you are new to the site. 
Don't worry, Breeding 101 won't be done forever, we still have many surprises to come with Breeding our friendly little Pocket Monsters. :)

Breeding 101: Hidden Power

/

Gather around the campfire children, today is the final installment in this wonderful series I like to call Breeding 101.  You are already armed with everything you need to breed competitive Pokémon.  You know how to breed for moves, Individual Values, and nature.  You can speed up hatching time with some handy Pokémon, and you know how to figure out your Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses.  But nothing can prepare you for the gelatinous hell-beast we in the breeding business like to call Hidden Power.

This week's installment comes to you with a very large disclaimer: No matter what you do, Hidden Power is going to be random.  No matter how much influence you have over your Pokémon's stats in the form of Power Items, you never truly have any sort of control over it.  So if you want to leave our digital band of heroes, I can't say as I blame you.  For those who are strong of heart, venture forth.  We shall slay this beast!
