breeding tool

Breeding calculator

Covers 288 breedable Pals and recalculates results from the 1.0 extraction, formula pool, and override table.

Data baseline

1.0 (official release, 2026-07-10); extracted 2026-07-12; 27 regression samples tracked within their verified scope.

Formula results involving an ignoreCombi parent are withheld until an in-game test resolves that parent rule.

Target child -> parents

Target child
After selecting a target child, all usable parent combinations are listed from formula reverse lookup plus overrides.

Parents -> child

Parent A
Parent B
After selecting parents, the result shows child, rule type, derivation chain and 1.0 status.

Shortest breeding chain: held Pal -> target Pal

Held Pal
Target Pal
Calculates one feasible path with the fewest breeding steps. Intermediate partners are assumed separately obtainable and no save data is read.

Official changelog

Breeding mechanics in 1.0

1.0 official release

Mutation

Breeding has a low chance to produce a stronger Pal; mutated eggs hatch Pals with higher stats and a unique passive skill.

Four functional cakes

  • Mushroom Cake:Slightly raises the chance of higher stats on newborn Pals.
  • Vegetable Cake:Produces two Pal Eggs at once.
  • Deluxe Vegetable Cake:Raises the chance of mutation and stat growth.
  • Special Cake:Raises the chance to inherit multiple passive skills from the parents.

Skills and selective breeding

Inherited active skills are now randomly selected from the three active skill slots set on the parents.

Many new passive skills create new possibilities for selective breeding.

Cake supply line

Every pairing consumes cake (5 flour + 8 berries + 7 milk + 8 eggs + 2 honey). Verified 1.0 spawn spots for Mozzarina, Beegarde and Chikipi, plus how to stop base Pals from eating your eggs.

Calculation rules (reproducible)

Rule typeCalculationSource
formulachild = the Pal in the formula pool whose CombiRank is closest to floor((rankA + rankB + 1) / 2); exact ties use the verified winner table.PalDB extraction layer (data/*.json)
special_override135 special override combinations are entered row by row and take priority over the formula.PalDB extraction layer (data/*.json)
gender_lockedThe Wixen / Katress line can return different children by parent gender direction and cannot be treated as an unordered pair.wiki.gg / Host Havoc baseline; direction samples are recorded in the data contract.

same_speciesSame-species pairing always returns the same species.PalDB extraction layer (data/*.json)

Why manual calculations may differ

When manual calculations and tool results differ, the cause is usually one of these: the formula is only the base rule, ties have a separate winner table, special combinations override the formula, gender direction is not interchangeable, or the data version is different. The derivation chain labels which rule was hit.

Common differenceHow the tool handles itPlayer next step
Only using the CombiRank averageThe general formula is only the base rule; overrides, gender direction and self-only breeding can change the result first.Read the rule type beside the result, not only the child name.
Tie handling is missingWhen two candidates are equally close to the target value, the verified tie-winner table decides the child.If your manual value lands between two Pals, check whether the derivation chain shows tie handling.
Special overrides were missed135 override combinations are entered row by row and take priority over the formula; manual formula checks are expected to fail on these.If the result rule type is special_override, formula verification does not apply.
Treating parents as an unordered pairgender_locked samples preserve parent direction and do not automatically treat A+B and B+A as the same case.Read the gender-direction FAQ
Different data versionSite data was extracted on 2026-07-12, baseline 1.0 (official release, 2026-07-10); the table you have may be older.Read data sources
Mixing old tools or community sheetsThird-party tables, old wiki copy and player experience are research leads, not the site's data canon.Read data sources
Reading a result without its data baselineThis tool uses the 1.0 (official release, 2026-07-10) baseline extracted on 2026-07-12. Formula samples with an ignoreCombi parent are withheld until an in-game test resolves that rule.Read status guidance
