How long does it take for Pokemon to breed in gsc?

I sent a female feraligatr and a male larvitar to a daycare so I could get a totodile with rock slide, but it’s taking forever for them to breed. I left my game on for 2 hours, but they still haven’t bred. Tips?

It depends on the species and ID of the Pokemon you are breeding.The process is different and more complicated in G/S/C than in other games, so pay attention for this next part.

In G/S/C, after you give both Pokemon to the daycare man, there exists a pre-calculated number based on how compatible the Pokemon are with each-other, we’ll call this number “A”. After this pre-calculated number is determined, another number between 1 and 255 is is randomly decided, we’ll call this number “B”. For every step you take, “B” is subtracted by one until it hits zero. Once “B” hits zero, another random number between 1 and 255 is generated, and we’ll call this number “C”.If “C” is lower than “A”, then you will get an egg.If “C” is higher than “A”, then you will not get an egg. If you do not get an egg, then this process repeats until you do.

The (estimated) pre-calculated numbers (or “A”) goes as follows:If the Pokemon you’re breeding are thesame speciesbut havedifferent IDs, the number is127.If the Pokemon you’re breeding are thesame speciesand have thesame ID, the number is96.If the Pokemon you’re breeding aredifferent speciesand have adifferent ID, the number is63.If the Pokemon you’re breeding aredifferent speciesbut have thesame ID, the number is32.

Basically, you have a higher chance of getting an egg if the Pokemon you’re breeding are the same species and have different IDs.

Good luck, my fellow Pokemon Breeder!

Walk around to get an Egg. The game decides when they will make an egg depending on how many steps you’ve taken, not how long it’s been since they were put in the daycare.
