what are the rates for producing eggs in the daycare? it's been several hours and i haven't received one egg. both pokemon are compatible (same species event mons) and holding everstones. there is about 1k pd in the daycare right now. i've been active and interacting onsite if that matters. i don't remember it being this tough a few years ago...is it just sheer bad luck? sorry if i miased anything. i haven't played the game in a long time so i'm rusty

I'm not sure anyone ones the true rates in the daycare other than Riako, but I know that the compatibility of the pair affects the rate of eggs you can get.

The chances of your breeding couple producing an egg are increased with better breeding pair compatibility. You can find out how compatible your breeding pair are by reading the text below the breeding pair at the Daycare. Consider choosing a breeding pair that would get along well so that they can produce more eggs.

The following messages may be shown:

"The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

"The two don't seem to like each other."

"The two seem to get along."

"The two seem to get along very well."

"The two seem to match perfectly."

To have a "perfect" pair, the OTs of the Pokemon have to be two different OTs (like if you were hunting Gible, one Gible from myself and another from user123 would make a perfect pair). My Grovyles for example, have different OTs, and they're a perfect match.

Event Pokemon do take a little longer, as they produce both the normal mon it's based on, and the event mon. So when you do get an egg, make sure to scan it!

There are a couple other things you can do to boost the breeding chance.
• The Fountain can reward you with a breeding boost, but it is random and you could end up getting nothing at all.
• Flutes boost breeding. White and black flutes will double the chances for 7 and 30 days respectively. They cost nuggets, so it can get a bit pricey.

It could just be your luck right now for sure. I've had days where I've gotten so many eggs I couldn't keep up, and then days where I'm lucky to get 3.
