"The two seem to match perfectly." - perfect pair (different OT, same species)

"The two seem to get along very well." - second best (same species, same OT / event + counterpart, different OT)

"The two seem to get along." - different species, different OT / event + counterpart, same OT / Ditto (OT doesn't change the message for Ditto; not sure if it affects breeding rate)

"The two don't seem to like each other." - still breed, but very slow (different species, same OT)

"The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other." won't breed at all - different egg group / same gender / Undiscovered egg group

"The two play with each other, but only as brother and sister." - siblings



event + event, different OT - best event rate, best breeding rate (perfect)

event + event, same OT - best event rate, second best breeding rate (very well)

event + counterpart, different OT - second best breeding rate (very well)

event + counterpart, same OT - breeding rate "get along"

event + ditto - breeding rate "get along"

event + non-counterpart, different OT - breeding rate "get along"

event + non-counterpart, same OT - breeding rate "don't seem to like"




wiki says that counterpart + event has a better event rate, but I'm not sure whether that's verified by riako

since theoretically, the species is determined 50/50 by parent.

If they're both events, you'd get X% counterpart from each parent, so (2X)% event eggs, and (100-2X)% counterpart eggs

If one is an event, and the other is the counterpart, you'd get 50% counterpart, X% event, and another (50-X)% counterpart

if one is an event, and the other is a non-counterpart species, you'd get 50% of the non-counterpart, X% of the event, and (50-X)% of the counterpart

So event + event should have the best event rate. But any other combination would have the same event rate, at half of the rate when breeding event + event; counterpart shouldn't affect the event rate.

but yes, overall, event + counterpart has the second best breeding rate, so it's still better than ditto
