My Phanpy won’t breed with the Sneasel

pokemon-sixth-generationpokemon-x-y

I got a male Sneasel, and I'm trying to it breed with a Phanpy, to share ice shards with it. However, they won't breed! I looked up the breeding charts, and the wiki says that they are compatible. So why won't they breed?

Best Answer

Phanpy and Sneasel are compatible, they are both in the Field Egg Group, and so can breed if the right requirements are met.

As you can see, from the table, your Pokémon must not be the same Gender if they want to breed. If they are, then you must catch one of a different Gender.

As well as that, there isn't a 100% chance you'll get an egg; obtaining an Oval Charm helps to increase your chance of receiving an egg.

See what message the Day Care Man gives you when you talk to him, to determine what is wrong with the two Pokémon you give him. (This is different in ORAS and in Generation II)
