Politoed Breeding

pokemon-fifth-generation

Politoed is an evolution from Poliwhirl when traded holding a King's Rock. It is one of Poliwag's final forms, the other being Poliwrath.

In Bulbapedia says some moves can only be learned by breeding, and this is my question.

When you Breed an evolved Pokemon, you will always get the first evolution. In cases like this (evolution by trade), does it work the same way? If I put 2 Politoeds in day care (male and female), will they produce an egg of Poliwag or Politoed?

Best Answer

Pokemon always breed into the lowest tier of the evolution.*

This means that mated pairs of both Politoed and Poliwrath will produce Poliwag eggs.

All four pokemon have the same moves available "via breeding", which makes sense, given the above.

* unless the requirements for a "baby" pokemon form is not met, in which case they will be the next-evolved form.
