Egg Move Calculator

Advanced Egg Move Planner

Example Data Table

Formula Used

Move Coverage = Donor Available Moves ÷ Desired Egg Moves

Single Egg Success = Move Coverage × Compatibility Factor × Inheritance Factor × Group Multiplier × Method Multiplier × Trait Multiplier

Batch Success Chance = 1 − (1 − Single Egg Success)^{Eggs Planned}

Expected Success Eggs = Eggs Planned × Single Egg Success

Eggs Needed For Confidence = log(1 − Target Confidence) ÷ log(1 − Single Egg Success)

Total Hatch Time = Eggs Planned × Hatch Cycles × Minutes Per Cycle

How To Use This Calculator

Enter the target species and donor species first. Then confirm if both parents share a valid group. Add the desired egg moves and the moves already carried by the donor.

Next, choose the breeding method. Direct routes are easier. Chain routes need more planning. Add compatibility, inheritance rate, planned eggs, hatch cycles, and confidence target.

Press the calculate button. The result appears above the form and below the header. Review the single egg success, batch chance, expected successful eggs, hatch time, difficulty score, and advice.

Egg Move Planning Guide

What This Tool Measures

An egg move plan is more than a simple parent match. It depends on the target, donor, compatible groups, available moves, route style, and the number of eggs you plan to hatch. This calculator combines those inputs into a practical estimate. It helps you see whether a breeding route is efficient before you spend time on repeated hatching.

Why Compatibility Matters

Compatibility affects the chance that the plan will work smoothly. A strong match usually needs fewer eggs. A weak match may still work, but it often needs a better donor or a chain route. The calculator uses compatibility as a direct factor, so small changes can affect the final batch chance.

Direct Routes And Chain Routes

A direct route is usually the cleanest method. The donor already has the desired move and can pass it to the target line. A chain route is useful when the donor cannot connect directly. In that case, another parent may act as a bridge. Chain routes are powerful, but they add complexity and reduce efficiency.

Reading The Result

The single egg success rate shows the estimated chance for one egg. The batch chance shows the probability of getting at least one successful result from all planned eggs. Expected success eggs gives an average count. Difficulty score shows how demanding the plan may feel.

Improving Your Plan

Start by increasing donor move coverage. Then improve parent compatibility. Use fewer chain steps when possible. Add a setup bonus if your game, rules, or process supports helpful items or traits. If the calculator gives a low rating, try another donor, increase the batch size, or split the plan into smaller routes.

Best Use Case

This calculator is best for planning, comparing, and documenting breeding routes. It does not replace game-specific rules. Instead, it gives a structured estimate that helps you choose a stronger path and export your results for later review.
