Breeding in PTD 2 is probably the most challenging thing for most of us, especially with people like me who heavily relies on Incenses. I currently breed with 5 accounts, and I find myself using WAY too much time trying to equip incenses and trade them to different accounts to breed. Also, the breeding rate is low - Although I get the shadow/shiny that I was aiming for 2 times out of 3 cycles, it's time-consuming ness really annoys me. I think Sam should implement a way for us to equip items in the pokecenter, especially with all the lag, it has become an inveitable fact that breeding may slowly be taken over by other functions of the game.

But, some tips for breeding.

1) Dittos - Shadow dittos are pretty common, so transfer all of yours to ptd2 to increase shadow chances! Shiny ditto is even MORE common, so transfer them to breed rares like shiny riolus, goletts and vanillites, which you can easily trade for rare shadows or even just shadow dittos to increase your breeding chances.

2) Incenses - Incenses are hard to buy with daily coins, so I suggest you save up your daily coins and get a shiny starter, then sell it for 2 snd coins. You can keep your snd coins, but I cash them out by buying incenses. Here's the calculation:

Shiny starter=500 daily coins=25 incenses

2 snd coins = 40 incenses

3) Breeding with multiple accounts - Although it takes time, the payback is great - I usually get 3 shadows a week with 5 accounts. Sweet, eh?

I wish you all the best of luck with breeding.
