Breeding

"The level of a Pokémon will also affect breeding. Trying to breed two Pokémon with a large difference in levels will not result in an egg."

No, it doesn't.--008xtreme 12:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Any evidence for it? --Ade Tyshio 20:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

It still works. I bred a level 51 Roselia with a level 16 Ivysaur. --Shiny Noctowl File:376MS.gifFind the secret page!File:224MS.gif ♪The oboe is the best instrument ever!♪ 20:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Far as I've seen, it's the same for me, it works whatever level. What should really be stressed is that baby Pokémon don't breed. TTEchidna 22:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Higher?

I heard somewhere that there are Pokémon higher than Lv. 100; is that just Missingno., or is there some other glitch, hack, or cheat that can do this? -Theininen 20:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

What about the level X cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game? X refers to an "off-the-scale" level. How would they get past lv100 in the first place? Bttsstewart 03:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Level 100

Hypotheticly, if I have a Level 100 battling another pokemon, and one of the others in my party has an EXP share, and my Level 100 wins, does the other one still get EXP? Yugiohguy1 16:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Pokémon that is Level 100's exp becomes fixed at that level, so it's exp stays constant. The exp will just go to what wants it next. I'm unsure if the halved exp still applies. I need to check. Gywall^(Talk) 16:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Pokémon holding the EXP. Share always gets half the experience if it does not participate in the battle. Ultraflame 17:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Unless there are multiple Pokémon with Exp. Shares. TTEchidna 05:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Rare Candy

The page states that you can't induce happiness evolution through Rare Candies. I have traded a couple of Eevee to Ruby/Sapphire and gave them Rare Candies until they evolved into Espeon and Umbreon. If tameness resets upon trading, then wouldn't this have not worked? ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 14:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

School of Hard Knocks

I seem to recall levels being directly mentioned in EP009; at the very least, Joe mentions the levels at which Pidgey and Pidgeotto evolve, and Giselle mocks Pikachu for being underleveled.

Could someone with access to the episode confirm this? You Can't See Me!`

I remember this too! I was going to link to the episode article regarding this, but it isn't mentioned there... ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 03:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is there, I just checked; but what do you want us to say about it? ^Moldy_Orange 03:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess this quote needs revised: "Levels are famously ignored completely in the anime". ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 03:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

That's what I had in mind. I'll write something up really quickly; feel free to change it. You Can't See Me! 21:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Breeding

I heard somewhere that no Pokémon can breed if it is under level 10. Is this true? Taromon777 15:35, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, except for those unable to breed at all. --×Kevzo8 15:39, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

No, that's not true. If a Pokémon is able to breed, it can breed regardless of what level they're at. It's been that way ever since breeding was introduced in the games in Generation II.

You might have confused Pokémon's breeding system with that of the Dragon Quest Monsters series. Dragon Quest Monsters does require creatures be at level 10 in order to be able to breed (or go through its successor mechanic in Joker; unsure if the same is true for the successor mechanic in Caravan Heart...). --Shiningpikablu252 17:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Manga

In the Pokémon Special manga level is mentioned numerous times. I suppose details should be included, but I do not have enough familiarity with the topic. --MiekL94 20:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Dissobediance

Yeah, this seems a little off...It says that if a player has less then two Gym Badges, traded Pokemon will simply flat-out not obey at all, but when I restarted my Platinum game, I started using some Lv1s from my previous save file, and they didn't start disobeying me until they reached Lv10. --Dual 23:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (Sorry, forgot to sign)
