Whoops. After finishing, I realized I got carried away.
Egg Ranch unlocked late- or post-game which replaces Daycare as main breeding mechanisms for advanced pokemon breeders.
Introduces mechanics towards improving what would usually be inside an egg, including forcing certain IVs to be either 0, 1, 30, or 31, wondertrading eggs to other players, giving a relatively high chance to shinify egg, giving chance for egg's ability to be its hidden ability, choose nature, being able to influence odds of egg being male/female, and basically anything a breeder would want to be able to reasonably manipulate. Also new system to check if an egg is shiny and actually makes the egg's sprite shiny.
Would effectively streamline the breeding process. Also, the end of biking simulator.
Implemented specifically by introducing a new dragon pokemon, the Hatchling Pokemon. Big, fat baby dragon wearing eggshell pieces (similar to Manga Ryu-Ran from Yugioh but entirely harmless-looking. If female, evolves into Rearing Pokemon that is dragon/fairy. Small and carries around an egg. Support move-oriented. If male, evolves into Protection pokemon that is dragon/steel. Medium-sized and eggshell pieces have hardened into steel shell armor. Defenses-oriented with nice movepool, including Softboiled.
The two adult forms can be used alongside two parent pokemon at the Egg Ranch to hatch good eggs much quicker than the current method, assuming you know what you're doing.
