Chocobo breeding 101:

[Aphel]

Question if i buy 2 covering letters one male and one female, can i breed them both togeaver or do i HAVE to use my chocobo?

One of the Chocobos HAS to be yours. Otherwise everyone would just buy Pedigree 9 Covers to breed and get a 9 fledgeling on Day 1.

The colour of you covering chocobo is random upon purchase and by the looks of it there are a lot of colours. Also the first chocobo I bred was gloom purple (the colour of the father) and that child chocobo is a pedigree 2 chocobo so i dont think the pedigree value has anything to do with the chance of getting a coloured chocobo. I imagine breeding two of the same colour chocobos will result in the same colour.

What exactly is an uncommon colour? This is not Final Fantasy 7 XD

Colour choice is random therefor all colours are of equal rarity/commonality.

Hey there, good info so far so thank you it helps alot
Sorry if I've missed this part but could someone explain this one for me;

The chocobo far left (Chaos II) is one I raised and bred from G1 + another G1 bird I raised to 40 and that was the outcome, no mix of star since both parents had 2 star in everything.
The one on right just named "Chocobo" is one I bought with MGP as a breeding partner, but what bothers me is this.
The stars you see is the stars the parents of those birds had, not their current stars, so why does mating two like that give the baby stars of its grandparents so to say?

This is a good question, I think I overlooked that a covering chocobo does not actually show you its own star ratings, but only it's parentage ratings. Also that breeding screwed you over pretty hard given the possible star rating you could have gotten! same thing happened to me with my first breeding.

Because your covering chocobo is female it might be possible that only its female parentage is considered which is the parentage star rating that your pedigree 3 chocobo has. You can quite clearly see that the male parentage has not even been taken into account with G2-F.

That is what I started to think aswell, You have to be lucky to get a male with good stars vs female with same good mix, get two babies with a good mix and raise both to 40. That gives you 10 chances to breed a good mixed one.
This is becoming more complicated than I thought but fun!

Edit: Unless it is 100% that the baby will keep the mix of the father's father? and same with mother's mother..
