PokeMMO Breeding Cost Calculator
Enter the number of breeding steps and fixed NPC items in your plan. The calculator totals consumed parents, Power items, and guaranteed NPC costs without guessing changing GTL prices.
Breeding cost estimator
Count breeding steps, Power items, and selected-gender fees before buying parents.
This estimate excludes the market value of parent Pokemon, Everstones, Pokeballs, and optional items. Power items are counted at the current fixed $10,000 NPC price.
This is a fixed-cost estimator, not a GTL price predictor. It deliberately excludes parent Pokemon and Everstone prices because those market values change.
What the Calculator Counts
Each breeding step consumes two parent Pokemon. A Power item costs $10,000 and forces one chosen IV from its holder to pass to the child. Since each parent can hold only one item, a single step can use zero, one, or two Power items.
Gender selection is optional and costs from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the species. Select the fee shown by the breeder for the child in your plan. The calculator adds that fee only for steps where you choose the child's gender.
For the mechanics behind those choices, use the PokeMMO breeding guide. Build the tree from the final child backward, count each pair once, then enter the totals above.
Costs Not Included
The result does not include:
- Pokemon bought from the GTL or caught for the project.
- Everstones used to preserve Nature.
- Pokeballs, travel, listing fees, or opportunity cost.
- A changing market price for the finished Pokemon.
This boundary keeps the answer reproducible. Add current GTL purchases to the displayed NPC cost after checking the actual listings you intend to buy.
How to Estimate a Multi-Step Breed
Start with the target IVs and Nature. Draw one box for every breeding action, including intermediate children. Count those boxes as breeding steps. Then count how many parents will hold Power items and how many intermediate children require a selected gender.
For example, a plan with seven breeding steps and two braces at every step consumes 14 parents and 14 Power items. Any selected-gender fees are added separately. Changing the number of steps immediately shows the cost of adding or removing a branch.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a Power item cost in PokeMMO?
- Each Power item costs $10,000 and is consumed during breeding.
- Does the calculator include parent Pokemon prices?
- No. Parent and Everstone prices change on the GTL, so the tool totals only fixed NPC costs.
- How many parents does one breeding step consume?
- One step consumes both parents, so the calculator counts two parent Pokemon per step.
- How much does gender selection cost?
- The fee ranges from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the species. Use the fee shown in the breeder interface.
- Can one breeding step use two Power items?
- Yes. Each parent may hold one, allowing up to two forced IVs in that step.
