Key takeaways
  • Keeping four-passive parents with junk traits
  • Re-rolling from the first generation
  • Ignoring species while chasing passives
  • Farming without a Cake surplus

Keeping four-passive parents with junk traits

They dilute the pool. A cleaner two-trait parent produces the target set faster.

Re-rolling from the first generation

Always breed forward from your best child; restarting throws away banked progress.

Ignoring species while chasing passives

Confirm the pair still produces the species you want in the calculator before committing.

Farming without a Cake surplus

Passive chains need dozens of eggs. Build the Cake base before the chain, not during it.
