Key takeaways
  • Pool source
  • Slots
  • Random additions
  • Species independence

Pool source

Both parents' passives are merged into one candidate pool per egg.

Slots

A Pal holds up to four passives; extra rolls simply do not land.

Random additions

A child can gain a trait neither parent had, which is why culling matters more than adding.

Species independence

Passive inheritance is unaffected by the species route, so plan them separately.

Cost per attempt

One Cake per egg, plus incubation time — the reason chain order matters more than luck.
