Breeding/Environment

Mechanics

In order for Pokémon to be able to breed, the environment around the ranch block they are inside has to be satisfactory for them. This is determined by the presence, quality, and quantity of certain blocks that are appropriate for the breeding Pokémon's type(s).

Each kind of block that is considered satisfactory for a type has a certain value from 1 to 4, while unsuitable blocks do not contribute to satisfaction and have values of 0. For a Pokémon with only one type, its satisfaction is the sum of the values all of the blocks within the ranch block's range. A dual-type Pokémon's satisfaction is the average of each of their types' satisfactions with the environment, meaning that all blocks have their values halved before calculating the sum except for blocks that are favored by both of the Pokémon's types, whose values remain unchanged.

This value is then translated into how fast the Pokémon will breed (or if it will breed at all) with the following table.

Satisfaction	Text	Duration of breeding process	Duration per breeding stage
<40	"Pokémon 1 has a crush on Pokémon 2, but doesn't feel comfortable in this environment!"	N/A	N/A
40-79	"Pokemon 1 likes Pokémon 2 a tiny bit more every day!"	3 hours, 20 minutes	40 minutes
80-119	"Pokémon 1 is more attracted to Pokémon 2 every day!"	1 hour, 40 minutes	20 minutes
120-159	"Pokémon 1's love for Pokémon 2 grows rapidly every day!"	1 hour, 6⅔ minutes	13⅓ minutes
>159	"Pokémon 1 falls madly in love with Pokémon 2 every single day!"	50 minutes	10 minutes

If an environment is modified during the breeding process and the satisfaction value rises above or drops below one of the thresholds listed above, the breeding speed will change accordingly. If the environment becomes unsuitable because of this, the Pokémon will start losing attraction at a rate of one stage every 40 minutes.

A ranch block has a 9×9 area around it by default and has a maximum range (with several ranch upgrades) of 15×15, meaning that a ranch block will take into account between 81 and 225 blocks when determining satisfactions. The topmost block on each coordinate is used to calculate satisfaction, which is important to consider when placing ranch blocks in enclosed locations such as roofed buildings and caves.
