Hi Serenia,
There are some exceptions to the breeding mechanics and these exceptions are:
- In VirtuAdopt, Pokémon under the Genderless/Male egg group will only breed with Ditto and vise-versa.
- Pokémon within the Unbreedable egg group cannot breed. Even with Ditto.
- Pokémon bred with Ditto will become THAT Pokémon, not Ditto.
- In VirtuAdopt, Ditto can only breed with Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Manaphy. Not with any other Pokémon.
- Ditto cannot breed with Ditto.
Look at Group 14, 15 and 16:
Group 14 - Genderless/Male (Ditto):
. This group cannot pair with any other Pokémon due to the absence of a female counterpart or being genderless.

That Guide is very outdated and not accurate to the current state of new Virtuadopt.

Currently, Ditto can be used to breed with anything that can breed with a female counterpart, as well as the Hitmon's. Ditto always has the worst breeding-chances, tho!

The last time I tried, Tauros (male only) didn't work, and neither did genderless pokemon. I personally feel like they should work because they seemed to work in old VA, and they should get the neutral breeding outcome as there's no other choice than Ditto, but at this point in time, they can't be bred.

Not that much outdated, only Group 16 where
- Ditto can breed with each female counterpart (I did not try)

Everything else in this guide should still be the same (like genderless and male pokemon can not breed).
Chould you please make a suggestion for genderless/male pokemon?
I mean we are living in 21st century it should be possible somehow, right? ;)

Ftr, in old VA it was not possible to breed male only or genderless species :3

For anyone looking to give support on male only breeding, there is already a suggestion thread here.

Why can't you breed ditto with pokemon with no gender?

That's the way it was setup originally in old VA a dozen or so years ago. VA 2.0 has used it as a base to improve it in its simplest form and then build-upon using more modern things. Breeding hasn't been available for that long so there's still many things to test and improve :3
