    Breeding King of the Waves onto a Pal

    If one parent carries King of the Waves, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:

    • Only King of the Waves100%
    • 2 passives in all80%
    • 3 passives in all63%
    • 4 passives in all50%

    From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.
