All you need to do is to follow the magic equation above. But before you do that, make sure you read the following content! ### Breeding Availability The first step is check on the breeding quota of your Gen 1 or 2. {% hint style="info" %} This step is especially important for those who are keen on buying our Genesis Collection for breeding! {% endhint %} To check your **Gen 1** breeding quota, click [here](https://monkeykingdom.io/wukong). To check your **Gen 2** breeding quota, click [here](https://monkeykingdom.io/baepe). After arriving at the website, simply search for your NFT by its ID#. Specifically, you are looking for both Gen 1 and Gen 2s with *at least one* **available** breeding slot.

### Rarity Breeding The second step is to understand how the rarity (skin) of your Gen 1 & 2s can affect your Gen 3s during the breeding process. ![Gen 1 and 2 Skin Rarity](/files/KG9Wm1TR4lKoldB9WJ0U) A rare skin Gen 1 is defined as having a Zombie, Gold, or an Alien skin; Gen 2 as having a Pink, Gold, or White skin. When you combine a rare skin Gen 1 or 2 with another Gen 1 or 2, you can directly affect the outcome of their offspring! {% hint style="info" %} Let's use some examples to illustrate: \[Breeding Formula] Gen 1 + Gen 2 + Magic Peach = Gen 3 \[Result 1] **Alien** Gen 1 + **Gold** Gen 2 + Magic Peach = **Alien White** Gen 3 \[Result 2] **Zombie** Gen 1 + **Pink** Gen 2 + Magic Peach = **Zombie Pink** Gen 3 {% endhint %}

How are all these combinations determined? Simply by following the [breeding table](#undefined) below. #### Breeding Table ![Breeding table (Probabilities using normal Magic Peaches)](/files/JsOOGL7Q8SGxwhBs1ZnX) This breeding table illustrates the probabilities of your Gen 3's skin when using normal (pink) Magic Peaches to breed. ### Magic Peach The final part of the breeding equation requires you to have a [Magic Peach NFT](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/magic_peaches_by_monkey_kingdom). This part of the equation affects the gender as well as the rarity of your Gen 3 so read carefully! {% hint style="info" %} The Magic Peach is a NFT that exists on Solana and should **not** be confused with [$PEACH](/wiki/introduction/peach.md) our native ecosystem token! {% endhint %} ![normal Magic Peach](/files/hD0qiBhm1z3I99SZ4fbf) ![Golden Peach](/files/trU0Aig7zMTZoCla8ecg) ![Legendary Peach](/files/Tdh013U1vfbTr1ADMfSl)

	Magic Peach	Golden Peach	Legendary Peach
Quantity	4190	441	21
Rarity	90%	9.5%	0.5%

#### Gender Each Magic Peach NFT has a trait of either '**Unity'** or '**Faith'**. If you use a peach with the trait '**Unity**' during breeding, you will breed a **male** Gen 3. Conversely if you use a peach with the trait '**Faith**', you will breed a **female** Gen 3. #### Golden Peach Mechanic 1 When a **rare** skin parent breeds with a **normal** skin parent, a Golden Peach will improve the chances of breeding a rare skin Gen 3 by **20%**. {% hint style="info" %} Let's use an example to illustrate: According to the [breeding table](#breeding-table), when a **Zombie** skin Gen 1 breeds with a **Normal** skin Gen 2, the probability of having a Zombie skin Gen 3 using a normal Magic Peach is **50%**. A Golden Peach will increase this chance to **70%**. {% endhint %} #### Golden Peach Mechanic 2 When a Golden Peach is used when two **normal** skin parents breed OR when a **rare** skin parent breeds with a **normal** skin parent but fails to produce a rare skin offspring, the resultant Gen 3 will inherit a 'Glow' skin.

**Legendary Peach Mechanic** A Legendary Peach will guarantee a 1/1 Legendary Gen 3, regardless of the parents' skin.

{% hint style="info" %} If you are in possession of an ultra-rare Legendary Peach, you should simply use your normal skin monkeys to breed. {% endhint %} #### Bye Bye Peach Finally, when a Magic Peach NFT is used for breeding, it is burnt. #### Bringing It All Together Now that you have understood all the mechanics behind breeding, it is time to see how the magic actually happens.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/holders-utilities-and-benefits/breeding/breeding-mechanics.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
