Chocobo Breeding

You can only start breeding chocobos after you have aquired the Highwind. To get started, go to the Chocobo Ranch and to purchase all 6 stalls from Choco Bill at 10000 gil apiece (60000 gil total). Purchase some of the cheaper greens, then equip the Chocobo Lure and go out to catch some chocobos at the various chocobo tracks on the world map.

The type of chocobos you'll find depends on where you're looking:

WonderfulNear Icicle Inn (must be with 1 or 2 Jumpings only)

To breed a Green or Blue chocobo catch a Good and a Great chocobo and make sure they are of opposite sex. Feed them 10 Sylkis Greens apiece and then race them until you get them to the highest class they can get to. Mate them together using a Carob Nut. You may need to try several combinations of Good/Great Male/Female to obtain a Green and a Blue chocobo of opposite sex. A Green chocobo allows you to cross mountains, a Blue chocobo allows you to cross rivers.

Feed the Green and Blue 10 Sylkis Greens apiece and race them to the highest class they can get to. Mate them together using a Carob Nut to get a Black chocobo. A Black chocobo allows you to cross mountains and rivers.

Catch a Wonderful chocobo of the opposite sex as your Black chocobo and feed them both 10 Sylkis Greens. Race them both to S class and then breed them together with a Zeio Nut to get a Gold chocobo. A Gold chocobo allows you to cross any terrain including oceans. Feed your Gold chocobo 25 Sylkis Greens to get an unbeatable racing chocobo.

Racing your chocobos to a higher class increases the chances of getting a special chocobo. If you don't get the chocobo you want when you breed, you can either reset the game or go do other things then come back and try again after the chocobos have had a chance to recouperate.
