Who does Ditto breed with when there's multiple Pokemon in the party?

Question

I haven't really touched the breeding in Scarlet and Violet, so I'm kinda clueless on how it works. For example, if I have a Skeledirge, Meowscarada, Quaquaval, and Ditto, would I get a mix of Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly eggs, just one egg (like just Quaxly), or do you not get eggs when there's more than 2 Pokemon in the party?

Answer 1

This was a very interesting test full of theories and burning theories.

Tested this with a Fletchinder, Tyranitar, and a Rufflet. Done in 3 batches with 3 different party orders, and after reviewing the results,I have determined that it will randomly choose a Pokemon for each egg. Over the course of the test I hatched 10 Rufflet, 9 Larvitar, and a single Fletchling despite moving the party around all over. I couldn't find any sustainable pattern between the batches and have determined it to be random with a solid hatred for Fletchling.

Hope this Helps.
