This guide will tell you how to successfully breed all of your chocobos and eventually get a Gold Chocobo which can travel everywhere in the FFVII world. Here is a list of the different types of chocobo and their qualities

General information

Before you start breeding , you need the following things:

- Lots of money to get a Gold chocobo, about 300 000 gil
- About 4 stables at the Chocobo Farm
- You will also need lots of 5 000 gil greens from Chocobo Sage
- You will need breeding nuts, but DON’T buy them from C. Sage. More info later on.
- The last thing you need is some hi-level Chocobo Lure materia.

First thing’s first; to breed good chocobos, you need to get the parents on a high class. This can be achieved by either feeding them lots of the 5 000 gil greens to raise their speed, stamina and intellligence or by entering them in the chocobo races and winning a lot. When you first get a chocobo, it will be on Class C. They then go to B , then A and then S which is the final class. Now, onto the breeding…

Yellow Chocobos

Yellow chocobos are the standard chocobos which you get in the grass on the world map, but to get the right ones for breeding to make a Green chocobo, you need a male and a female. The best males are the ones near Gold Saucer. Equip the Chocobo Lure and then you will enter a battle with some monsters and a chocobo. To stop the chocobo from running away, you have to feed it some greens to keep it occupied, simply win the battle and the chocobo will be yours. Then, when you want to get off, get off it and select ’send to stable’. That chocobo will now be at the stable ready to breed. Now, you need a female chocobo, which are in the chocobo grass near Mideel. Just repeat the battle procedure. Once you have two chocobos, save your game.

Blue and Green Chocobos

To breed them , go back to the Chocobo Stables and talk to Choco Billy, first, make sure that the chocobos are in the stables, not the paddock and then tell Choco Billy you want to breed them. You will have to walk up to the stable with the chocobos you want to breed. NOTE: IF ONE OF THE CHOCOBOS HAS A DROOPED HEAD, RELEASE IT AND CATCH ANOTHER ONE. You will then need to breed them with a certain nut. The best one is a Carob Nut. You get these by winning a battle or stealing it from one of the big red dragons on the islands just south of the Northern Continent. Then select OK and they will breed. However, you have to be patient because they don’t always produce what you think they might. You need them to produce one Green one and one Blue one OF THE OPPOSITE SEX, you might have to try about 3 or 4 times.

Black Chocobos

To get a black chocobo, you have to breed a Green Chocobo with a Blue chocobo of the opposite sex both of which need to be on A or S class. Use a Carob Nut.

Gold Chocobos

To get a Gold Chocobo, you need to breed a Black Chocobo with a dashing yellow, both of whom need to be on S class. You can use a Carob Nut, but a Zeio Nut works best (you steal these from the goblins on some of the small islands on the world map). Once you have a Gold Chocobo, you can get Knights of the Round, the most powerful summon.
