Question for Pokemon Heart Gold

Is it possible to get a female starter pokemon without AR?
If you can breed cyndaquil (the fire type starter) with something to get an egg with cyndaquil in it please post it because I am trying to defeat the gym leader in Goldenrod city but all my pokemon are male so it is almost impossible.

Yes, you can, but it's extremely rare. There's only about a 25% chance of getting a female starter. I finally got one, unexpectedly but so. The rarest female starter in Soul Silver - Heart Gold is rather Totodile or Cyndaquil. Chikorita is your best shot. It doesn't really matter in the long run.. Just fire Miltank down with taunt.

Female Ratio for Starters is only about 1/8 or 12.5%. This is the same for eevee (and its evolutions)

Never do Chicorita, its a blob of useless, its weak to almost every gym leader

it is but it is easier to get a female starter by starting the game off as a female trainer

Guest said: 1st Feb 2015 | REPORT
Gender might count , my first pear game I got female piplup and on my first heartgold I got female cyndaquil as a female character on both.
Guest answered:

yes you can

Guest answered:

The starters gender is unrelated to your trainers sex. Females are simply rare, I'm amusing to make it more difficult to breed early game. I started a game as a female trainer and took approximately 30 attempts (save/load) to get a female starter. Just save in front of the machine and reload until you get your gender of choice.

Guest answered:

I have 2 female Cyndaquils- I got them both by breeding, so I guess breeding is the easiest way!

Guest answered:

Use a ditto

What your doing with the breeding for a female cyndaquil is not a very good idea. Since their is only a 12.7 % chance of getting a female cyndaquil. What you actually have to do is start the whole game over. I did this for soulsilver just for fun and was shocked when I picked lyra and when I chose totodile, it was a female one. But, when I did another new game, it was a male one. So it's really just based on luck. Im not sure how many times you'll have to start the game in order to get a female starter because it will vary greatly but good luck.

Guest answered:

Oh, yes! It's not as rare as you think. I just reset twice and I normally get it.
To get a shiny, though, I wouldn't do that, because... I feel it's wrong. It would lessen the chance excitement, y'know? Nothing special about shinies but their colour, and with male female it's just a different symbol :/

Guest answered:

That,s strange when I first played heartgold when I picked totodile first try I got a girl

Guest answered:

I actually managed to get a female cyntaquill as a starter it is possible just very small chance.
