Chocobo Breeding
To start off it would be a good idea to get as much information about breeding chocobos as possible, so is a good idea to visit Chocobo Billy at the farm and the Chocobo Sage, who can be located behind some mountains around the Icicle Inn area using the Highwind.
To begin your breeding program, rent six stalls on Bill’s ranch. You catch chocobos by equipping chocobo lure Materia, which can be purchased at Billy’s ranch then moving around the chocobo tracks on the world map. Now you can begin. Go to the area around the Gold Saucer and capture a Good chocobo. Once a chocobo has been captured to send it back to the stable press ‘X’ to get off the chocobo, then select ‘send back to stable’ option. Now proceed to Rocket Town or Mideel and capture a Great chocobo. Feed them with greens until their stats are at maximum, the best greens are Sylkis and Regan though they come at an expensive price. Then take them to the Gold Saucer and race them to at least B class or higher if possible. Return to the ranch and breed these two together using a Carob Nut. Make sure one is male and the other female before you train them. You should get a Blue or Green chocobo, breed one of each, then feed them so their stats are at maximum, then take them to the Gold Saucer and race them to B class class or higher. You might find that when you come to breed these two, you are told they are to young, to get them old enough you must fight ten random battles, then they will be able to breed. Breed them together with a Carob Nut. If you are successful you will get a Black chocobo. Now head for the north pole, and explore the footprints around the Icicle Inn , to try and capture a Wonderful chocobo. Once you have one, go back to the ranch and feed both the Black and Wonderful chocobo until their stats are at maximum, then head to the Gold Saucer and race them to Bclass or Higher. When they ready breed them together using a Zeio Nut. If you are lucky you will receive the Gold chocobo.
With certain chocobos you can reach remote areas of the map. There are four areas which contain special Materia.
Knights Cave
In the Northeast corner of the map is an island that can only accessed by using the Gold chocobo.
The island itself does not appear on the map. Enter the cave on the island to find the legendary Knights of the Round Materia.
Wutai Cave
If you have a Green chocobo you can cross over mountains. Head east of Wutai village and wander around the mountains until you find the cave. Inside is the Mime Materia.
Mideel Cave
With a Blue chocob you can cross shallow water. East of Billy’s ranch is a small stoney island. Use you Blue chocobo to reach the island situated there. It contains the Quadra Magic Materia.
Mount Coral Cave
North of the Mount Coral entrance is a cave surrounded by sand dunes. Use a Black chocobo to enter the cave to get HP to MP Materia.
