Child-scoped override labeling in this dataset
The PalCalc v27 snapshot includes parent pairs that standard Breeding Power averaging alone cannot explain for certain children.
In this project, override classification is applied per child species. When a child has at least one pair the standard rule cannot produce, every combination that yields that child is labeled override-sourced in the snapshot (shown as “Unique combination” on UI badges).
Why formula-aligned rows can still show override labels
Because labeling is child-scoped, a pair whose arithmetic matches the standard rule can still display an override-sourced badge when the resulting child is override-classified across the graph.
Path Finder and Parent Finder treat that child consistently under the override label for all producing pairs.
Canonical override example
Breeding Relaxaurus (Lazy Dragon) with Sparkit (Elec Cat) produces Relaxaurus Lux (Lazy Dragon Electric) in this snapshot. Standard averaging for that pair would select a different species, so the row is override-sourced.
Same-species pairs that produce an override-classified child also carry the override label for that child in the snapshot.

- Definition
- Override-sourced rows are a project-derived classification: if a child species has any pair standard power averaging cannot explain, all rows producing that child are labeled override-sourced.
- Example
- Relaxaurus + Sparkit → Relaxaurus Lux is labeled override-sourced because the standard rule would not select Relaxaurus Lux for that pair in this snapshot.
- Exceptions
- Pairs that standard arithmetic would also match still carry the override-sourced label when the child is classified that way in the graph.
- Limitations
- Labels reflect the pinned PalCalc conversion, not unaudited in-game mechanics beyond the dataset.
- Source/version
- PalCalc v27, upstream commit f6cc27362b090dd33c3c3ee612075b9b514ace4d.
