Thanks for the info.

the percentages posted above are correct, but they are per egg. so in turn each egg has a 25% chance at being a super and a 50% chance of being pastel. so you could get all supers or all normals.
just thought i would clarify for you

By technicality they are het for Super pastel...
but we won't get into that.

You have a 25% chance of normals, 50% chance of pastel, and 25% chance of super pastel PER EGG.

Good luck!
