Original Post:
I'll occasionally update this post with some relevant and shorthand information but please refer to the post below for a more thorough explanation of the general process.
Racing names can be used over and over
-
In order to increase your Pedigree level, you must have your chocobo mate with a chocobo of the same pedigree or higher. High pedigree coverings cost more MGP and are most likely best avoided at the early stages.
-
When purchasing one-time covering permission slips from GS, you will not be able to preview the stats of your chocobo's would-be counterpart. You can only observe them after your purchase. Examples can be found below but negative and positive outcomes are both possible.
In light of this, do not retire your chocobo before purchasing a covering permission slip that you are satisfied with.
-
When you appear for the adoption of your fledgling six or more hours following handing your retired chocobo over, you will be offered premature results from Bentbranch. These are not the true results, though the final stats will be determined by either the male or female side for each stat displayed on this slip. For instance, if on the slip it shows four stars for the male side and two for female for the acceleration stat, then you could potentially get either four stars or two in your final result.
Alternatively, if you do not like your results. You can purchase another covering slip and reattempt the breeding. Keep in mind, however, that this will involve another stat gamble first at Gold Saucer and then again with the results, in addition to the 6+ hour waiting period.

Can anyone please explain to me what I need to know here? Some guide on reddit wasn't exactly explained very clearly and possibly only confused me even more than I ought to be.
All I got was that...
Then there's a lot of stuff about G-9 or whatever.
Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do? I started over on my main after first racing on my hyur for some time but now she has almost reached rank 40 so I am expected to retire her soon.
Also, what happens with the names? I don't have the heart to actually imagine that I am retiring any chocobo so I'd like to keep a consistent name throughout... should I rename them right before retiring or will it even matter?

Quote:The stats which your fledgling chocobo inherit will be from it's grandparents(i.e the parents on the chocobo you just bred).
It's possible that your fledgling chocobo will turn out worse than it's parents.
The only stats taken into account are base stats, so any feed enhancements will have zero impact on the fledgling and are therefore only there to help you succeed until you retire the affected chocobo.
