To ensure you have enough of your starter Pokemon, it is advisable to breed more before trading it. This can be achieved by having only a Ditto and your starter Pokemon in your party during a picnic.

Gradually, eggs will start showing up in the picnic basket next to the table. From there, all you need to do is add the egg to your group and wait for it to hatch.
