is it possible to 'breed out' degeneration eventually?

because i got a pet in the pound with one degeneration star, and i was wondering if her descendants would eventually have no degeneration stars.

Yes, I bred my deviant roc who had 1 degen, and her child had none. So it is possible, hope this helped! :P

FAQ

A child gets a Degeneration grade when it is inbred. This means that its parents are relatives within 3 generations. This will result in getting negative genes which parents do not have and the increase of the genetic power of negative genes which they have already. Degeneration grade can't be removed from the pet which already has it but you can decrease or remove it for the future offsprings of this pet by choosing the second parent wisely.

Degeneration always increases or decreases by one grade (except the case of normal breeding and no Degeneration in parents). If the parents aren't close relatives, the Degeneration grade of their child will decrease by 1. If the parents are relatives within 3 generations, the Degeneration grade of their child will increase by 1, the base will be the highest Degeneration grade of the parents.

So pretty much: as long as you don't breed it with something it's related to, then the degeneration will lower till there is none left.
