Welp I’m dumb, thanks

[A bug with starter egg quest]

So I am in quite the predicament here, I have been trying to do the starter egg quest and recently I’ve been having troubles with breeding my cyndaquil. Whenever I try to breed it with my ditto it says they don’t like each other, which means they won’t breed. But another thing is that my cyndaquil is male, so there is no way for me to get a cyndaquil without a ditto. And from what I saw there is no other way to get ditto. I need this egg to complete the quest, can anyone help me?
