If it doesn't smell much, it will have basic genes. Meanwhile, the smell of a Monstie's egg determines what genes the Monstie will get when it hatches. The number of locked gene slots is determined by how heavy an egg is - meaning if it's really heavy, it will have fewer gene slots to unlock.
Remember when I said to take note of Navirou's comments on an egg's smell and weight? This is where that information comes into play.
You will need to level up the Monstie or use Stimulant items to unlock these slots. A Monstie has nine slots to insert genes in, but some gene slots are locked. These genes grant passive abilities that boost its stats or bestow new attacks it can use in hunts. The Rite of Channeling takes the genes of a Monstie and transfers them into another Monstie. Now, it's time to hatch it at the stables and begin the Rite of Channeling. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
