Below I have listed the types of Chocobos you can find, along with where to find them, as well as the different Chocobo mutations and how to breed them. There is also a table of the different greens and and how they affect a Chocobo's stats.  By the way, I reccommend that you buy as many Chocobo stables as you can. You're going to need them.

Chocobo Types

There are three main types of Chocobos in Final Fantasy VII. They can be located at different Chocobo "spots." Below are listed the main types, where to find them, and what enemies must accompany them. Since I don't have pictures of the enemies here, you'll have to use Select to see if they are the correct ones. Keep in mind that if the Chocobos are with the wrong enemies, it will be a dud.

Good Chocobos

These are found on the Chocobo tracks in the Gold Saucer area.

Enemy combinations- (Chocobo in FRONT of two Flap Beats) and (Chocobo with two Spencers).

Very Good Chocobos

These are found on the Chocobo tracks near Mideel.

Enemy combinations- (Chocobo with one Spiral) and (Chocobo with two Spirals).

The Best Chocobos

These are found on the Chocobo tracks in the Icicle area.

Enemy combinations- (Chocobo with one Jumping) and (Chocobo with two Jumpings)

Note: Jumpings are the rabbits.

Chocobo Mutations

There are four different Chocobo mutations, each of which is used to reach a different Materia Cave. You have a better chance of getting the type of Chocobo desired if it's parents are at least Class A. If you don't get the type and gender you want you can always hit Reset and try again.

River (Blue) or Mountain (Green) Chocobo

Breed two Good or Very Good Chocobos together with a Carob Nut, which can be won or stolen from Brachioladus enemies in the Icicle Area. Whether you get a River or a Mountain Chocobo is completely random, so keep resetting until you get the type and gender you want. The River Chocobo is needed to reach the Mideel Area Materia Cave, which contains the Quadra Magic Materia. The Mountain Chocobo is needed to reach the Wutai Area Materia Cave containing the Mime Materia. These are both very valuable Materias to have.

River/Mountain Chocobo (Black)

Breed a Mountain Chocobo with a River Chocobo with a Carob Nut. There is a high chance that you will get this Chocobo even if it has weak parents. This Chocobo is used to get the worthless MP/HP switch Materia in the North Corel Area Materia cave.

Sea Chocobo (Gold)

Breed a River/Mountain Chocobo with the Best Chocobos, found (rarely) in Icicle Area. Breed them with a Zeio nut, which can be won or stolen from the Goblins on Goblin Island. Both of it's parents should be at least Class A, or preferably S, for there to be much of a chance of getting this Chocobo. These Chocobos can go anywhere on the map. They are needed to get the Knights of the Round Materia, the best Summon Materia in the game, from Round Island.

Vegetable Greens

To improve the status of a Chocobo, you will need to feed it Greens. Note that a Chocobo cannot exceed it's limits, so if it says that there is no improvement it means that the Chocobo has maxed out, and to not bother feeding it any more greens. You can always get a new Chocobo and try with it. The Sea Chocobos are generally the best ones, so keep that in mind. If you need some quick cash to fund yourself for this, try selling a master-level All Materia for $1,400,000 gil!

Intelligence measures how well the Chocobo can hold a straight-line when it's running.

Tameness alters how quickly the Chocobo responds to Cloud's orders.

*Reagan and Sylkis greens are available from the Chocobo Sage; all others can be bought at the Chocobo Farm
