CaptainGame Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 So I'm breeding the Pancham I got in a trade to try and get one with better stats, but I'm noticing that its hidden ability - Scrappy - isn't being passed down at all. Is this a bug? If it isn't, is there a way around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a bug? If it isn't, is there a way around it? Abilities are passed by holding an everstone. Otherwise it's just random. I think it's that way in cannon as well, though I don't know how it handles hidden ones. Edited July 30, 2017 by seki108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGame Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Ah... in the base game, I read that there's an 80% chance of the mother passing her ability... Is that changed here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that changed here? I didn't get the edit done in time. I think it works about the same, though it might have a higher chance of randomizing the abilities here (possibly because of RPG maker). All abilities have an equal chance of showing up in the wild or in events, but I don't know if it fully applies to breeding percents outside of everstone. I personally have noticed it's higher than 50%, but I can't say for certain that it's 80% unaided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I never payed absolute attention to that detail, though it certainly seemed to. I haven't bred in months, so I guess I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGame Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Bulbapedia says that a female Pokemon with a hidden ability has a 60% chance to pass it on without help from an item in Gen V and an 80% chance in Gen VI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGame Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 ...And yup, there's a Pancham with Scrappy hatching now. I guess I just had a run of weird luck that it didn't happen sooner, never mind me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
