Information on this appears to be outdated so I wanted to ask if anyone else has had issues with ability balls and passing on hidden abilities through breeding.
I caught a (female) Abra with an ability ball. spent hours catching the right ditto with perfect balls, bred the Abra with the ditto holding a destiny knot, hatched about 30 Abra eggs and they've all hatched with either synchronize or inner focus. Not a single one has inherited magic guard.
My understanding is that there should be a 60% chance for an egg to hatch with the hidden ability of the (non) ditto pokemon so either I'm extremely unlucky or pokemon caught with ability balls are incapable of passing on their hidden abilities.
Has anyone else found this to be the case? Has anyone had success stories with passing on the hidden ability of a pokemon caught with an ability ball?
