Passing down an ability in Pokémon Black 2
When I breed a female Gible (with sand veil as its ability) and a male Druddigon (with rough skin as its ability) will I be able to get a Gible with its hidden ability rough skin
Best Answer
According to this article about breeding, the male's ability cannot be passed down by breeding. If the male could pass down abilities, it could lead to a monstrosity of different pokémon with unknown abilities.
The article also says that there is a 50/50 chance to get either ability if the pokémon has two possible abilities. If the female has a rare ability from Pokémon Dream World, there is an 80% chance the ability will be passed down.

Quite simply, no. It's all about the female. Only when the female has its hidden ability is there a chance (not a guarantee) to pass it down. The only exception is when breeding with a ditto.Bestest Breeding Guide Pokemon Sword \u0026 Shield; IVs, egg moves, pokeballs, abilities and items
