Breeding - ability locked/unchanged

[Riesz]

Current:

Baby has higher chance of inheriting mother(or father if ditto is used) ability and small chance of another ability (if there is any)

 

Suggestion:

Make the ability same with the parent that decides species.

 

I'm aware there is ability pill and it won't hurt much if one is going to make 5x31 or 6x31 mons0

 

If we have this, it could have help

1) those who want to do budget mon (cuts costs if they used desired ability mon to start breeding)

 

2) potentially for HA mon in future (since I belive there won't be HA ability pill)

If a pokemon has two potential abilities, then there is an 80% chance that the mother's ability is passed to the offspring.

That's nice to learn. I stand corrected. :)

Thanks hannah, I actually forgot it's 70% or 80%

Way back in the day when they introduced the new breeding system, I argued in the “New breeding system. megathread discussion” that 80% ability pass down rate was dumb and that is should be 100%.

 

I still think it should be 100%.

 

Ability pills will still be relevant, imo.

 

 

Separate note, I had a lot of fun rereading that thread just now and seeing so many comments that aged like milk, and some that stood the test of time.
