I'd like to know just how many people at that point in the game didn't question the random NPCs who'd walk behind the construction worker even though he's obviously keeping the player away from that area

i was shouting at the construction worker like ''YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR JOB''

yeah that makes sense that makes a lot of sense

If I have a male Pokemon with a Hidden Ability and then breed it with an entirely different Pokemon (same species) will that pokemon have a chance of having it's hidden ability?

(For example a Male Pidgeot with it's Hidden Ability, and a Female Staraptor with it's regular ability, if I breed them, will bred Starly have a chance of having it's own Hidden Ability?)

Yes, the parents can inherit hidden abilities onto their offspring

Really? (I just want to make sure you understand what I'm saying so I don't waste my time breeding just to find out it wasn't right.)

Ye- wait actually, I just realized it only works if the female parent has the Hidden Ability.

That's what I thought, I was fairly confident it wouldn't work I was aware a female or male can pass down abilities if it's with a Ditto or breeding the same Pokemon that has the ability.

It changed in gen 6, if you breed a male pokemon with its hidden ability with a ditto you can get the hidden ability.

That wasn't what I was asking. Since Gen 6 you could now have a Male with a Hidden Ability breed with the chance of it passing down. I was asking if I bred it with a Female of a different species (and therefore a different Hidden Ability entirely) could the offspring have the Female's Hidden Ability.

Better example:

Lets say I want a Greninja with Protean. I have a Poliwag that is Male with Swift Swim, it's Hidden Ability. I also have a Female Froakie with it's regular ability. If I bred the two, is there a chance I could get a Froakie with Protean rather than Torrent?

[Crazy Salt]

My bad, that would be a really nice breeding mechanic though.

[naturemon]

Would anyone happen to have a Storm Drain Lileep?

Edit: Nevermind, managed to snag one off the GTS.

So if chain breeding works the way I think it does could I in theory pass storm throw from throh to a pangoro to bidoof to clauncher to binacle?
the reason being a sniper pokemon with an always crit move like storm throw can pump out roughly 135 damage if my calculations are correct without the help of items
