Crazy Salt:
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.
Cargøn:
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
