===Inheriting forms===
In most cases, if a hatched species has [[List of Pokémon with form differences|multiple forms]] (not dependent on in-battle conditions), it will inherit the form of the mother or non-{{p|Ditto}} parent. {{p|Burmy}} will always hatch with the same cloak as its mother, and if bred between {{p|Mothim}} and Ditto, it will always hatch with a Plant Cloak. {{p|Rockruff}} with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}}, which evolves into {{p|Lycanroc}}'s Dusk Form, is treated as a separate form that is inherited by its offspring. {{p|Oricorio}}, which changes its form using [[nectar]], can also pass down its form by breeding.
