 ===Inheriting abilities===
-From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 40% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring. Ditto cannot pass these abilities on through breeding. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have Inner Focus instead of the usual Hustle and would evolve into a Darmanitan with {{a|Zen Mode}}, instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}.
+From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 40% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[egg group]].  For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}).
+Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.
