In [[Generation V]] and prior, all hatched Pokémon are obtained a standard red-and-white {{i|Poké Ball}}s. | |||
Starting in Generation VI, the [[Poké Ball]] of the female Pokémon will be passed down to its offspring. | Starting in [[Generation VI]], the [[Poké Ball]] of the female Pokémon will be passed down to its offspring. Male and genderless Pokémon (including {{p|Ditto}}) have no impact on the type of Poké Ball inherited; as such, when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto (which is the only way to breed certain species), the offspring is always obtained in a standard Poké Ball. | ||
In Generation | In [[Generation VII]], if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]] are bred (regardless of form), the offspring will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball. Additionally, a male and genderless Pokémon is guaranteed to pass down its Poké Ball if bred with a Ditto. However, despite being able to produce offspring of either species when bred together, {{p|Nidoran♀}}/{{p|Nidoran♂}} and {{p|Volbeat}}/{{p|Illumise}} are still considered different species, and the male's Poké Ball will not be inherited when breeding with its female counterpart. | ||
The [[Master Ball]] and [[Cherish Ball]] cannot be passed down by breeding, and instead, the inheriting offspring will hatch into a standard Poké Ball. | |||
