The mechanics of which Ability is acquired upon hatching a [[Pokémon Egg]] (in instances when a hatched Pokémon may have one of two Abilities) varies from game to game. In all games up to and including {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a Pokémon hatched from an Egg has a 50% chance of acquiring either Ability.

However, starting from {{game|Black and White|s}}, there is an 80% chance of the resulting offspring having the same "slotted" Ability as its mother and hence a 20% chance of the other Ability being passed down as long as the other parent is not {{p|Ditto}}. From {{game|X and Y|s}} onwards, if one pairent is Ditto, there is an 80% chance that the non-Ditto pairent's Ability will be passed on.
