(I just tested it, and yes master/cherish will pass as a standard ball when 2 same species are bred. I used Beast and Master Ball Pikipeks and Beast and Standard were passed down.)

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are obtained in a standard red-and-white {{ball|Poké}}.


Starting in Generation VI, the Poké Ball of the female Pokémon (other than a {{ball|Master}} and {{ball|Cherish}}, which result in the default standard Poké Ball) 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. In Generation VII, if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]] are bred, the offspring will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball.


In Generation VI, 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 VII]], when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto, the Poké Ball of the male or genderless Pokémon (other than a {{ball|Master}} and {{ball|Cherish}}, which result in the default standard Poké Ball) will be passed down to its offspring.

In Generation VII, if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon_(species)|species]] are bred the offspring will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball. If either parent is in a {{ball|Master}} or {{ball|Cherish}} the offspring has a chance of inheriting a standard Poké Ball instead of the Master or Cherish Ball.
For the purposes of inheriting Poké Balls, parents in a {{ball|Master}} or {{ball|Cherish}} are always treated as being in a standard Poké Ball.
