In | In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by breeding—an Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities. From [[Generation V]] onward, parents have a chance to pass down their Ability slot in certain circumstances. | ||
When breeding a female Pokémon with a male Pokémon, only the female Pokémon's Ability is relevant; when breeding a Pokémon with Ditto, only the non-Ditto Pokémon's Ability is relevant. If a parent's Ability is altered via [[Ability Patch]] or [[Ability Capsule]], the new Ability slot is taken into account for breeding. | When breeding a female Pokémon with a male Pokémon, only the female Pokémon's Ability is relevant; when breeding a Pokémon with Ditto, only the non-Ditto Pokémon's Ability is relevant.
