    Some sort of Egg 'RNG' Abuse (Read the first post!)

    I believe so, yes. In fact I suspect using a HA mother is the best way to check anything about which ability is inherited. But I can't confirm that at present.

    Yo need to use a HA parent if you want to check whether a HA will be inherited. Similarly, using HA parents to lock in the spread and switching out for parents who don't possess a HA won't let you pas a hidden ability to the offspring out of nowhere.

    Shininess is fixed.

    As expected. There are two inheritances at play here - one for monogender offspring and one for bigender. Using test parents of the same category is the best way to scout which IVs are inherited by the offspring.

    When you say "repeated the same process" you didn't reject the first egg again, did you? Or after resetting did you swap out the parents, generate the first egg and accept that?

    From Arc Tech's post quoted in the opening post of this thread: Use international parents as scouts so you can see when the offspring is shiny, otherwise you might miss cases where the offspring is shiny only when using the Masuda method. Then swap out the parents for other international...

    Simple Questions/Requests - Mark 31 (Minor Pokemon Trades, Item Requests etc GO HERE)

    Do you have a Skiddo/Gogoat with their HA? (Grass Pelt) I could send you a male Espurr or Bunnelby if that suits you? Let me know whether any particular IVs are more important than others and whether the HA would be important or not.

    Check this post. For a given seed, the gender of your offspring Kabuto will remain fixed even if you soft-reset and claim the egg again. And yeah, 7:1 ratios suck. Keep powering through!

    I might be missing something here, but surely Speed is the wildcard for the Kangaskhan spread, with the Sp.A. being inherited from the father? Do you have the stats of the parents & child that you used when scouting the inheritance spread? On gender ratios, it was mentioned earlier in this...

    SpaceFlare: Random stat is locked in when the inheritance is set. Both which stat it is and the value it takes.

    hellisforyou: Even using a Destiny Knot you can only pass down five IVs. Based on what you've said it looks like your inheritance is F/M/M/M/x/M where x is the sixth and random stat. thefilght: As long as you haven't saved before you realise the combination was wrong, you should be able to...

    Pretty much. You'd need to use an IV calculator to compare the IVs of the Ditto and the offspring. I've always found Metalkid's one fairly handy. edit: Thinking about it, once you know the IVs of the Ditto, you could plug them into the stat calculator on Metalkid's site and find out what the...

    Advantage of using the Battle Institute: You don't need to have scouting parents with IVs of 31s and 0s. Seeing the lvl 50 stats means you can work out which parent has passed down which IV from those stats (so long as they don't overlap). Calculating IVs may express the same numbers in a...

    Use the Battle Institute on the North Boulevard of Lumiose. They set pokemon's levels to 50 during the duration of the five battles. As long as the IVs of your test parents aren't too close to each other that's more than enough information to effectively use an IV calculator. You're not forced...
