No the Charizard was missing plenty of Hurricane and Focus Blasts against me.

SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
The gen 8 starters were all in the game from launch.
We did know about Cinderace
Gen 8 starters and legendaries were all in, plus a few legends from other gens, and Carbink for some reason I assume has to do with Diancie.
Anyway, bit of a question regarding regional breeding: Both nature and non-native regionality were passed down by holding an everstone, while balls were passed by the parent that passed the species, with the ball being 50/50 if both parents were the same species, AND hidden abilities were passed down by the parent that passed the species.
So, basically, if I breed a male Issuian Arcanine holding an Everstone, with a female Jolly HA Kantonian Arcanine, caught in a Repeat Ball and holding an Everstone as well, would I be able to get a Jolly Issuian Growlithe with Rock Head and in a Repeat Ball?
I will try to test it with Meowths this weekend (as Meowth is the only species around to have a non-Paldean, non-vanilla regional variant in the game at the moment), but, making sure that it isn't for naught from the get-go...

The female would have to be Hisuian.
It's considered a regional form.
Thank you! So the game considers it moreso as Basculin-Hisui, makes sense considering it has a new evo! As such, an Everstone could be used to crossbreed it, right?
EDIT: Another question. If Basculin White is considered a regional form, what color of Basculin will it breed without an Everstone?

White, unless a Pokemon has a regional form for the region its in the regular and regional forms will always breed true. The only Pokemon that need an Everstone to pass their form in SV are regular Wooper/Quagsire and regular Tauros.
So Hisuian forms will not work like other regional forms? Like won't Female HA Growlithe + Male Growlithe Hisui with an Everstone be able to breed an HA Growlithe Hisui? Or will this only be a Basculin thing? I am really into breeding rare balls so I want to prepare for when these come.
You said without Everstone in the post I replied to.
Regional forms always breed based on what's naturally available in the region. Galarian Meowth breeds to Kanto Meowth without an Everstone.
My question could be worded as such: does Basculin White behave like a regional form or like a Basculin color? I am pretty confused since I am getting conflicting reports. And now I am understanding that maybe Hisuian forms as a whole work differently, which adds to my confusion. I am very sorry about that.
I already mentioned above what you would need to do for H-Growlithe specifically and it should work the same for Basculin. Basically with a Ditto you would need the everstone on a male or female regional form or if you're not using a Ditto you need the female to be the regional form with a everstone.
The White-Striped Form does not have the everstone form flag set like the Hisuian Form species do, so it's probably handled the same as the Red-Striped Form and Blue-Striped Form.
But regional forms can be passed by males holding everstones as well!
I see, so it acts moreso like a Basculin form. I'll prepare an ability patch and breed males of my Basculin - thank you!
What? That's not how that worked in gen 8.
They were talking about Paldea I presume. In gen 8, all Meowth also breed what is naturally available in the region, but this time it is Galarian Meowth.
With the same species bred together? I always had to use the female with the everstone in gen 8 or either gender with a Ditto.
Well I haven't. For instance, crossbreeding a Female Darumaka-Galar with HA into the Ball of a Male Darumaka-Unova with an Everstone worked wonders and indeed produced a Darumaka-Unova with HA in the ball last gen.
Did something similar with a Female HA Wooper-Paldean and the Male Wooper-Johto that an NPC trades to you.
