Is a Pokemon's gender random in Pokemon breeding?

Question

I got traded a Litleo which is a female and I'm trying to breed a male one from it. Unfortunately I've hatched about 20 of them now and they're all female.
According to Serebii, the gender ratio for females is 3:1 but I still haven't gotten one.

Is it impossible to get a male Litleo off a female one or am I just unlucky?

Answer 1

You're just unlucky. Even if the parent is a female, it can still have male offspring, except for Pokémon such as Kangaskhan that can only be female.
Litleo has a 25% chance to be male and 75% chance to be female, so it is natural that you will hatch more females, just keep breeding and you will eventually get a male.

Phew, alright. I've actually filled up a whole box already trying to get this stupid Pokemon to have the correct gender but now that I know I have a chance I'll persevere.
Thanks, buddy.
