In Generation VI, this was extended so that male and genderless Pokémon with a Hidden Ability can also pass it down if they are bred with Ditto. The chance of the offspring having either non-Hidden Ability is 20% each. Kakuna doesn't have a hidden ability, so the chance is 0. source answered Nov 29, 2016 by sumwun The chance isn't zero as the ability slot concept applies here; if a Pokemon is spawned to always retain the ability in its species' Hidden Ability slot, it will always keep it. So basically, if a Weedle has its Hidden Ability, it will evolve into a Kakuna with its Hidden Ability (which of course doesn't exist). Therefore, when it evolves into a Beedrill, it will retain its Hidden Ability slot. If that made no sense: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/68206451 The probabilities are correct though. The slot concepts only apply with the two regular abilities, not the hidden one. http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/176907/why-does-my-dustox-lose-its-hidden-ability-upon-evolution Woah I just contradicted my own answer. That's really dumb, Pokemon should be able to keep their Hidden Abilities through evolution. :/ That's really dumb, Diglett shouldn't be able to learn aerial ace. :/ Please log in or register to add a comment.
