Is it possible to get HA Totodile from Island Scan? I want to

>>30333181

No, but once Pokemon Bank is released it'll be possible due to the new breeding mechanics.

Nope.

BUT you can use your Lure Ball on Scan Totodile, wait for Bank, then breed it with a Female Sheer Force Totodile until you get a Sheer Force Lure Ball one.

>New breeding mechanics
Such as?

>>30333181
can males pass down balls now?
i caught the island scan ones as females in beast balls, do i need males?

>>30333220
Where can I read more about these mechanic changes?

>>30333257
I asked this the other day and apparently males only pass down their ball when bred with the same species

>>30333264
>>30333253
>>30333257

See>>30333238, males have a chance of passing down their ball if same-species breeding pair.

>>30333298
Also Ditto

>>30333298
Man, the number of combos that get opened up because of this are pretty crazy. I think there's only 15 Pokemon total that can't be in anything but a standard pokeball once Bank updates to Gen 7

>>30334229
wait, im breeding for a shiny rowlet at the moment.
are you telling me that i can get a ditto in a beast ball and have beast ball rowlets?

>>30334333
which are?
So I can catch ahead of time

>>30334672
Unfortunately no, Ditto will not pass on its ball. Male pokemon that breed with Ditto will.
>>30334691
Every starter can now be obtained with their normal and HA in any non-apricorn ball except for the Gen 7 starters. There's a few more I'm probably overlooking.

>>30334691
I don't know what they are, but it'd be anything that you have never been able to catch in the wild.
So I'm assuming the non-johto, non-unova starters?

>>30334736
i like this change

>>30334691
Now that I reread it are you asking about the 15 I mentioned? Those are Archen/Archeops, Type:Null and Silvally, Cosmog/Cosmoem and the gen 7 starters.

>>30334672
no, ditto doesn't pass down balls

if you breed a male with a ditto, the male passes down the ball always

if you breed a male with a female of the same species, it's 50/50 which ball is passed down

if you breed a male and female of different species, you get the female pokemon in the female's ball always

>>30334672
only if when breeding the same species

>>30334796
so to get hidden ability lure ball totodile

>catch a totodile in lure ball
>get a male one
>find a female HA totodile from past gens
>they will be everywhere come january when bank gets updated
>breed the lure ball male with the HA female
>you will eventually get lucky with a HA totodile in a lure ball

>>30334919
Breed with a ditto and make sure the other parent is in the right ball, you will get the right ball 100% of the time.

>>30334893
Unless Game Freak decides to fuck with us and make starters an exception to that rule, that should be how it goes

>>30333238
>>30333322
This is wrong. Males only pass down the ball if they are bred with ditto.

>starters still don't have special starter balls

>>30335102
Males have a chance to pass down their ball if they're bred with something of the same species.

>>30335102
No, you are wrong. I bred a Heavy Ball Male Jangmo-o with a female Luxury Ball one. I'd hazard it's a 20 or so chance to pass down the ball but i haven't examined rates that closely

>>30334893
You can also catch a female one and breed it with a ditto to get a male with the lure ball.

>>30334736
>any non-apricorn
Arent the apricorn balls in SM?

>>30337391
They are, but you can only get the Gen 2 and 5 starters in apricorn balls.

>>30335102
You're wrong
