Dream world ability not passing down to offspring?

2 minute read

After recently deciding I want to use a Girafarig in a competitive team, I wanted to get a dream world Girafarig. Only problem being, you need 7,500 dream points according to Bubapedia to find Girafrig with its hidden ability Sap Sipper.

A few days ago, I asked a friend of mine if he could get me a dream world Girafarig and he did. Only, I think it might be hacked cause it says, met at Dreamyard rather than Entree Link. I want to breed it for the right nature and I’ve got 31 Girafarigs and not a single one has Sap sipper. THE DREAMWORLD GIRAFARIG IS FEMALE.

Is there a reason I cant get sap sipper? I’m breeding it with a male Girafarig.Thanks!

Well there is only a certain chance to get a Hidden ability. It will sometimes get the Hidden ability, and sometimes get the normal one. Just breed more until you get one Ok?

Who hacks a Girafarig? Anyway:

i. I don’t know if Entree Forest is the meeting place for Dream World Pokemon, so maybe check against a Dream World Pokemon of your own.

ii. in BW, the chances of passing down a hidden ability from a fem. parent is 60%; in B2W2, it is 80%. It is still not 100% sure that the offspring has the hidden ability.

iii. if you’ve bred the Pokemon with a Ditto, it willnotresult in hidden ability in the offspring, even if the Pokemon is female and has its hidden ability.

If the Pokemon isn’t hacked, the Pokemon you’ve bred with isn’t a Ditto, then you’ve just been unlucky.

I do believe your problem is that the DW Girafarig is Female.

EDIT: Sorry, I’m wrong. You are just extremely unlucky.

Your friend probably misunderstood what Dream World meant and went to the Dreamyard and hacked for one. Sorry, that’s not a DW Griafarig, if that’s the case. Also, check to see if the Girafarig you already have has Sap Sipper.
