Female Froakie won't hatch with Protean, am I missing something?

I have this nice breeding project going on, here are my parents.Froakie (Female)Luxury BallHastyTorrentToxic Spikes

Froakie (Male)Luxury BallN/A (Female has an Everstone)ProteanN/A

I am passing on Luxury Balls at the moment, until I get a Froakie parent in a heal ball. I quickly found no luck with same species breeding so I put my male with Protean in with a Ditto to get a female with Protean.

I must have hatched at least two boxes worth of eggs, had many, many Froakies with Protean… my problem is that none with Protean are female. I hatched five eggs in one go, three males with Protean, two females with Torrent. I am new to hidden ability breeding, am I missing something? I know that there’s only a 12.5% chance to hatch a female Froakie, but still, I have no problem passing on Protean in general, it’s just the females.

No there is no chance to get a female froakie in a heal Ball. The male has a 20% chance of passing o a Hidden Ability if breeding with a Ditto. You will get heal Ball froakies, with toxic spikes and hasty nature, however you can only pass the HA down from a female if you are breeding with the same species - you need to get a female froakie and breed this with the male to have any chance at getting the HA passed down. And of course, it needs to be in Heal Ball.

I solved my problem.

I managed to find a female froakie with protean on the gts a few hours after posting my problem. I now have a luxury ball froakie, hasty with protean, and toxic spikes. I put the new gts female in with a male with toxic spikes to achieve my final results.

As for the heal ball issue, I don’t have access to friend safari so I can’t test this for my self but is there a rule that says no heal balls can be used in friend safari? I have froakies in luxury balls, dusk balls, moon balls, and dive balls. All of those were bred from frogadier caught from friend safari. My current best froakie is in a luxury ball, but the new female with protean was in a standard pokeball. I firmly believe that unless heal balls aren’t allowed in friend safari, I can get a froakie in a heal ball. I just need a parent in a heal ball first as same species breeding its 50/50 on what parent passes on their ball.
