How to breed Goomy Hidden Ability?

2 minute read

Hello Ladies and Gents

I have been trying for the past 3 days to breed a Gooey Goodra but have not been able to

I have a 6IV Shiny Gooey Female Goodra Everstone which I initially bred with a 6IV Ditto Destiny Knot but did not get a single Gooey Goomy after 36 eggs

I then tried a with a normal male Goomy Destiny Knot and tried again but no Gooey Goomy in 36 eggs

Is there something I am doing wrong? I am thinking this is a Glitch as I have been able to breed Hidden Abilities with ease in the past

Breeding two Pokemon with normal abilities will never result in a Pokemon with a hidden ability.To breed a Pokemon with a hidden ability, the female Pokemon (or a male/genderless Pokemon being bred with a ditto) must have its hidden ability.It will have a 60% chance of passing on the hidden ability.This does, unfortunately, mean you’ll need to catch or trade for a Pokemon of the right species with the hidden ability to begin with.

Ripped fromsourcebecause it’s put so perfectly.

I tried for Gale Wings Fletchling for goodness knows how long before I realised.

Sorry about that, pal, you’re going to have to get one by trade.

Just a heads-up, using the item Ability Capsule doesnotchange its ability to its Hidden Ability.

Huge edit:

As sumwum pointed out, Gooey Goodra is indeed hidden ability Goodra. I overlooked it by mistake. This renders my entire answer null and void, and I sincerely apologise.

Further, that means Chaz17 (i.e., you) are insanely unlucky, because I see nothing wrong with your approach. I am not sure if there can be any other problem, as far as theory is concerned. Keep trying, though, the (flawed) Law of Evening Out suggest you’ll get one. Eventually.

On a side note, buying a rabbit’s foot or a horseshoe about now would be a good idea. (Just kidding :p )
