Is there a way to get a specific ability on a shiny Pokemon?

My next Pokemon is a shiny, the problem has been that I’m not getting the ability I want.

I’ve tested and restarted several options to alter the ability of this next shiny egg. What I wantis a shiny Goomy with Gooey as its ability. The game has been giving me a Hydration Goomy, when the parenthas the hidden ability Gooey. So I’ve tried a Goomy parent with Sap Sipper and I get Sap Sipper nature.

Does anyone know a glitch or anything I can do? p.s. thanks! and I’m using a Ditto slave with a Goomy.

Unfortunately, for that particular Egg, you’re already screwed. In Sun/Moon, Eggs are generated farther in advance than in previous generations. If the Shiny is the next Egg to come from the Daycare, it’s already too late to change it without also losing it as a Shiny.

The problem with Shiny Breeding Hidden Abilities is that you aren’t guaranteed to get the Hidden Ability. The best way to minimize this headache is to ensure you are using a female of the Pokemon specie with the Hidden Ability. This gives an 80% chance that the Hidden Ability will be passed down, instead of the 20% from a male.

So this is a common thing that happens with shiny hunting and I know how to fix it. First you will want to grind up 100BP from the battle tree. Then with that 100BP you can buy something called an ability capsule. If you use this on your Pokemon you should get the ability you want on your shiny goomy without having to breed more shiny goomy. Hope I helped!
