Is it possible to breed a Pokemon and transfer its ability?

I know you can use an everstone to transfer the nature but I was wondering if you can transfer the ability to. Mainly hidden abilities

Nope. If you want a hidden Ability you have to Breed with a Pokemon with the Hidden Ability. And sometimes you will get the other Abilities. I think the Chances Change based on the Gender of the Pokemon. Good Luck.

is there a limit to how many times you can switch out pokemon. I really think there should be. Not including Volt Switch and U-Turn. Having people keep Switching is just frustrating sometimes.

So I just discovered how freaking cool Cofagrigus is (I haven't played a pokemon game since Silver. Not SoulSilver, the OG shit :D. I've missed a TON of swag looking pokemon) and I neeeeeed one. Anyone have a Yamask?

Thats just part of the meta man. You have to predict what he's switching into and do what you can to counter it.

Why are your Wonder Trades so gdlk? XD And I'd prefer something with no perfect IV's (I like starting with a clean slate, in case I want to try a different set) and nature wise, I guess Quiet, but only if it would be easy for you to obtain (like if you have a Quiet ghost type already)

You have to breed pokemon with the hidden ability. If it's male parent i think it'sa 75% chance the child gets the hidden ability and 50% for a female.

Im really salty. Cause i lost to shit ton of people who kept switching. And there was nothing i could do. I just want more skill. I feel like if they limited it then there would be more thought into it then. Oh let me switch to a better type. then i do it. then he does it again. And it keeps going. Its just really stupid. Also dislike the luck in it. I missed 3 moves with 95% accuracy. He hit 3 Hurricanes. Like its just doesnt make sense at all. To some extent you can predict but you also cannot. Since you can run one of 700+ Pokemon. So tying to figure out what could come next is like wtf.

I can give you a 5 IV Arena Trap Dugtrio :) (They're not ideal being -Sp. Def, but breeding for Arena Trap is a BITCH)

But yeah, I haven't really battled TOO much, but I can imagine the "luck" of hitting moves, critical hits, confusion etc. is going to be pretty annoying at times, but it's apart of the game I guess. And I'm sure there are going to be matches where you're on the good side of all the luck too :/

If they are switching into pokemon to deal with yers you need to hit them with moves that can effectively hit their switch ins. If that pokemon doesnt have anything but you know whats coming then you can switch too and scare his out or make him deal with what you bring in. He's going to have to try and attack at some point unless he is a stall master lol. It's all just about making the proper reads. I feel you on the luck part though, because I have the worst of it lol.

Sometimes you dont actually have answer set up though. The battles i had i didnt have an answer. Happens sometimes. Cant have one to everything. And it sucks when he knows you are going to switch so sets up and kills everything.

I actually like Dugtrio. If you are willing to do that it would be cool. ^_^. Also the Luck thing sucks. So very much

Yeah usually that's just due to a flaw in yer team. You can either adjust or just hold dat tbh lol. That is definitely the price of switching. Getting read and giving someone free boosts.

Id say either scarfed excadrill for spinning or mandibuzz/latias for defogging if you want hazards gone. Just my two cents. :p
