>>30704361More interesting results, lads. This time, I used a Female A-Marowak with Lightningrod and a Porygon-Z with Adaptability. In both cases, the base species has a different ability than the evolved one, in either slot: Cubone gets Rock Head instead of Cursed Body and Porygon gets Trace instead of Adaptability. I was going to test with two 50/50 gender species but I couldnt find one that had these properties. Help with other alternatives would be appreciated. Anyway, results:
Parent: 3/1/1/1/1/1 -> Female Marowak with Lightningrod
3/1/5/1/1/1 -> B/R/A/B/B/B | female, same ability
3/5/5/5/2/1 -> B/A/A/A/R/B | male, same ability
3/1/1/1/1/1 -> B/B/B/B/B/R | male, other ability
3/1/5/3/1/1 -> B/B/A/R/B/B | female, same ability
3/1/1/1/1/5 -> R/B/B/B/B/A | male, other ability
Parent: 2/2/1/0/3/4 -> PorygonZ with Adaptability
2/5/1/5/3/4 -> R/A/B/A/B/B | same ability
5/2/1/0/2/5 -> A/B/B/B/R/A | same ability
5/5/5/1/5/5 -> A/A/A/R/A/A | same ability
5/5/5/3/3/4 -> A/A/A/R/B/B | same ability
3/5/5/5/5/4 -> R/A/A/A/A/B | same ability
So, interestingly, the Marowak experiment had the EXACT same results as the Pelipper experiment, and the PorygonZ one had the EXACT same results as the Lilligant/Blissey experiments. So, these results seem to point in the direction that if there is a change in the abilities between child and parent, IVs and gender do not change, but abilities do, in a predicable way. However, if you change the gender ratio, then that disturbance with abilities is not observed, either by luck with the experiments or because it doesn't really happen.
Unfortunately, I cannot think of any more species that have this special case for abilities, like Porygon, Marowak and Pelipper did, so it's hard to test. If you guys come up with another combo, let me know.
As for the next batch of experiments, I wanted to test what happens if I switch over to 100% male gender ratio instead of 100% female, as well as another genderless species.
