>>30707647Alright, same deal as ever. Used a Female Clefable with Magic Guard and a Female Granbull with Quick Feet (which becomes Run Away on Snubbul, same deal as Marowak and Pelipper before). Results:
Parent: 2/1/0/1/4/2 -> Female Clefable with Magic Guard
2/1/5/1/4/2 -> B/R/A/B/B/B | female, same ability
2/5/5/5/2/2 -> B/A/A/A/R/B | male, same ability
2/1/0/1/4/1 -> B/B/B/B/B/R | male, other ability
2/1/5/3/4/2 -> B/B/A/R/B/B | female, same ability
3/1/0/1/4/5 -> R/B/B/B/B/A | male, other ability
Parent: 1/1/1/1/2/5 -> Female Granbull with Quick Feet
1/1/5/1/2/5 -> B/R/A/B/B/B | female, same ability
1/5/5/5/2/5 -> B/A/A/A/R/B | male, same ability
1/1/1/1/2/1 -> B/B/B/B/B/R | male, other ability
1/1/5/3/2/5 -> B/B/A/R/B/B | female, same ability
3/1/1/1/2/5 -> R/B/B/B/B/A | male, other ability
Alright, so we have reached something final and absolute regarding IVs and gender:
There are two "groups" for IV inheritance, pokemon that can have either gender and pokemon that can only have one gender or are genderless. Swapping parents in the same group will yield the same IV spread and gender distribution over the eggs. If you swap groups, there are some disturbances in the IV spread. It should be noted that breeding with Ditto can alter who inherits IVs from who since it can "be" either male or female, and the Destiny Knot follows a specific order (say, male always comes first). This can then be used to manipulate IVs in a way that 5/6IV children can be obtained fairly quickly.
The whole problem is abilities. I can't see a pattern to them, there are coincidences, but I need a larger sample size to make any valid conclusions. Even then, stuff isn't making much sense anyway, so I cant say for sure whether we can manipulate abilities or not. I'm gonna take a break here and do other things, but I will come back way later to test other things like swapping parents between eggs rather than generating sets of eggs for each parent, and taking out Ditto from the picture.
