If HA has a chance of being passed, the chance is always 60%. The ability, like the species, is determined by the female. Meaning, HA can only be obtained using a female parent with HA. If the female does not have HA, then the chance for the offspring to obtain HA is 0% regardless of what ability the male has. Using Ditto doesn't change that, except that breeding a male Pokemon with a Ditto results in the male effectively being treated as a female for the purpose of passing species and ability. Long story short: (Same species) HA male + female (no HA) = no chance of HA (Different species) HA male + female (no HA) = no chance of HA HA male + HA female = 60% chance of HA, 20% of ability 1, 20% of ability 2 Male (no HA) + HA female = 60% chance of HA, 20% of ability 1, 20% of ability 2 Bonus: HA male + Ditto = 60% chance of HA, 20% of ability 1, 20% of ability 2 (The last one is the source of much confusion; even Bulbapedia is wrong. However, I am 100% sure of my claim as I have tested it myself, and so has Cu3PO42.)

According to the Japanese Pokémon Global Link website[1] as reported by Serebii.net[2], 7,651 more players have been hit with the 090-0212 ban wave, after being detected of having a modified game save. This ban bars users from accessing Online Play services (Game Sync, Battle Competitions, Rating Battles, Global Missions). Once again, The Pokémon Company has announced that they will continue their pursuit against people with edited save data.[1,2] If you are affected by the ban, please let us know what kinds of edits you made, so we can get a better idea what The Pokémon Company is looking for. While we already some strong suspicions regarding the causes previously, we urgently recommend not going online if you modified your save,until we have more information on how these bans were triggered.

@suloku Everything I mentioned definitely applies to gen 6. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe nothing changed in gen 7.

Yeah I'm curious myself, but it could just me, minors not understanding, "Legal" pokemon in pkhex and using online with lets say incorrect ability, pokemon that stay in mega form, IV's & EV's totaled above the legal limit, people using mega evolutions that aren't even released yet or even the possibility of having mega stones in inventory that aren't meant to be there, with shiny pokemon it is hard to say as they couldn't tally how many shiny pokemon you have (Hatched, SOS chained or Wild Encounter shiny pokemon. I would say if you are worried about shiny pokemon made in pkhex just make them with a different OT & SID. as then it could of just been from Poke' Bank, GTS, Link Trade and lastly Wonder trade as that is what I have done. I think they targeting people that do that do things that make it "unfair" to others in competitive play. After all my theory comes from the fact why not ban everyone that play online in general connecting online? and just the ones playing rating battles, I don't play rating battles because of the bans I have edited my save file and there is most likely no turning back to fix it. a little offtopic but I also don't understand why people frown upon pkhex as It is a time saver for those who dont simply have the time to hatch thousands and thousands of eggs and then hope for correct natures. I occasionally try to do "LEGIT ones" but then it's even more time consuming to EV & IV train & with all correct moveset. I myself and really thankful for pkhex because I don't like sticking with certain pokemon for a long period of time. I will end it here as its not on topic related. Thank you I believe this goes for everyone else but mostly TheSlayer for all your contribution you have ever made and Kaphotics for PKHEX being so user friendly. just wish there was a legal checker for all generation pokemon.

Yeah I built it with Visual Studio just fine

Since this is a somewhat official statement and this site doesn't endorese piracy, I would add something like "if you modified your savegame and don't want to get banned". I'm just saying because I got the impression the statement was somewhat meant to prevent "cheaters" from being banned, but englsih isn't my mother language so maybe it was just my impression.

So far, I would think that the issue is, have they banned anyone who received illegal Pokemon over GTS or Wonder trade. I mean, come on, there are Dragon Type Arceus holding Meadow Plate on GTS, Shiny Tapu Koko on GTS, and all kinds of nonsense that shouldn't be allowed on GTS.

Yeah, it has been like that with serial codes as well. It'll work if: 1. 3DS region is JPN, with region free activated (cartridge region itself doesn't matter) 2. Region changed emunand 3. Luma with region emulation 4. NTR with region emulation
