Breeding and not getting Ability from one parent?

Sep. 28, 2014

Hello. I’m currently playing Pokemon Y. I have two Torchics that I want to breed with the ability, egg moves, and nature I want. I got a male Torchic with the Speed Boost ability, and I got a female Torchic with the egg moves and Jolly nature. I don’t seem to be getting the Speed Boost ability with the offspring, just the nature and egg moves. The female one is holding an Everstone and the male one is holding nothing. Is there a way to breed the two and get really lucky on getting the ability, or is there another way?

It is only possible for female parents to pass down Hidden Abilities, a male Pokemon can only pass down a Hidden Ability if it is bred with Ditto.So if you want the egg moves, nature and the ability, you will have to breed a female Torchic with Speed Boost, breed with the appropriate Pokemon egg moves, and wait until you get one with a jolly nature.
