First and most useful, the mother is not the only Pokemon capable of passing down Hidden Abilities. The Father can now pass on a Hidden Ability at a much lower rate than the mother can. Where as the Mother had a 60% chance of passing the ability down in B2W2, the father seems to have a much lower chance. Possibly reversed.
The second new breeding Mechanic found, the Pokeball the Mother is in is what determines the Pokeball that the baby is in. It seems to be more an aesthetic addition, but if I catch a mom in a Greatball then the baby will also be in a Greatball when it hatches from its egg.
What do you think of these new mechanics?
Personally I'm happy about the Father passing on Hidden abilities seeing as I was targeting Females only in Horde battles and most of the time I barely had any and the slight chance they had the hidden ability dropped even lower when I would get 1 female. Now I don't have to target genders and can catch whoever survives~
