Question: Do I give Greninja an Everstone for the Froakies to get a different ability? All the hatching Froakies I got are all Torrent. I have yet to see one with Protean.
If breeding a male Greninja with a Ditto, you actually do need to have it hold onto an Everstone in order to pass down the ability.If you havent figured it out by now.. what you do is have Greninja breed with a ditto until you have a female Froakie with protean.. then you use that to create other protean Froakies. Everstone only passes the nature, not the ability. I still recommend using it if your Greninja's nature is to your liking to save you a few breeding steps.. otherwise you're only going to get random natures.
