- each Pokémon has a single pre-designated ability
- there’s no way of changing what this is
- some Pokémon are capable of having one of two pre-designated abilities
- the ability is chosen at random when you encounter the Pokémon in the wild
- during breeding, the baby Pokémon’s ability is now dependent on its mother
- if the mother is a dual-ability type, the baby has an 80% chance of inheriting that ability
- this gives the baby a 20% chance of inheriting the other ability that the mother doesn’t have
- you can now 100% guarantee that your Pokémon will inherit a nature from one of its parents
- to do this, give one of the parents an Everstone to hold

This should decrease the number of eggs I hatch by hundreds!
^^^ I don't think you underestimated that one bit. Seriously, that was freaking annoying in past Pokémon games! >.<
They've gradually made the more complex aspects of breeding and training SO much easier for more casual players with each passing generation. I always snubbed the IV/EV stuff, but this is the first time I've tried it and it really isn't that difficult at all.
