How do you breed Pokemon with the same nature as the mother?

Question

Okay so I want to hatch a jolly natured Pikachu, I've heard that if the mother holds an everstone the egg that hatches is that same nature ( my female Pikachu being jolly natured ) I tried it but it didn't work, could somebody tell me how to do so?

What game is this? If it's before Black and White 2, you only have a 50%chance to pass the nature down with the everstone. Otherwise, not sure if I could help.

does the father happen to be holding an everstone?

Answer 1

For both the mother ad father, you would give the Pokemon with the nature you want an everstone.

If youre playing a game that came out before Black2/White2, you don't have a full chance of passing down the nature. It's a 50% chance, so try again.

If you're not playing an older game, the only thing I can think of is if you accidentally gave the everstone to the wrong Pokemon (in this case the father), or you hatched an egg that was made before you gave pikachu an everstone. Double check that your everstone is on the right Pokemon and try again. This should clear up any problems.
