Female Froakie won't hatch with Protean, am I missing something?

Question

The goal:
Greninja:
Heal Ball
Hasty
Protean
Toxic Spikes (egg move)

I have this nice breeding project going on, here are my parents.
Froakie (Female)
Luxury Ball
Hasty
Torrent
Toxic Spikes

Froakie (Male)
Luxury Ball
N/A (Female has an Everstone)
Protean
N/A

I am passing on Luxury Balls at the moment, until I get a Froakie parent in a heal ball. I quickly found no luck with same species breeding so I put my male with Protean in with a Ditto to get a female with Protean.

I must have hatched at least two boxes worth of eggs, had many, many Froakies with Protean... my problem is that none with Protean are female. I hatched five eggs in one go, three males with Protean, two females with Torrent. I am new to hidden ability breeding, am I missing something? I know that there's only a 12.5% chance to hatch a female Froakie, but still, I have no problem passing on Protean in general, it's just the females.

There's a 60% chance to pass down a hidden ability (at least, with a male hidden ability Pokemon breeding with a Ditto) and a 12.5% chance for a Froakie to be female. If my math is right, there's only a 7.5% chance for both to happen. Just because you, statistically, should have hatched at least one that's both female and has a hidden ability doesn't mean that you definitely should have hatched one.

If you're playing in Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, you can use Island Scan on a Friday on Poni Island to get a Greninja, which you can just catch in a heal Ball.

I did not know that. Thank you!

Answer 1

No there is no chance to get a female froakie in a heal Ball. The male has a 20% chance of passing o a Hidden Ability if breeding with a Ditto. You will get heal Ball froakies, with toxic spikes and hasty nature, however you can only pass the HA down from a female if you are breeding with the same species - you need to get a female froakie and breed this with the male to have any chance at getting the HA passed down. And of course, it needs to be in Heal Ball.

Didn't he write that he breed with protean female froakie ?

No, male

No, he DID say Female.

Answer 2

I solved my problem.

I managed to find a female froakie with protean on the gts a few hours after posting my problem. I now have a luxury ball froakie, hasty with protean, and toxic spikes. I put the new gts female in with a male with toxic spikes to achieve my final results.

As for the heal ball issue, I don't have access to friend safari so I can't test this for my self but is there a rule that says no heal balls can be used in friend safari? I have froakies in luxury balls, dusk balls, moon balls, and dive balls. All of those were bred from frogadier caught from friend safari. My current best froakie is in a luxury ball, but the new female with protean was in a standard pokeball. I firmly believe that unless heal balls aren't allowed in friend safari, I can get a froakie in a heal ball. I just need a parent in a heal ball first as same species breeding its 50/50 on what parent passes on their ball.
