I'm trying to breed a relicanth, and I have a male gyarados and a female relicanth. It should always pop out as a relicanth, right? Well, I gave the Gyarados a Power belt, or band or whatever, the one that is HP related, and I gave the relicanth the power item that relates to Defense. Gyarados has 31 IV's in HP, Relicanth has 31 IV's in defense so it just seemed like maybe it could work out like it did in gold and silver, so that they pass them on. Instead what I saw was that the the male gyarados and the female relicanth were giving birth to magikarp instead of relicanth!!! Can somebody explain why this was happening? I read about exceptions to the baby species = mother species rule, and this wasn't one of them.
