Need help makin' babies

[Psywave Gym Leader Sticks]

I got a small breeding question I could never really find a straight answer for.
When you breed will the baby always be what the female was? or is their a percentige of getting the male pokemon as a baby like in a capture rate?

thats all i know so if you want shiny it has to be female

I think the question really was:

(example)
If I breed a female Gyarados and a male Dragonite, will the baby be a Magikarp or Dratini?

It will be a Magikarp. The species of the Pokemon always comes from the mother, at the lowest stage possible. If the mother is a Raichu, the baby will be a Pichu, no matter who the father is. If the mother is a Miltank and the baby is a Tauros, the baby will be a Miltank.

*The only exception is if you breed a Ditto with a male Pokemon. In that case, the baby will be the same species as the male Pokemon. A baby Pokemon can never be a Ditto.

Also, Volbeat/Illumise and Nidoran male and female will be random.

So if you breed Volbeat and Illumise together for example, the hatched egg could be either of them.

They are right, except for squirtleboy12.

PS: lol @ Title.

Shinies are random.

One of my friends got a shiny from an egg when neither were shiny.

There is still a 1 in 8192 chance that it is a shiny.
