Just caught the alpha Pikachu from the Viridian forest, it is a timid male with average IVs. I want to breed it with my female normal timid Pikachu with better IVs.
I've heard that in order for breeding offspring to be Alpha, both parents need to be Alpha.
However, if I breed the alpha male with the normal female will the new Pikachu still have the hidden ability of the Alpha? My goal is to have a good IV female timid Pikachu with the hidden ability, I don't care about the Alpha status.
