I finally caught a Houndour, took me effin forever. Oh this is in Soul Silver. Too broke to buy a new game xp

I have a question, are Natures pre-set per Egg?

aka, if I hatched it, didn't like the nature, and didn't save but restarted and tried to hatch again from the same egg, could I possibly get a different nature? or do I just "try again?", and go back to the DayCare Man for a new one?

Hrm...I have saved to the point of taking two steps and it hatches. I think I'll continue resetting.

It's just that the last 5 times I've gotten a Serious Nature with a Early Bird Trait and I'm trying to get a Timid with a Flash Fire trait. I have a Timid Ditto with a Bashful male Houndour that has a Flash Fire.

Everything about a pokémon is decided as soon as the egg is received from the daycare man. If you want a different nature / ability / IV / or color (shiny), you will have to get another egg.

Also, if you want Timid nature, give your Timid Ditto an Everstone. This increases your odds of getting Timid nature from 1 out of 25 to 1 out of 2 (50%). Ability is a random 50-50 chance on pokémon with two possible abilities; so breed until you get the one you want.

Oh man, thank you so much. My Timid Ditto has an Everstone on it already, so I'll just go back to DayCare man.

I wasn't sure about that at all, so thank you. heart

one more question, is it possible to breed and get opposite genders with a ditto?

I'm having zero luck with trying to find a female houndour that I want to breed with a male rattata/raticate to learn pursuit. I have a male houndour right now in Daycare.

Yes, it is. The only time it is not possible to get a pokémon of the opposite gender is when a male counterpart species (e.g. Volbeat or Nidoran♂) is bred with a Ditto--- i.e. a Ditto and a Nidoran♂ will never produce a Nidoran♀ and a Ditto and a Volbeat will never produce an Illumise. But the opposite is not true--- a Ditto and a Nidoran♀ have a 50% chance of producing a Nidoran♂ and a Ditto and an Illumise have a 50% chance of producing a Volbeat.

But for normal species that have a chance of being either gender there is always a chance of producing an egg of the opposite gender. It depends on the species what the chance of getting that gender is, though; for Houndour it's 50%, and you could just be having zero luck. lol
