Jackie, It's just a very simplified way to explain how the rarity odds are incorporated into breeding. Most of the breeding theories people come up with (like Metal X Goodwitch) don't take into consideration the miniscule odds of breeding an ultra rare. It's all based on the odds and probablity S8 uses in their algorithm (60% chance of a common, 30% rare, 9% super rare, 1% ultra rare). If a pair has no rare or super rare outcomes, the odds on commons are just adjusted upwards to keep ultra rares at the low 1% chance. The 1% never changes. I know this because of a severe gambling addict professor who taught the Odds and Probablity class (which should have been called How to Outsmart Atlantic City) I had to take.:D He explained how all the algorithms worked and how the house always keeps the advantage.
