Can breeding move Dark Ball?

Dark Ball breeds forward as a dark-element trait: the verified chain for Dark Ball reaches 264 Pals, 264 of 299 in this data set. A hatched Pal keeps only 3 active skills at once, so Dark Ball — power 50 — can still be squeezed out of an already-full set even after breeding lands it. 27 Pals also learn Dark Ball naturally by leveling up, starting with Bakemi at level 1. Its internal identifier in the source data is DarkBall.

Active-skill inheritance: before 1.0 any learned skill could pass down; from 1.0 only each parent's three equipped slots
