Travis, I think you read the original post too fast. your breakdowns are incorrect. A SilverBullet (Pastel Cinny/Black Pastel) bred to a WT would give you

1/4 Cinny
1/4 Black Pastel
1/4 Pastel Cinny
1/4 Pastel Black Pastel

Your right...8 ball to normal...
I was thinking (Dbl Cinny Pastel X Black Pastel)
Sorry Ken...lol

As a small point of clarification. The reason you cannot get an 8-ball out of this breeding is because Black Pastel and Cinny are different alleles of the same gene. As such, both cannot be passed on by the parent to the offspring

Only 1 of the paired genes can be passed down to offspring. For instance, the Super Pastel portion of the Silver bullet. A Super Pastel can only pass on 1 of its Pastel Genes. So the most a Super Pastel bred to a Normal will ever produce is a simple Pastel. Make sense?
