When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]] inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a ditto. <ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 EVerstone breeding working on males] - Pokécommunity forums</ref>.
