Actually the chances depend on the parents. If you have two parents that show and hide the same (for example two X hiding Y), then the chances are 50 percent, as follows:
25% chance pure X
50% chance mixed XY
25% chance pure Y

If they share only one shown/hidden between them (for example X hiding Y and Z hiding X), then the only possibility for a pure trait is the 25% chance of getting XX.

If they share none, then there's no chance of getting a pure trait.

One thing to bear in mind, in the first example, if you assume X is dominant to Y, then if you see the Y trait, you know it's pure. If you see the X trait, then there's 33 percent chance it's pure and 67% chance it's mixed. This is actually a good thing for us as breeders, because that means, for example, if both parents hide a desirable trait and the box shows the more dominant trait, there's a 2/3 chance it's hiding the desirable one.
