FA+

i have a few 5iv pokemon i've bred, if youre interested. but they're level 1 and not trained yet.
well everyone seems to be explaining everything pretty well.
i do have these pokemon if your interested:
5iv adamant tyrunt w/ dragon dance and fang moves
5iv timid noibat
5iv shinx with hidden ability guts, and fang moves
6iv sneasel
5iv totodile with dragon dance and ice punch
5iv archen
5iv amaura
5iv espurr with hidden ability
5iv adamant male ralts with hidden ability
some 5iv eevees with yawn and wish
and 5iv lapras with normal and hidden abilities
i also have a shiny milotic with 5ivs
oman I'd love that Lapras/Shinx ;o; also i only have Y :Y if you have em on X/Y i'm not sure if trading between XY and ORAS is a thing \:o
my fc is:1770-0551-4577 c:
and did you want a lapras with the normal or hidden ability? so water absorb, or hydration?
also what genders? i have males and females of both the lapras and shinx.
my fc is 1564-4928-0486
I'll totally draw you something for this btw :)
and MAN i would love art from you but you dont have to.
If you have Omega or Alpha, you can find 3 iv pokemon in the wild using the dexnav.
Or breed a 6 iv ditto with any other breedable pokemon. :)
6 iv dittos could br found on the GTS
lol
As for spare pokes I have these if you'd want them:
2 ORAS 5IV Adamnt Ekans with Sucker Punch. Both female and both have Intimidate.
ORAS 5IV Bold Espurr. Male with Own Tempo (so will be Prankster when he evolves)
ORAS 5IV Jolly Aerodactyl with Wide Guard, Tailwind, and Pursuit. Male with Pressure.
ORAS 5IV Impish Phanpy. Female with Pickup (so will be Sturdy)
XY 6IV Adamant Buneary with Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Fire Punch and Sky Uppercut. Female with Klutz.
XY 5IV Adamant Larvitar with Dragon Dance, Stealth Rock, and Pursuit. Male with Guts.
XY 5IV Adamant Totodile with Crunch, Dragon Dance and Ice Punch. Male with Torrent.
XY 5IV Adamant Dratini with Dragon Dance and Extreme speed. Female with Marvel Scale.
XY 5IV Jolly Shinx with Night Slash, Ice Fang, and Fire Fang. Male with Rivalry.
XY 5IV Adamant Barboach with Dragon Dance. Female with Oblivious.
I have no idea how much you know about competitive sets and such but I can explain anything about these if you'd like!
Also if you need a good ditto and are not apposed to questionable means I can clone you the 6IV Japanese Ditto I have so you have a chance at getting a shiny while IV breeding!
SORRY FOR THE MASSIVE RAMBLE POST I just love pokemon stuff.
thats so cool
dude i'm like a complete noob when it comes to IV/EVs
you will have to explain a lot (if you want to)
btu yeah id be happy to have any of your spares. I use a Tyranitar already in my shitty team loll
You can have any of 'em you'd be interested in just let me know which one you'd like. I can also nickname any of these pokes if you're one for nicknames.
I've watched a couple videos but tbh a lot of it went over my head because its a lot to take in xD
For IV Breeding~
Before you start you will need:
- A base pokemon! The better the base easier this will be. A base is the same species of the pokemon you want your final result to be. A good place to get these are a friend safari (guaranteed to have at least 2 perfect IVs I believe?), the GTS (not everyone on the GTS tells the truth unfortunately so be careful with that), or if you're lucky even a wondertrade! (a lot of breeders tend to throw their leftovers into the wondertrading abyss so others can have a good start with their own breeding)
- Dittos! You're going to want a lot of dittos with good natures. Some natures I suggest getting: Adamant, Modest (Offensive Natures), Jolly, Timid (Speed Natures), Bold, Impish (Defensive Natures), Calm, Careful (Specially Defensive Natures)
- An everstone! The everstone is used to pass on the nature you want to the babies and ALL the babies will have this nature. So for example: You are breeding a Quirky Dragonite with an Adamant Ditto. In the end you want an Adamant Dragonite. Because you want the Adamant Nature to be passed on to the babies, you will put the everstone on the adamant parent (the ditto in this case) and all the babies will come out adamant.
- A destiny knot! The destiny knot ups the chances of perfect IVs being passed on. This one is simple in that you put it one whichever parent does not have the everstone.
- A pokemon with the Flame Body ability as well as Hatching O-Power. While these aren't exactly necessary, they will save you a TON of time. I personally suggest Talonflame/Fletchinder for Flame Body as they also have access to fly. Basically what Flame Body does is reduce the number of steps needed to hatch eggs by %50. If you manage to upgrade your Hatching O-Power up to level 3 then you'll get an additional 50% reduction for hatching steps.
- Know where Judge is for your game! Judge is the guy who tells you how many perfect IVs a pokemon has. In X/Y he is in Kiloude's Pokemon Center, in ORAS he is in the Battle Frontier's Pokemon Center.
A little more on Judge:
Judge is REALLY important so I'm going to make a mini section on him. When you take your pokemon to Judge, you either want him to say the correct 5 IVs or all 6 IVs. To help I'm going to do an example. Let's say I have a Arcanine I want to breed but don't know their stats. I take them to Judge and I get something similar to this (I don't know the exact wording I apologize) :
"Incidentally, I would say its greatest potential lies in its HP. But its Attack stat is good, too. Hmm. And its Defense stat is good, too. This Pokémon has some fantastic stats. That's how I judge it."
So what does this mean? Well, simply put, this pokemon has NO perfect IVs. But how do I know this? The last line. He just says they're "fantastic", which means they're less than perfect. What you want for the last line is "Stats like those... They simply can't be beat! That's how I judge it."
SO if instead the above sentence was:
"Incidentally, I would say its greatest potential lies in its HP. But its Attack stat is good, too. Hmm. And its Defense stat is good, too. Stats like those... They simply can't be beat! That's how I judge it."
Then this means that the pokemon has 3 perfect stats - HP, Attack, and Defense. This result is usually preceded by him saying the pokemon has "outstanding" stats.
So what stats are you wanting to have perfect IVs for? The absolute perfect pokemon would have all 6 stats with perfect IVs, however 5IV pokemon are also acceptable and usually take less time! For example if you are breeding for a Mega Charizard Y it would be acceptable for them to only have perfect IVs in HP, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Why is this? Because Mega Charizard Y is NOT a physical attacker, so the perfect attack IV is not necessary. Likewise if you were breeding for a Charizard X, he would not need the Special Attack IV because Charizard X is a physical attacker. This also holds true for defensive pokemon - A Slowbro will not need it's Attack stat ever so it does not need the perfect attack IV. In rare cases it would also be good to not have full speed but this is only if you'd ever want a trick room team/have a gyro ball user.
The Process:
To make this a little easier I'm going to give an example scenario.
I am starting with a Bashful Female Gardevoir with max HP and Special Attack IVs. In the end I want a Timid Ralts so I can have a Mega Gardevoir.
Because I want a Timid Ralts, I am going to breed my current Bashful Gardevoir with my Timid Ditto. This Ditto has perfect IVs in HP and Speed. Here's what I do..
- I have both these pokemon in my party with my talonflame. I put the everstone on my Timid Ditto, as I want a Timid pokemon in the end, and I put the destiny knot on the Bashful Gardevoir. After both pokemon have their items I put them in the daycare. It is also important to remember BOTH pokemon's IVs that are currently in the daycare.
- After I hatch my first batch I take them to Judge. Luckily I got a Timid Ralts with Max HP, Special Attack, and Speed. Now I can take the current two pokemon in the daycare out.
- Now I grab another ditto - let's say this one has Max HP and Defense. I put the everstone on my Timid Ralts (because I still want timid) and the destiny knot on this ditto, then I put them in the daycare.
- Eventually I hatch another Ralts - this time this one is 4IV and has Max HP, Defense, Special Attack and Speed. Only one more ditto to go through!
- Repeating the above process, I take out the old pokemon and put in the 4IV Ralts along with the new ditto (let's say this one is Max Special Attack and Special Defense)
- In time with enough luck I'll be able to hatch a 5IV/6IV Ralts.
******** You can also breed babies with the parent if the babies are better than the ditto. Like let's say for that last 4IV Ralts I ended up hatching a Ralts with max HP, Special Attack Special Defense, and Speed. Well I can throw that Ralts in (as long as the genders permit of course) with the 4IV Ralts already in there so they have a better chance of passing down the IVs. (A 4IV Ralts has a better chance of making a 5IV Ralts with another 4IV pokemon than a 2IV one basically.)
I know this is a ton BUT if you have any specific questions/would like me to explain something more just ask! :0 I'll be doing the EV training next (it's a much easier process I promise)
thank you so much for this btw :O

And if you're looking for nature suggestions, I briefly mentioned smogon during the EV bit but they also have nature suggestions with their sets:

No problem at all! I know it can be a bit confusing to get into so I'd love to help all I can c:
Before you start you'll need:
- A high level pokemon with a move that hits multliple pokemon. This will make horde battles a LOT easier. I personally use a Golem with Earthquake/Rock slide.
- Macho Brace. This makes your pokemon gain more EVs each battle. It should be attached to the above pokemon.
- A pokemon with pokerus. This isn't absolutely necessary but it makes everything go a lot quicker. Pokerus also makes your pokemon gain more EVs with each battle. Pokemon get pokerus by battling with/against other pokemon with pokerus. So, if you have a pokemon with pokerus in your party then the pokemon you are EV training is bound to get pokerus eventually! You can tell if your pokemon has pokerus by the little icon by their level: http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki.....contagious.jpg It should be noted that pokemon are eventually cured of pokerus and will no longer be able to transfer the "virus" after that.
- The power items. Another item to help make this quicker by giving you more EVs each battle. You will need a specific power item depending on which stat you are training:
Power Weight for HP
Power Bracer for Attack
Power Belt for Defense
Power Lens for Special Attack
Power Band for Special Defense
Power Anklet for Speed
The power items can all be found in the Battle Maison. They're 16 BP each.
- A pokemon with sweet scent. Using sweet scent in the grass/caves guarantees a horde encounter!
- Exp Share. Exp Share MUST be turned on or else pokemon in your party will not receive the EVs.
The Process:
Let's say you're EV training a squirtle and you want him to have max EVs in Special Attack and HP with the leftover EVs going into Special Defense. For your spread attacker you have a level 50 Golem with rockslide/earthquake and for your sweet scent user you have an oddish. You also have a weedle with pokerus.
- Put your golem out front - he'll be doing all the battling. He should also have the macho brace as his held item.
- Put a power lens on squirtle so you can begin training him for special attack. Put weedle beside him in the party.
- Go to the route with the horde you'll need. Go into the grass/cave and use sweet scent.
- A horde will pop up! If you found the pokemon horde you need then that's amazing - if it is a different pokemon with a stat you are not currently training for then run away!
- Once you've fought enough hordes to max out your Special Attack EV, put on the next power item and go to the next place you need to fight hordes on. Pretty simple when you have a list of areas to go to find specifics hordes! c:
Tips and other such things:
- If you're unsure how many EVs you currently have/what your spread is like, go to the super training screen! I always like to have that screen up when I'm EV training so I can see how close I am to maxing out a stat.
- Every pokemon has 508 EVs total. The max amount of EVs a stat can have is 252. The most common spreads are having two max stats and then throwing the last 4 EVs into the third most useful stat.
- Don't worry if you mess up. Super training is nice enough to have Reset bags which resets all your EVs! You just have to tap the little punching bag on the screen until one pops up.
- If you're unsure of which routes to go with, here are the routes I personally use for each game (since I don't know which version you're playing on haha) :
** HP: XY Pokemon Village (Foongus/Noctowl), ORAS Rusturf Tunnel (Whismur)
** Attack: XY Route 19 (Arbok/Weepinbell), ORAS Jagged Pass (Machop)
** Defense: XY Victory Road (Geodude), ORAS Route 111 Desert (Sandshrew)
** Special Attack: XY Route 7 (Roselia), ORAS Route 113 (Spinda)
** Special Defense: XY Route 7 (Hopip), ORAS Route 114 (Swablu/Lotad)
** Speed: XY Victory Road (Floatzel), ORAS Route 101 (Zigzagoon)
- If you're unsure of EV spreads you'd like to try out there are plenty of sites out there to help! Smogon tends to be the standard from what I've seen.
Once again if you have any questions just lemme know!
I specialize in breeding shinies with perfect IVs. c: I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but since I found Poke'mon Y (after thinking I had lost it months ago weh) I should be getting back into it again!!
do you charge?
Ffft, okay. <3 I appreciate it! ^_^
