Let's say I do breed a Pokemon with five perfect IV's, how would I manage to get the 6th perfect IV? Luck. You have to rely on the chance that the parents pass the correct 5 IVs because of Destiny Knot and then you have a 1/32 chance of getting 31 on the 6th IV. | ||

OK - so for example, if I breed a parent with 31/31/x/x/x/x IV stats and the other parent with x/x/31/x/31/31 stats, where x = imperfect IV stat, then there is a chance for the egg to hatch with IV stats of 31/31/31/x/31/31 or some variant of that, with x having a 1/32 chance of getting the 6th perfect IV? Or is it once I get the 5 IV Pokemon I use that to breed with a ditto? Not sure what to do here, but my goal is to start breeding 6 IV's Pokemons. | ||

In your example, you are breeding a 2 IV with a 3 IV. While there IS a chance you can end up with a 5 IV offspring, the chance is pretty low. You are essentially putting 5 perfect IVs into a pool of 12 parent stats, of which 6 are chosen to be the offspring's stats. 5 out of 12 isn't the best odds, so you want to keep swapping out the parents with the better offspring. e.g. generation 1: breed 2 IV with 3 IV. get a bunch of offspring, of which a few are 4 IVs. generation 2: pick out 2 of the 4 IVs that are perfect in different areas so every stat is covered, make them the parents. offspring should end up including a few 5 IVs. generation 3: replace with 5 IV as parents now, and pray that you get lucky with a 6 IV baby | ||

So pretty much it's a matter of trial and error such that it's very rare to get 5 IV pokemon off the first breed, because most Pokemon are by default 2 or 3 IV (2 for safari, some are 3 by default excluding legendaries). The best way would be to keep breeding until you get some 4 IV's that fit the criteria that you need and make them parents -> breed again to get 5 IV's. ^^ On November 06 2013 03:50 ReketSomething wrote: The thing to note is that getting a 6 IV child is not always the best competitively. Pokemon that don't use their attack stat should have 0 attack. There are also some pokemon that prefer having 0 speed. Right, such as trick room Pokemon? | ||

Basically you keep switching the pokemon at Daycare when you get a good egg with more IVs, to improve the odds of getting what you want. | ||

Oh, so breeding with the ditto is kind of like to kick start the whole process, and once you hatch a Pokemon with more desirable stats/traits, then you use that offspring to breed with the parent. Thanks for the clarification! | ||

Replacing the parents with better offspring will allow you to get better and better IVs over time. For instance: if I have a Charmander with a 31 IV in Speed and a Charmander with a 31 IV in Attack, and they have a child with 31 IVs in Speed, Attack, and Special Defense, it will accelerate the process of breeding a perfect Charmander if I replace one of the parents with that child. As you get better children, you swap out the parents for those children for higher chances of good IVs in future offspring. I just said that the way I did because I was trying to be funny. | ||

Soooo I am going to start properly on a reuniclus. So wish me luck! Still need to find a safari that has it, but should be easy enough. I think I might catch reunicluses until I find one with the right nature, then get my dittos with 3 perfect stats and that reuniclus to breed a ton till one or two have 3/4 ivs, then keep breeding. Fingers crossed it won't take long to get a perfect one. Then might go scour the interwebs for charmander safari...and then for the one I want I think I need egg moves...ergh..yuck...don't know how to transfer egg moves once it has them.. | ||

I want to breed, but the head starts offered here look so nice. Also, what's the best way to earn money in the game? I'm actually kind of low after buying all the TMs and stuff. Make sure you use Amulet Coin + Prize Money Power(these are essential :D... ) Battle Chateau runs(I think there is a challenge you can issue for richer opponents) The sushi restaurant and 3 star restaurant in Lumiouse City Be sure to do the daily battle with your rival in Kiloude City, and then there is a daily inverse battle which gives you good/rare items sometimes Route 18. That's about it, I think elite 4 works too but its slower/pays less than other options. Does anyone have pokerus i can get? I can give you a wish eevee in return. | ||
