'Perfect' mon breeding general
New to breeding? Read this shit.
So Generation 6 made IV breeding a big fucking joke, really. With friend Safari and Destiny Knot, and other shit introduced in generation 5, with relatively small dedication you can get those semi-perfect mons.
Where to start? Don't bother until you've beaten the E4, for starters.
Here are the most important notes. READ THIS.
1) You can tell what IVs are maxed by talking to the guy in the Pokecenter in Kiolude, the town that unlocks after you beat the E4.
He will describe them as "can't be beat".
2) Friend Fucking Safari. It's a paradise of Pokemon where each wild mon is guaranteed 2 maxed IVs, easiest shit ever.
3)Synchronize.
http://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/synchronize.shtml If your lead Pokemon has this ability, wild Pokemon have a 50% chance of copying his nature.
4) Everstone
Passes the nature of the parent that holds it 100%
5) Destiny Knot
Passes 5 random IVs between the parents to the babby
----Getting yourself set up----
Most important part in my opinion. Remember that you're dependent on friend Safaris and such which might not always be there.
Better start stocking up right now on useful breeding tools.
1) Get the Destiny Knot, it's in Cyllage city, in a hote, a maid gives it to you
2) Get Everstone. In Geosenge town, or wild Roggenrola.
3)The key thing is access to Safari Dittos. Find someone here with Dittos.
What's particular about those Ditto are that they come packed with 2 MAXED IVs as mentioned above.
Stock up on useful ditto. Get yourself some good natured Ditto of all kinds, get as many IV combinations as possible.
Best thing to do is to then rename them to those IVs so you remember it.
Check their maxed IVs checked, then rename them accordingly. [EX: HP ATK SPEED ditto]
-NOTE- Try to get Dittos with 3 maxed stats, best.
So you got your basic shit done/

Check the above linked list and stock up on the useful natures - Bold, Impish, Adamant, Jolly, Timid, Modest, Naive. It could come very handy in breeding. Easiest way I found is access to a Psychic type Safari with Xatu and Munna and shit. Got your shit. Now let's start breeding. Step 1: Acquire desired mon Get yourself that desired Pokemon. Just the species is enough at this point. Let's say I want my Froakie. Got it. Step 2: Get desired nature. Either breed it with ditto or something else that has the nature you want [everstone] or just breed a bunch until you get it. So I want my Timid Froakie, well, got myself a Timid ditto, gonna breed it. Step 3: Use that desired nature mon@everstone with a ditto@destiny knot [of desired IVs] In this case I have my SPATK SPEED ditto and my Timid Froakie. Step 4: Breed a few until you get a babby with the desired IVs all passed down Got myself a Timid Froakie with 31 SPATK 31 SPEED now. Step 4: Now breed that baby with desired IVs@everstone with another ditto with other desired stats@destiny knot Gonna breed it with my HP DEF SPDEF Ditto now Step 5: Keep breeding, this part sucks cause it takes a while, but eventually you get a decent balance of stats passed down Step 6: Got myself a new Froakie, Timid, with HP/DEF/SP.ATK/Speed all maxed out. Notes: 1) The key part is getting Dittos with 3 maxed stats, really. Just hunt them in the Safari. 2) Hidden Abilities will pass if one of the parents has them, but at a rate [like 50%? I'd guess] 3) I didn't cover breeding for attacks, the essential idea is to find a male from the same egg group that can learn the move as your female desired Pokemon. 4) What can make your life easier is if your desired mon is found in the Safari, cause that's 2 guaranteed stats. Hunt a few with Synchronize till you find the 2 stats you want, this cuts the work by a lot. You then have the nature, 2 IVs from that guy, and 2 IVs [or 3 as you should] from the ditto.

Destiny Knot replaces the single IV items, then?
Anonymous
>>14800857 Just a couple of notes:
Friend Safari mons seem to be able to have more than 2 perfect IVs. I have a few with 3 and I've heard people getting some with 4.
Synchronize doesn't really seem to work there either. I had a Timid Ralts with Synchro as my lead and caught a ton of things in FS, none of them were passed the same nature. Dunno though, there's a chance I got extremely unlucky.

So naturally by sheer odds you'd have others with 31.
As I recommend in the guide, getting Dittos with 3 or more maxed is key in this game.
You WERE extremely unlucky, I have a boxful of Timid Braixens, it's the same as ever, 50%.

What does Destiny Knot do in breeding, exactly?

Quoted By:
>>14801084 They guarantee ONE IV gets passed on. However, with FS mons you can get a pair with 4-6 perfect IVs in total and through DK are guaranteed to pass down 5. This means one batch of eggs is extremely likely to result in the IVs you want and more.

>>14801423 1st phrase, if he says "outstanding" then you have a lot of good stats. The last phrase he says, if he mentions "they simply can't be beat" then that means whatever stats he mentioned have max IV's.
To know if you have multiple max iv's, he'll say "and X is just as good too" after the main stat he says has potential(middle phrases).

Holy shit, man. Thanks for compiling this. I know it's not /that/ hard overall, but the task seems daunting when you have to track down the info and figure it all out when this is the first time playing since gen II.

So what's easier if you want to masuda method while having nice stats overall? To trade for foreign ditto's that came from safari to mix with your perfect nature poke so you have 4+ max stats Or, to breed dittos from you own game until they have 5 max stats, several natures you want, then just trade for each different foreign poke you plan to breed? I'm new to this stuff :x Excellent guide btw OP

So is there literally no excuse for having a perfect iv trained team? I have a superior potential starmie but it is not above superior potential or whatever. It's speed and Sp.attack is maxed and it says his defense is the lowest. Should I aim for max?

Random battles will 90% of the time be against shitters, so just have w/e.
But high level play against anons here or smogon or whatever will require this or you're at a disadvantage.
Just remember that the difference would be between 0-31 stat points [15 on average, let's say] so it's only a big deal in high level play where every stat makes a difference.

Base stats on Bulbapedia refer to what the stat would be at 50 with no other modifiers, correct?

That Starmie is fine but it's a shame, you could easily just re-breed it a dozen times or so and get to transfer its speed and sp.atk and maybe get yourself some nice max hp and decent or even maxed def in there.

Protip: by using destiny knot on a mon and a power item on the other you will pass only the IVs of a single parent plus 1 IV from the other parent insteand of the IV of both parents, making it easier to create perfect mons but the nature is random.

Ive got all the IV's at 31 now im just breeding to get them all on an Adamant Scyther. Its so goddamn gratifying though.

So if i get a ditto with perfect ivs and another parent with one perfect and give the ditto the knot and the other a power item, i will get perfect iv offspring?

Question, if you have a Ditto with perfect IV's from gen 5 once that pokebank shit comes online and move it over whoever you breed it with will only have 5 of his IV's right? So it's impossible to breed a 100% perfectly maxed out in all stats mon.

How important are IV's in the long run? EV training is actually kind of fun, but this IV shit seems a bit of a hassle.

If it's a mirror match, it will matter. Two identical Pokemon, but one with slightly better IVs might outspeed the other.
Otherwise, if you have perfect EVs, proper nature, and ability, you probably won't notice a difference that often.

if you're new to ivs, start out small. breed a sweeper, like a greninja. aim for a timid nature and perfect IVs in special attack and speed. and from there, next time you breed something aim for perfect IVs in hp, speed and an offensive stat .

So if you had a pokemon with perfect IVs all around, would the IV checker say something along the lines of: "I would say that its greatest potential lies in its special defense stat" "hmm and its defense stat is good, too" "hmm and its attack stat is good, too" "hmm and its special attack stat is good, too" "hmm and its speed stat is good, too" "hmm and its HP stat is good, too" "Stats like those... they simply can't be beat" Basically, would he list every single one out like that?

I gave him, the power item to pass on speed, and the ditto the destiny knot. The ditto had perfect, SpA, Hp, and Def.
The abra would always pass on the speed, making it so the game would not roll speed from either parents, which means it would roll the other 5 stats, and since the abra and ditto both shared perfect SpA, they would always pass on perfect SpA, and Speed. And then roll the things they didn't have in common.

Need some help with my breeding setup: This is what's in the daycare>Male Gastly - Timid with Disable holding an everstone to pass down nature 31 Speed 31 HP 31 Special Attack 31 Defense>Japanese Ditto holding a destiny knot to allow offspring to choose 5 IV's from the parents 31 HP 31 Special Defense I'm looking to maximise my chances of getting good IV's on a shiny timid gastly with disable, I don't care about attack because it will be a special attacker. Is there any way I can improve this setup? I have been trying to trade on the GTS for a Japanese ditto with better stats than just 31 HP and Special Defense but after like 100 trades I haven't found anything better.

>>14824798 Yes, find a Ditto with 31 IVs in sp atk and speed instead of HP and sp def

I mean, ideally it will pull 3 stats from the gastly (Speed / Special Attack / Defense) and 2 from the ditto (HP / Special D) or it could ignore the HP on the ditto and grab it from the gastly, vice versa.

Let's say your ghastly with good IVs is male, but wrong nature has all max IVs except attack, and the ditto you are breeding with has max SpA, and Speed. If those two breeding create, a female ghastly with maxed, SpA, Speed, and HP and is of the right nature (it will be if the ditto is holding the everstone). You can replace the ditto with the female ghastly, just make sure to give her the everstone.

So I've been leveling up a Garchomp and Tangrowth for a team and I just saw that Outrage and Leech seed are egg moves for them. I'm pretty annoyed at myself for not noticing that. I really wanted those two moves on them. I figure I can use Dragon Claw on Garchomp instead, and Toxic or Sludge Bomb on Tangrowth, until at least I breed a new Garchomp and replace Tangrowth (I actually want a Slowbro instead of a Tangrowth, but I didn't know how to get a hidden ability slowpoke this gen). Is this acceptable for a newbie? Or should I just rebreed immediately.

If a pokemon could learn a tm move in a previous generation, but the move is no longer a tm in x/y, can the move be bred into said pokemon?

>>14828596 >>14828670 yes, ability gets passed down regardless of parent. DW ability, though, idk. apparently it's serebii confirmed but you can still try

Is there a significant increase in odds that an offspring will inherit a Hidden Ability if both parents have it? Been trying to find a good-natured Male Protean Frogadier, but not sure if its a waste of time or not.

>>14826594 As the pokemon levels up in the daycare the daycare AI will overwrite moves for new ones that the pokemon would learn naturally. It's very annoying and means many trips to the move deleter/leveling up the poke with the desired moves to a level where it won't constantly be getting new moves.

Getting into breeding right now. I have a Charmander (M) with perfect Speed and Special Defense holding a Power Anklet. I also have a Charmander (F) with perfect Speical Defense holding a Power Band to ensure the 31 Special Defense IVs are passed. However, I'm noticing that very few Charmanders that I'm hatching have perfect Speed and Special Defense stats as well. Anyone know why this is? They'll be fine for one stat or the other, but only a few have been both.

So I have a Ditto@Destiny Knot with 3 stats maxed that I'm breeding for a Ferroseed Will I eventually get a Ferroseed with the 3 maxed stats that the Ditto has? On my 9th right now, so far have only been getting 2 maxed stats

>>14829359 Yeah. To better your chances use the Ferroseed with two maxed stats if you're not already.

Do any new pokemon this gen learn decent egg moves? I've been experimenting with a few so far and what I've seen from that and elsewhere makes it look like Tyrunt is the only one that gets anything really worthwhile. Binacle can't get Curse, Head Smash or Recover, but he might still get Ingrain from Cradily or Aqua Jet from Kabutops. Helioptile has gotten nothing but Glare from all the moves I've tried, which include Hyper Voice, Heat Wave, Dragon Pulse, Boomburst, Tri-Attack, and Earth Power, and at this point I'm just hoping it can inherit Wide Guard come December. Inkay can't even inherit Octazooka or Gunk Shot.

How do pass hidden abilities this gen? Does it need to be the mother who has it, like gen 5?

Does it gimp a pokemon EV wise or any way if you level it in the daycare? I am using a top tier pokemon at the moment to breed but not sure if I should be doing this.

>>14832671 nope. only possible down side to it might be your attacks being overriden, but you can always recover them in the relearner

Okay seriously though. I put a male w/ hidden ability and a female with nature i need and it's taking forever. Sure it can be passed, or will I have to do more breeding shenanigans with dittos?
