Guys, I'm trying to breed my first ever pokemon. A Snorunt, which I will evolve into Froslass. I basically understand how to breed it to get perfect IVs but what I'm less clear on is how do I make sure my end result Froslass will have Cursed Body?

Then keep breeding up IVs, while discarding (Or wondertrading) any snorunt without Moody. Eventually you'll get yourself a level 1 snorunt with moody, and 5/6 max IVs. If you intend to do egg moves or a preferred ball (I try to breed all my 'mons in luxury balls) don't forget to get started with that in the beginning, so it trickles down to everything.

The father Scyther in the daycare is Adamant and has perfect HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed. The female I just hatched has perfect HP, Attack, SpDef, and Speed. Is there an optimal way for me to get everything but the missing SpAtk IV onto their offspring while passing on Adamant from the father at the same time? I have no idea how Everstone, Destiny Knot, and the Power items overlap.

But Everstone and Knot work well together. I would suggest you use the Knot on the mom, and the Everstone on the dad for nature. Then just keep hatching until you get what you're looking for. Trade some of the leftovers for other pokemon you might need or want to breed.

>>15456516 Excellent, that means I have just about everything I need for breeding Scythers and Mawiles with 5 IVs and accurate natures.
...then it's just a matter of getting IVs on Joltik and Snorunt without Wonder Trade doing all the prep work for me. Hue hue

>>15455401 Please don't forget to give her spikes.
Froslass 101.
Forretress with dwibble to put spikes on male dwibble. Dwibble with female snorunt to put spikes on snorunt. Snorunt with timid ditto or male timid mineral/amorphus egg group pokemon to make Timid Spikes Snorunt. Preferably male.
Catch a Moody Female Snorunt in friend safari. This might take a minute, but catch any duds you find as this speeds up the breeding process a ton. Appraise and mark all of them for IV's.
Breed Timid Spikes Snorunt with Moody Female Snorunt to make Timid Moody Spikes Snorunt. This is your base pokemon. Appraise this one and mark it up. Now find a male snorunt or ditto with IV's that don't overlap with hers and breed.
The second you get a 3IV+ moody one, switch it out for the appropriate sex and keep moving along. Do this until you've got one with 31/x/31/31/31/31 Timid Moody Female.

>>15456894 Thanks for the rundown on that! That helps quite a lot.
I was about to give up on getting Spikes on her because I wasn't seeing how to do it.

>>15456894 As a person who is also interested in Froslass for his team, where d'you get Forretress and Dwibble from? Can you catch them or are they friend safari?
