Okay, so I really don't understand breeding anymore. I used to be really good in the D/P era, popping out 5IVs and 6IVs with ease. But now, it's pretty damn hard since I haven't been breeding and I used to use Pokegen.
So far, I've read up on this:
>nuggetbridge.com/breeding/pseudo-rng-abuse-for-eggs-in-pokemon-xy/ And understand it, but can't seem to pass on IVs as easily as I wanted to then. I managed to at least get an Adamant Bagon with 31 in attack, defense, and speed, but that's my best. :/
Oh, and my favourite mega is Mega Scizor, because his clamps remind me of Clamps from Futurama.

Like, if a ditto with 31 in HP and Attack breeding with an Eevee with 31 Defense and Sp. Def the destiny knot will not always inherit the correct IVS you want, like it could inherit only HP and Sp. Def, to begin breeding, you should (if you haven't already) find someone with a ditto safari, friend safari pokemon have 2 ivs guaranteed and just keep breeding bagon with different dittos until you get a bagon with the desired IVS
