- always check your wondertrade finds with the IV checker, especially if they are level one.
- In the same vein, check if it has it's hidden ability, egg moves, or a desirable nature as these are extremely useful for future breeding.
- If you are going to wondertrade anything, first check it's info in the summary page, if it was born in a daycare center, chances are it's probably worth keeping.
- Friend safari pokemon will always have 2 perfect IVs, the chances for a 3 iv are 1/~9, 4iv are 1/~86, 5iv are 1/~1365, and 6 iv are 1/~43690
- Using sweet scent outside of battle will always attract a horde battle unless it's raining
- If it's raining on your EV training route, fly to another route. If it's raining there, fly back again.
- Oval charm is obtained by seeing (NOT capturing) all pokemon in the 3 kalos regions. (legendary trio birds not included). It's increases egg production rate at the day care by roughly 25%
- Oval charm, same species, and foreign pokemon all reportedly increase egg production rate.
- 4000 steps on your 3ds pedometer (only works while ds is closed in sleep mode) will increase the rate of O-Power replenishment by 4x. This resets daily at 12 am.
- Shiny rates have been doubled this gen, and both hordes and friend safari reportedly have higher shiny rates
