I've been breeding Skarmory for about an hour now and can't quite seem to get the perfect spread I want and I'm getting a little tired of breeding for 5 perfect IVs. I tend to either get 31/31/31/xx/xx/31 or 31/31/31/xx/31/xx. Obviously I want speed, but considering Skarmory's SpDef isn't that great to begin with is it really worth carrying on breeding for those extra stat points? I'm fairly new to breeding and not exactly sure whether it's worth it or not.

>>16538316 Sure, you can have one if you want but that doesn't really answer my question.

As it stands OP you have a 1/24 chance of hatching a 31/31/31/x/31/31 from those parents. Keep at it.

Each IV is 31 extra points ar Lvl. 100, so yeah, it can make a difference. Do you have a 31/31/31/xx/xx/31 male (or female) and a 31/31/31/xx/31/xx feale (or male) in the daycare?

Not OP but I'm relatively new to breeding too so I'd like to ask if you should focus on breeding the IVs and then the Nature or first the Nature and then the IVs? I'm pretty bad at this shit.

>>16544807 Nature before IV's, obviously.

>>16544807 Get a female of the species you want and make sure it has the hidden ability if you need that. Breed it with a male in the same egg group/a ditto with the nature you want holding everstone. Then start breeding for IVs. Getting egg moves can came before/after/during the nature part, just do IVs last because those are the things you can't ensure will get passed down.

>>16544877 Alright
Also I just learned that you can basically breed your pokemon with family members, is this shit recommended?

>>16544777 You may. Would you happen to have a female Murkrow with Prankster and good IVs? Preferably in Atk and Speed. If not, any decent Poke will be fine.
