>>28442385This would be how you do it, yeah. Or you can get a 6 IV Ditto. People will hook you up. If you find the idea of a cloned Ditto unsavory, wait for SM where Hyper Training will hopefully let us make as many Ditto as we want.
>>28442518Normally I would agree that IVs are a bit overblown, but in an age where it is so easy to get a 5 IV Pokemon, there is no reason not to. At the very least, go to a trading thread on /vp/ or subreddit or something and just ask around for breeding leftovers. So long as you're polite breeders are usually happy to share the goods, and 4 IV Pokemon are ALMOST just as good as a 5 IV and can help you get started either in battle or as a jump-start for your breeding.
Stick with 252/252/4 spreads for now. It is just easier and the real min-maxing doesn't really help until you know what you are doing enough to take advantage of it.
>>28443049You can google "Nugget Bridge Cores" or "Smogon Cores" and find tons of ideas to get you started towards this end. As a beginner, I highly recommend using other people's sets as a starting point- kind of like training wheels on a bicycle.
Eventually you'll know enough about the game to just do it all mostly on your own, but even VGC Worlds people are building teams together and bouncing ideas off one another.
