Hidden Power Fire or Ground?

Depends.

How vulnerable is your team to Scizor, Ferrothorn, and other Grass-types? If it's a lot and you already have satisfactory damage-dealing moves for dealing with Electric- and Poison-types, run Fire.

If you're not worried too much about the above Pokemon, then run Ground.

I'm assuming Ground for opposing steel types and especially Heatran?

It took me hours upon hours of resets to get HP fire, you will see dark like a million times, steel, psychic and water. Occasionally bug, grass, electric, rock and ground. But FIRE? That shit is like finding a shiny almost. I never once saw fighting, not that you need that.

Fighting is actually impossible from gift pokémon with 3 perfect IV's and is explicitly banned in that way from VGC

I was starting to wonder if that was the case for Fire, this is the first time Ive reset for an event to get HP fire but I figured I like this pokemon enough to do it.

Out of curiosity, are the 3 IVs that get locked at 31 actually related to the PID? Or have PIDs for gift pokemon not actually matched IVs for a while now?

No, just an extra coverage option to kill either Ground or Fire. It gets Focus Blast or Aura Sphere IIRC.

Fuck resetting for hp fire then, I'll keep this one.

Timid happens to work for the Gear Shift set I'm building for it. It's not bad. I got it to work on a few Showdown runs. If it turns out to be bad I can just run another version of it on my Showdown team where I do most of my competitive battling.

Why would use a golden bottle cap, when you could just regular caps since 3IVs are already confirmed. Seems like a waste of a golden cap.

Golden caps should be used on shinies that have little to no perfects.

A chain of 30 at the battle tree is a guaranteed bottle cap. As is buying from a 2* treasure hunt for the first time.

There's ways to get them without relying on rng.

By that logic, Bottle Caps are the only logical usable items and Golden Bottle Caps are like Apricorn Balls.

You can get them all the time if you work on festival plaza. Even then, its not hard to get someone to send a mon with one attached in an ekx. Unless you're yunno, youre too neurotic and pedantic about legitimacy and dont want to take an item that solely flags IVs as max with no trace of a hack.

Modest

Mild or Timid are also fine but Modest is ideal
