Topic: X/Y Breeding successes/trading stand!

[Richard and Blaziken]

Not really breeds, but I managed to trade some of my breeds to another guy for these lovelies:

31/31/31x/31/31 Adamant Intimidate Mawile (F) w/ Fire Fang & Ice Fang Egg
31/x/31/31/31/31 Bold Regenerator Slowbro (M)
31/31/31/x/31/31 Adamant Techician Scyther (M)
31/31/31/x/31/0 Relaxed Iron Thorns Ferroseed (M) w/ Spikes, Stealth Rock, Leech Seed
31/31/31/31/31/31 Adamant Blaze Charmander (M) w/ Dragon Dance, Outrage

I may well breed these for other folks in the future, but not for right now, as I'm completely swamped irl, and I still have yet to train any of these myself, but I thought it would be good to keep it noted, and feel free to shoot me trade offers for offspring, but again, it could be a long wait.

For the most part I really don't have much.  I have more been preparing to breed right now (I have a perfect IV'd Ditto in White that I want to transfer over before I seriously get involved with breeding)

I do have Protean Froakies and Gale Force Fletchlings so if anyone also has some reject Hidden Ability Pokemon that's all I really would need.  Just PM me I guess because I'll probably not remember to look here.

Ended up with some lovelies for my team. :3
Adamant Scizor, 31/31/31/31/x/31 - would have preferred SpA and SpD to be swapped, but oh well. >.>
Naive Trapinch, 31/31/31/31/x/31... which suits me perfectly fine.
Also ended up with a Venonat with 31/x/31/31/31/31, so I could always breed that down onto a Timid one.
Currently aiming for a 31/31/31/x/31/31 Drapion. Wish me luck.

I've got plenty of Venonats, Scythers and Trapinches with 4 IVs if anyone wants any - I'm pretty sure I've got a Naive Trapinch with 31/31/31/x/31/31 if anyone wants it? I'm running Draco Meteor and Fire Blast on mine so the SpA IV is more important than the SpD.

Modest clefable with everything perfect except attack, and has magic guard. It's also male, which I didn't even know was possible...

[SaRo|Rapidash]

^I don't suppose you have a spare magic guard Clefable do you? Honestly not that bothered with IVs or nature - just the ability.

I can offer you a
-> 31/31/31/?/31/31 Adamant Igglybuff
-> ?/31/31/31/31/31 Adamant Gible
Or 31/31/?/31/31/31 Quiet Mareep

[Xagor]

Got lots of different Honedges lying around now.

Also trying to get some 5V Inkay (and if I'm lucky Shiny too) thanks to the JPN 4V one from Wonder Trade, so will probably have some Jolly ones leftover.

Having to start releasing things due to running out of boxes...

[SaRo|Rapidash]

I have a 31/x/31/31/31/31 modest male Grumpig! I've EV trained it now too.

Although I have noticed all the pokemon I like tend to be crap in competitive xD

[Danse Macabre ( 6,6)]

Wow, I have a few Pokémon with 3 max IVs (Abra:Modest 31 SpAtk/31 Spd/31 HP, Ghastly:Timid 31 SpAtk/31 Spd/31 HP, Gible:Adamant 31 Atk/31 Spd/31 HP), but so many people have 5 maxed out IVs... I don't stand a chance!

Other than friend Safari, is there any key that I'm missing or is it just the good old hard slog that we used to put in back in /RS/E days?

[Richard and Blaziken]

Destiny Knot passes 5 IVs between the parents, so if you have two parents with 4-5 IVs, it's not too difficult to get 5 IV offspring.

Hey Rich, been a while!

Ah, right, I knew about Destiny Knot (using it at moment) but I'm currently using natured Dittos with Everstone for half my breeding pair.

Would you suggest trying to IV'd get Dittos from Friend Safari or breeding 2/3 IVs into a female pokemon with the nature I want & then any Friend Safari'd male? I don't get huge amounts of time so really the quickest option would be the best for me. :3

[Mew King]

Both would work.  The question is do you have people with Ditto in their Friend Safari.  I only have one (an Imposter Ditto I got from a Wonder Trade.  It provides Max Defense, Max Speed, and Modest Nature if I need it).  I've been using just the latter with the Friend Safari Males.  I would say it takes roughly 2-3 hours to get a perfect Pokemon that way.  I can normally get it in 2-3 train rides

[Webby]

I just breed down IVs from smaller numbers creeping up. So I start with a pair of 2IV Pokémon, and replace the parents with offspring with either higher IVs or the desired nature. Then I continue breeding, and replace those offspring with their own offspring with higher IVs still, and continue that pattern until l achieve a Pokémon that fits my needs.

I tend to lose patience when I get to 4IVs, particularly when I bred Togekiss (12.5% chance of getting females and needing to evolve Togepi before breeding down their IVs), but I've ended up with 2 5IV Venonats, a 5IV Scizor and a 5IV Flygon. And then a 4IV Drapion and a 4IV Togekiss. I can always rebreed to get better IVs in the future, but I'll only be playing casually so it doesn't affect me much.

Cheers, I knew theoretically how to do it, but because I'm fairly behind I just wasn't putting the time in. I really should work on getting that Oval Stone to speed things up - think waiting for eggs is what's REALLY making things tedious!

Just slightly off topic, can I check, the max EVs you can add to a stat has been adjusted to 252 for Gen VI right? So I can supertrain a stat all I like without worrying about over doing it?

31/31/31/31/31/31 - Adamant Charmander @ Solar Power
31/31/31/31/31/31 - Modest Charmander @ Solar Power
31/31/31/31/31/31 - Naughty Charmander @ Solar Power
31/31/31/x/31/31 - Jolly Gible @ Rough Skin
31/x/x/31/31/31 - Modest Goomy @ Sap Sipper

Currently looking for fathers to breed with my 31/x/x/31/31/x Torchic @ Speed Boost, but no luck so far. What I really need is a male field group or ditto group with 31 in Atk, Def, and Speed to make the ultimate Speed Boost Blaziken.

If anyone has access to either a 31 Atk/Def/Speed Field Pokemon or a female Speed Boost Torchic with more 31s than mine has and is willing to trade hit me up, yo!

[SaRo|Rapidash]

^I have a 31/31/31/31/?/31 Male spoink, if you want?
