Yes, you are getting unlucky. The chance of the attack IV is still only a ~17% chance, which actually correlates very closely with your results.
Oh, right. I'll just sit here on my head and continue to do my math upside-down :PYes, you are getting unlucky. The chance of the attack IV is still only a ~17% chance, which actually correlates very closely with your results.
You should expect about 3 eggsSo I'm a bit confused about my breeding, perhaps someone can clear this up for me. I have two parents, both Modest Noibats with IVs checked at 31/x/31/31/31/31. One is holding a Destiny Knot, the other an Everstone. Out of the past 20 child Pokemon, only two or three have been 31/x/31/31/31/31. If Destiny Knot is passing down 5 IVs, am I just getting REALLY unlucky and having it pass down the Attack IV 90% of the time?
This is very close to the results I got from breeding Ralts. When using a synchro mother to breed with my flawless chimecho almost every egg was a synchro before I noticed I had put the wrong ralts in the daycare. When I switched to a decent female trace ralts the results came back the same, the mother's ability was almost always passed on.The mother has 80% chance to pass on her ability. That's how it was in Gen V anyhows.
As said above your results coincide with the chances of passing on that certain stat spread. With a 6/6 Chimecho and a 31/xx/31/31/31/31 timid trace ralts I've only made about 4 or 5 timid trace ralts with the mother's stat spread, 1 timid synchro ralts with the mother's stat spread (and 0 females with the mother's stat spread) out of 34 5/6 flawless hatched ralts from that pairing. I've also gotten several eggs from 5/6 parents that were 4/6 or (rarely) 3/6. It does seem as if the 5 "guaranteed" stats are just rolls like they are normally. Meaning the same stat can be passed on multiple times through overwriting the previous result.So I'm a bit confused about my breeding, perhaps someone can clear this up for me.

Are you sure your Chimecho and Ralts have those correct IVs or that the baby truly had 3/6? I've done this with hundreds of eggs already and every single breed I've been able to trace back fowl IV'd babies to a corresponding parent's IV and the newly generated IV being in the wrong place, never two newly spawned bad IVs.As said above your results coincide with the chances of passing one that certain stat spread.

I think with the starters, it's best to hold out until you have a decent potential parent catalog and a solid friend safari capture to work as an initial mother. Cute Charm leads should ease the pain of finding a mother slightly. You can do it with brute force and dedication too, I guess. My example is made up, but I really did breed a flawless Charmander. Started with a flawed x/x/x/x/x/x Male Charizard and a x/x/31/31/x/x Ditto... ouch.Has anyone else found a relatively good strategy for breeding the high male ratio pokemon like starters?
The Chimecho I can guarantee is flawless and was a rather easy one to breed, the mother may have been less than 5/6 as I do frequently switch out parents when a better one hatches, and several hours of mindless pedaling can lead to mistakes. I can always double check the mother and attempt this again to confirm. Unless you are talking about the second part of that paragraph with two 5/6 parents (Not the flawless Chimecho/near flawless ralts from the first sentence) sometimes producing 4/6 and 3/6 offspring. That one I am fairly certain of but can also re-test.Are you sure your Chimecho and Ralts have those correct IVs or that the baby truly had 3/6?

Wow, I misinterpretted that horribly. I thought you meant you were getting 3/6 babies with 6/6 and 5/6 parents.

Yes, he will say something similar to this:Amazing guide.
When using the IV judge, if you have 5 perfect IV's will he list them all?
The chance should be 5/12 (12 possible IVs and Destiny Knot passes down 5). The chance is the same regardless of who is holding the Destiny Knot.If I have, say a Timid Fennekin with Everstone and 0 HP IV's, and a non-Timid Fennekin with Destiny Knot and 31 HP IV's, what is the chance of me getting 31 HP IV's on the baby?
Also, is the chance any different if you give the Destiny Knot Fennekin 0 HP IV's, and the non-Destiny Knot Fennekin 31 HP IV's?
Thank you very much! I like how you joined Smogon on my birthday :]The chance should be 5/12 (12 possible IVs and Destiny Knot passes down 5). The chance is the same regardless of who is holding the Destiny Knot.
Two reports about something I was unsure about myself sounds good enough. Thank you for your input!Correction: The hidden ability is not passed if you breed a male with the hidden ability with a female without the hidden ability. I tried breeding my event speed boost Blaziken with an almost flawless female torchic, and to my utter despair, none of the 15 or so babies had the hidden ability. However, when I bred the Blaziken with Ditto, more than half of the babies had Speed Boost. You should update the OP with this.
EDIT: I have no proof because I released all the blaze Torchics, but I'm really not trolling anyone when I say this. If you have experienced otherwise, please let me know.
Somewhere along the line, you need to pair your Magikarp with a parent that has a flawless HP IV. Once you have a baby that passed down at least its HP and Speed Iv, you can go back to using that Ditto.I have a little problem with this.
I'm aiming for a bulky dragon dance Gyarados. So far I've bred a Magikarp with three flawless IV's. Defense, Special Defense and Spe. My Ditto has Attack, Defense and Special Defense.
Should I keep this Ditto and breed more until I got that Attack IV or should I replace that Ditto with a 31' HP and Attack Ditto?
Thanks for the reply.Somewhere along the line, you need to pair your Magikarp with a parent that has a flawless HP IV. Once you have a baby that passed down at least its HP and Speed Iv, you can go back to using that Ditto.
IF(!) We assume that the HP calculations are the same as last gen then no it's not possible with 6/6, 5/6 or 4/6 IVs.So I keep getting HP dark/dragon on my gastly's either 5/6 or 4/6 for IV's and HP type. The only one that has had a different Hidden Power had an in perfect speed IV(was HP ice). Is it possible to get HP fire with a perfect speed IV this gen? Or is it still to soon to know?
There really isn't any large difference at all. You could breed the IV in either order. The only reason I recommended getting the HP now instead of later is because I wasn't aware of any parents you had on hand and assumed what you'd be getting the HP IV from would be subpar compared to your Ditto.Thanks for the reply.
Why should I get the flawless HP first and go back to the Ditto afterwards? Could'nt I just do it with the Attack first? What's the difference in your method?
