Happy to help. Actually, if you wanna add me and send me a trade request, I have a TON of 5-IV spitback Froakies taking up space in my box, I could certainly just give you one.
will do! thanks a ton
There is no such thing as a 31/31/31/x/31/31/31 or x/31/x/31/x/31/x Pokemon, so the odds are 0.000% because it is impossible. ;)
Assuming this was a typo, however, you can find all your breeding probabilities using this calculator.
Oh wow, sorry, I meant like 31 in HP, Defense, Attack, Special Defense, and Speed breeding with a 31 in HP, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed.
This source would disagree with your figures: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/67601379
I'm not fresh enough on my statistics to confirm myself.

The OP has incorrect figures, as is Gamefaqs. See my sig for a link to the full correct figures.

Yeah, been having the same problem as well. Since 5 out of the 6 stats will be passed down via the Destiny Knot (and since you have everything except Attack perfect and identical between the two parents), then you have a 1/6 chance of NOT passing down the Attack Stat and getting 31/x/31/31/31/31 children. It's harder when breeding Genderless Pokemon, especially if you only have a 3 IV ditto.

Near as I can tell it is. Its brilliant work too.
Question:
I have a flawless calm male hydration goomy and a 5iv calm female (imperfect spa), and im aiming for a flawless gooey goomy. What items should the parents get? I know destiny knot should be for the male, but should the female get power item for spa or everstone?
Thanks for any answers

Everstone if you want the offspring to have Calm nature.

Everstone and Destiny Knot. In your case it doesnt matter which parent holds which, but in general Everstone goes to the parent with the desired nature (gender doesnt matter)

Okay. I'm trying to get a charmander with Dragon dance, outrage, crunch, and belly drum. I checked serebii so I know these are all egg moves. The female has dragon dance and outrage, and I have a male snorlax with belly drum and crunch. I put them in the daycare together, but the baby only had belly drum and crunch. How do I make it so the baby gets all 4 of the egg moves?
I don't believe females pass 100% of the time. Keep on trying and I think it should work eventually.

Normally I would believe you, because what I read in this thread is accurate for the most part. However, I've hatched at least 10 eggs and none of the offspring had the females moves. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Try breeding one of the male charmander with belly drum and crunch with the female having DD and outrage. Maybe only males pass egg moves when they are different species...? Both should pass egg moves when they are the same species, that has already been established.
What are all four of Charmander's moves?

Scratch, growl, crunch, and belly drum
Did you remove the Charmander from the Day Care at any point and put it back in? It is possible that the egg moves were overwritten before you started breeding. If that is the case, you need to relearn them and put it back in the Day Care.

Stupid breeders deleted the egg moves. I will have to reteach them to the female. Is there a way to avoid this in the future?

Don't withdraw your parents from the breeder unless necessary. Also if your parents do forget their egg moves, the move relearner should be able to re-teach them.

I have made a couple interesting discoveries when it comes to hatching:
1.Magikarp's egg cycles appear to be shorter than what Bulbapedia lists (without Flame Body I hatched eggs at 1159 steps, w/ flame body 579 and 671 steps, Bulbapedia lists a minimum 1530 steps). Bulbapedia lists egg cycles by approximately one too many cycles, I think.
2. Flame Body / Magma Armor Pokemon no longer need to be at the front of the party to speed up hatching.
*edit* some further research seems to indicate:
3. Egg cycles work more or less the same way as previous generation games. 255 steps decreases the egg counter by 1 to every egg in your party (256 seems to contradict my research).
4. Flame Body doubles the number of egg cycles that are incremented per 255 steps from 1 to 2.
5. The O-Powers seem to straight up decreases the number of steps needed to increment the egg counter. I'm guessing level 3 decreases it to 128, level 2 to 170, and level 1 to 204.
6. The step counter does not appear to reset when an egg is spawned, hatched, or when you acquire an egg, but further research is needed. This means when you acquire an egg it is possible to start with your step counter anywhere between 0 and 254. Which is why you can hatch multiple Pokemon at the same time.
Which means that with a level 3 O-Power and Flame Body, you increment 2 egg cycles every 128 steps; a long-hatch Pokemon like Chansey can be hatched in 2550 steps., whereas Magikarp can be hatched in as few as 384 steps, assuming you start with your step counter at zero.
