Ultra Ball; its a perfect fit for it.
So that being said, offspring will pass hack checks? What is considered 'obvious' stuff? I mean, if I'm going to rebreed the Pokemon that are already EV trained and nature bred, I'm obviously going to be doing this as conveniently as possible (i.e. hacked Ditto) seeing as the originals weren't hacks themselves. Also, what exactly is Destiny Knot? The TM? Or is it a new item?
Destiny bond is the move, destiny knot is a new item (you tube can show you how to find it -Sea Mawile after repeated battles I think) it will pass on 5ivs randomly from either parents (not just the parent that is holding it) therefore if you have a ditto 6iv and a flawless parent you'll have a 1/6 chance of getting your 5iv offspring (other parent will be holding everstone to pass nature)
Anyone have a Flawless Ditto they can trade me?
I can give you one :)

It's Seed Flare time.
It's ok, I am already doing a SR for someone else and I don't have much time for it as it is :P 2 projects would be too much
Destiny Knot is that old item that inflicted the Attract status on a Pokemon if its holder got hit with it, but it gained this actually useful effect in this generation. You can acquire it a few ways in X and Y, or from a rematch battle with the Young Couple on the Sea Mauville in OR/AS. (save before you rebattle them so you can soft reset if you don't get it from them)
Obvious stuff would be like 6IV shiny Pokemon, Pokemon in balls that they can't legally be caught in, (like Heavy Ball Tyrunt) etc. Stuff that would pretty quickly seem suspicious. Some things to consider are that male and female Pokemon can pass egg moves down, (and still pass them down until taken out of the Day-Care, even if they've forgotten them while in there) and males have a small chance of passing their Hidden Ability down to the offspring if they're breeding with a Ditto.
You are getting a little mixed up there. A female with its HA has a 50% chance (I think) of passing down its ability when bred with any pokemon in its egg group. A HA male can only pass down it's ability when bred with a ditto and I believe it only has a 20% change of doing so.
Are you sure? Because I remember the rules being different from gen V to gen VI, but honestly I don't know. Well, assuming you're right, does anyone have a female jolly HA mienfoo? :)
Just in case people are unaware:
"The Jirachi event is now available on Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games. This event is available through Mystery Gift > Receive Gift > Get Via Internet and gives you the Mythical Pokémon Jirachi, which can't be found in the wild. This event is only running through to April 24th so get while you can."

Yes, I'm sure. I think they were different in 5th gen because back then only males could have the hidden ability through the dream radar? Though I could be wrong as I never used it. I'd offer to catch you one but just checked and I don't have any mienfoo in any of my friend safaris sorry.

female is generally superiror over male now in 6th gen .
Since you can pass down HA, egg move and BALL with a female .
you don't need a ditto ~

Hm...I see. Well that clears my confusion up, thank you :)
But, can a female pass HA while not breeding with ditto?
Yeah, toss IMO.
How about a 3rd? Close but not quite, even if the X is 31(defenses are never x's, even on Deoxys that you want to be attack form.)
Lol been SRing for literally 5 minutes and got this.
29/17/31/31/31/31 Modest Jirachi.
Yes, this might seem like it's a no-brainer keep but I am kinda having doubts. Is Modest Jirachi seen as viable? Seems like the Special defensively and scarfed sets are the ones with any use at the moment. And while this seems petty, that 29 HP IV seems not good... lol
So, citizens of the SQR thread... keep or no keep?

I say Keep; it could work with a surprise LO set or something; its a shame that it doesn't have HP Ground though.
Life orb number with good stats and good nature seems like a keep. Although I could understand why you would toss. Keep in mind though if you toss you have to get something better than that or you should try to. What you got is already pretty impressive in my book lol.
Not convinced about the imperfect speed... Might want to wait for another opinion, but toss in my book
