Understood. :)

Completely random question that has nothing to do it with what I was previously talking about:
Does anyone have any idea what the odds of getting a good Time Machine spread is... with your TSV (assuming MM and Shiny Charm)?
If someone decides to do the math, could you also please work out the same thing but, rather than just the one TSV, work out what the odds of getting a good spread matching one of 4 TSVs is?
Define "good spread".
These are rough calculations to give an idea of numbers ('cause lazy).
The odds that the random IV falls in one of Attack or Special Attack (assuming you're ok with 5IV spreads) is 1/3.
You have 1/512 chance of getting a shiny on your
own save (assuming MM parents and Shiny Charm).
There's an additional 3/4096 for the other three (since the Shiny Charm and MM parents don't work towards helping those saves).
So if that's "good" then
1/3 * (1/512 + 3/4096) ≈ 1 in 1120.
If you want the random IV at 31, then there's a 1/32 chance of that. Shininess stays unaffected so
1/32 * (1/512 + 3/4096) ≈ 1 in 12,000.
