Yes, pretty worthless. Especially since the boosted stat is imperfect.

Knew it. Darn, lets go for another 45 hours then! :)
That's a shame! But as fluke said boosted stat is poop
Not sure if you already know, but there are other methods to hatch shinies, the easiest one being TSV hatching. Unless you're specifically wanting to hatch via Shiny Charm + Masuda Method, of course.
I know, but I want my beldum to have my OT. Feels more "real" to me :) I also like the challange. I haven't beaten the E4 yet either, so I'm biking around in route 117 to hatch my eggs.
Alright. Well, good luck :')
Need a female Hippopotas with Slack Off and Whirlwind (and maybe Curse?) and an Impish Vullaby for breeding. Just need spitbacks since I have 5IV parents for both.
Wow! Got another one. 2 in a day, that's crazy :D Better IVs this time. Jolly, 29/31/31/31/31/31. Worth anything for competitive use?
for a nicknamable shiny yes that is a keeper and you'll most likely find trades for it.
Flawed IVs on a breedable Pokémon are usually a big no from a competitive point of view, nicknamable shiny or not.
Sooner or later there will be a scenario, where your Metagross will die to an attack/a combination of attacks, that a flawless Metagross could have survived.
It isn't a significant loss of staying power, but for competitive use you really want to have every single stat point that you can possibly have.
Competitive Pokémon is a game of numbers and odds. Flawed stats = more likely that you will lose the battle.
That being said... it's absolutely useable.

Good point! I wouldn't settle for a flawed one anyways. I will continue! :-)

Doesn't know how to attack
If you're not settling for a 29/31/31/31/31/31 shiny, then you ether have no sanity or you will have no sanity soon. In my opinion, that is insanely good shiny.
Nice hatch it will have some trade value here
Edit: 29 is also a good life orb number
Life Orb number. It's perfect in one way, just not flawless.
Well... Mega Metagross has no use for a Life Orb number, regular Metagross has no use for a Jolly nature and competitive battles on a cartridge are usually played at level 50, which wouldn't give you a Life Orb number anyway.
Looking for a flawless jolly mold breaker drilbur, and a calm female flawless cleffa/clefairy/clefable w/stealth rocks and wish. Offering adamant female huge power marill w/ belly drum and aqua jet flawless minus spAtk evs, modest Male battle ready Empolen flawless minus atk ivs or a timid female frisk noibat flawless minus atk ivs.
Derp, thought this was the person talking about the Bagon from earlier.

Is it too late to get an Eon Ticket? I know the code event ended. Is there any other way besides Streetpass to get an Eon Ticket? I'm asking because no one I know who plays Pokemon lives in my general area, so it would be hard for me to get one.
Not sure if homepassing still works (last time I did it was like 2-3 months ago). If you're running Windows 7 or newer you could give it a try:

I don't think that there are any other legit ways of getting it right now.
If you can wait 5 minutes I can help :)

In addition to homepass, going to a "Nintendo zone" allows you access to stored street passes from other players who have been there...best buy is one, McDonald's is one...there are others (that may be easier to get to depending on where you live) and it can definitely increase your odds. If you're in the us and you wait for the hoopa event to start at mcdonalds, you're almost guaranteed to get one
