Finally managed to (legitimately) breed my first flawless pokemon, a 31/31/31/20/31/31 Growlithe, Adamant and Intimidate, in the third batch of eggs going for Masuda method. Definitely makes up for the 31/31/31/31/31/29 female Jolly Solosis, though that was still a kick in the nuts.
super doubles has had me frustrated for weeks! ive finally finished my rain dance team consisting of scarftoed, sash moxie dd gyara, lorb kingdra and specs latios. hopefully ill acquire the doubles trophy on my next run.
wifi battles are addicting (b/w has me interested in the whole wifi scene in general). disconnections are a huge turn-off but nonetheless, it benefits both users who are keen to strengthen their ranking. i do wonder if ongoing complaints will have an effect on the current system for the future.

Whoa, Smogon's working again? First time in a week... Sweet. Anyway, I just managed to breed a Pawniard, great IVs across the board... MODEST NATURE. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
I have a DW Taillow with 31 ATK and 28 SPE IVs. And Adamant.
Now if only this bastard had Guts instead...

Hatched a Modest Deino, 29/31/20/31/29/31.
Goddammit, stop trolling me Trollfreak. That defense IV hurts me. Hell, swap the Attack and Defense IV and I'd be happy. So, keep or rebreed?

I'd keep it, if anything its great breeding fodder.
Also, my newest Rock Blast Shellder:
30/31/21/15/31/31
Not perfect, but slowly getting there. This one can't Hydro Pump tho, its Adamant to boot.

Honestly, I don't understand why even with the knowledge of how the mechanics of the game have been abused to create perfect pokemon in earlier generations they haven't improved breeding so people don't have to resort to abuse to create competative pokemon.
Personally I'd prefer not using RNG but if I want to be competative it seems like I won't have a choice. Even with 2 perfect parents and an everstone on one of them the chances of breeding a pokemon with 6 perfect IVs and the right nature and ability are only 1 in 131072 (32*32*32*2*2). With anything less then perfect parents that chance goes even further down.
That said, for now I enjoy breeding good pokemon. I have so far gotten myself an adamant sandile with pursuit and 31/31/31/x/22/31, a jolly zubat with brave bird and 31/31/24/x/23/31 and a modest lucario with vacuum punch and 31/x/28/31/26/31 which I'm pretty happy with (although I found out too late that I couldn't get roost on my zubat >.<).
This misconception is rather incorrect. Through breeding, a power item, and an everstone, you can guarantee a nature 50% of the time and one perfect IV on every egg. Breeding wisely means that you can get something usable within 50 eggs at most, and the IV Judge at the Battle Subway can be useful for checking for perfect IVs, saving some time. It no longer takes forever to breed up something competitively viable.
It's not really a misconception, I just have a different view on what I concider a competative pokemon. The difference between 25 and 31 in IVs or the difference between having the right hidden power, especially when that's the case for every pokemon on a team, is pretty significant in my opinion.
So, I think I managed to find the best trade ever on the GTS. Managed to find a Jolly, 31/31/24/x/24/31 female Gible (with Outrage) for...a Patrat. Seriously.
I also concur that breeding is really not that bad. If you're going for flawless pokemon, or a specific Hidden Power, then I suppose it's a bit torturous. Certain pokemon can be more of a pain than other for sure (*cough* DW Nidoking), but I've been able to breed most of my pokemon so far within a few hours. I actually managed to get a 31/31/30/x/24/17 Guts Adamant Timburr on the THIRD egg, a couple days ago. Absurdly lucky, sure, but overall breeding's been fairly pleasant this generation , especially with the judge.

By UT, do you mean untrained? Because it's level 1 (and the judge agrees anyway).
UT means untouched.

My experience has been that female DW Pokemon are less common than Male ones, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them rare (looks to be about a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio). If you've encountered more females than males you are almost certainly pretty lucky.
@GT: Server upgrade, or so I've heard.
Is there really a significant difference between 25 and 31IVs? How much more damage will you take if suppose you have a 20IV in defense as opposed to 31 for Larvesta?
Because I've just settled for 20/x/20/31/31/31.
if you don't care about hidden power, Morning Sun, or substitute, that set is perfect; the missing ivs are negligible unless you can find some specific attack that will KO it much more often than with the ivs.
remember to run 4 HP in lvl 100 so you can switch into SR 3 times and so that sandstorm takes 17 hits to ko.

Does how well you do in minigames determine their gender? I just aced 5 mini-games and got 5 female Pokemon today so I'm starting to wonder if thats why I mostly get chicks.
I think like this:
female=ace
male+egg move=medium
male=terribad
I've yet to get a single Giga Drain Exeggcute after 3 encounters lol
Sadly, I've found that wining Pokemon mini-games is a completely ineffective way of getting chicks.
Ah that would make sense.
So far I got a female Lickitung which I'm training as a Lickilicky now and a female Tangela which I finished EV training and turned into a Tangrowth.
And a Shinx and Bidoof, but I kinda like their non DW abilities a lot better.
I'm just waiting to unlock the next area the explore. But its soooo far away. Its like another 1000 points to go before I get it. Anyone know how points accumulate? I theorized that trading with other people via Share Shelf gave points.
