Porygon and Porygon2 can have either trace or download as their ability. But PorygonZ's abilities are download or adaptability. So does this mean that if my Porygon has download, it'll have download as PorygonZ, and if my Porygon has trace, it will have Adaptability as PorygonZ?

Speed: 30 - 31
 
You want the IVs to be 31, 'cause that's a perfect score.

Check IVs as soon as you obtan it, before ANY battles. Battling gives you EVs, which make the scores seem higher than they really are.
 
thanks iron thorn i've read about getting ivs to be at magical total of 31.
so the heracross stats i input on metalkids calculator say for example
speed stat 30,31 next helpful level 100, ev's for exact iv 12.
so how do i go about getting the magical 31 total for the speed ev
just battle a few pokemon that give a total of 12evs is it that simple?
would i then never battle pokemon that give speed evs ?
 
No, battling for EVS does NOT change the IV of your Pokemon. What you want to do is check the IVS before you get EVS, because by getting EVS and not inputting them on the metalkid calculator, you won't be sure if you have the right IVS or not. For more help, I suggest going into the Contributions/Corrections forum.

Also, does it matter if I have 2 mixed attackers, 3 physical, and 1 special?
