Breeding Perfect Pokemon in Pokemon X&Y

That's unfortunate. Trying to breed a perfect Chansey is proving frustrating since it's Female only.

31/x/31/31/31/x Chansey + 31/x/x/x/x/31 Ditto.

I'm not feeling lucky.
Chansey is in the fairy group, meaning it can breed with Marill. Catch some (male) Azurill in the wild, they should come with three perfect IVs at least. You can always breed the Marill a few times to get a better spread first as well if you like.
 
if you have a HA Male with Normal Female it DOES NOT pass on HA.
You know, I hadn't actually experimented with the final scenario yet. If this is true and someone else can double check, I'll definitely adjust that part. Thanks for bringing that to my attention

Don't know if it has been already, but I can confirm this as well.

Also, can anyone confirm that when passing down the HA ability that your odds are better Breeding HA Male with Ditto than with HA Male and HA Female? This is what I'm experiencing (though I could just have weird luck)
 
So I just hatched a shiny Charmander (without Masuda Method). Great! It's Jolly, has DD, Outrage, and Dragon Pulse. Fantastic! But it's IV spread... it has 31/31/31/x/0/31. ZERO FUCKKIN' SP DEF?!?!? Why RNG? Why?!?!?! None of my parents have 0 Sp Def... WTF!!!!!

I think the game just trolled me pretty bad here... (T-T)
 
im really new to IV breeding anyone got any tips? also is it that much better to have a perfect pokemon over a normal fully ev trained pokemon?? also how do u check their IVs when they just hatch....?
 
Hey everyone im new to this site and have a question about a masuda hunt im currently on. So im looking for a shiny tyrunt using a jap ditto and my own tyrantrum that has all 31 iv's that I breed. I have passed over 1800 eggs which i have done in the past but this time im using a destiny knot and everstone combo, i have used a everstone before but never a destiny knot and was wondering if anyone has had success using both this gen. Just because im worried it might affect my odds of getting the shiny which is my main goal.

I'm not sure on the effect on the final stats but if you take a look at the spreads of possible values of stats on Bulbapedia for the Pokemon you'll see that it can make a reasonable difference, (though some of that will be coming from EVs of course). Also I think the Speed IVs are reasonably important for the competitive scene as the speed tiers are reasonably tight.

I'd be surprised if this affected the chance, but I can't prove it one way or another. Also the chances of a shiny (assuming the same as Gen V) is ~1/1366 so you could just as easily be unlucky. The reveal about the Destiny Knot passing down IVs actually came from Masuda as well so I'd hope that he'd have mention if it reduced the chance of shininess, since they're already pretty rare.

I don't think so.. I got my shiny Marril using both of them :P
Don't give up bro!
 
From what's been found on the battle research thread that it looks like the HP formula is actually unchanged. ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokémon-battle-mechanics-research.3489239/page-25 conversation starts from the last post on that page) There have been no reports of anyone actually getting a HP fairy. This isn't 100% confirmed, but it's looking that way.
Interesting. I just checked a couple of my 6x31 mons, and both had HP Dark like they would in gen 5.

Wow that sucks. Sorry man =/ If it upsets you so much, I'd be glad to take that poor Charmander off your hands ;)
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys im gonna keep at it :) also i produced a second tyrunt with perfect ivs should i use a male or a female as the parent for stat purposes or does it not make a difference the one chosen will be my jap dittos partner in crime.

hello if i have a frogadier with protean how can i breed him in order to get his special ability and also a timid nature from the other parent?? i dont have a ditto atm
 
Ok, IDK what's going on here. I have a Male and Female Froakie breeding pair, both have hidden ability, and I'm getting quite a few normal ability hatchlings. Many more than I should be I think. I wasn't getting this many with a Male Froakie/Ditto breeding pair. My two Froakies are holding Destiny Knot and Everstone, if that means anything. Any thoughts guys?

Don't quote me, as this is just things I've read here and there, but I do not think you can do that. Males only pass hidden abilities with ditto. The game may be choosing the male as the ability passer.

Female pokemon with hidden ability and male with normal ability should pass it down.
 
question about the Judge in Kiloude City.

Which is better, when he says that overall stats are outstanding? or if he says it is superior?
and, when he says "Incidentally, I would say that its greatest potential lies in its HP. But its Attack stat is good, too. Stats like those... They simply cant be beat! That;s how i judge it."

does this mean that both HP and Attack are on 31 now?

and is it possible to breed perfect IVs and still keeping your desired nature? or do i have to breed for IV's first then the nature?

Outstanding values mean the total IV number is larger. And "Simply can't be beat" means that stat is of Value 31.
 
Awesome. and what does Superior values mean? is superior better than outstanding?

yeah, i know that "Simply can't be beat" means the stat value is of 31. but as i stated above, he quoted that the greatest potential lies in its hp, but its attack stat is good, too, then simply cant be beat. so that means both HP and Attack are of Value 31 now, right?

- Outstanding is better
- All the stats he will mention are of those of the highest IV value, so yes, both of those are 31.
- Have the parent hold an Everstone whose nature you with to pass down.
- Assuming you have two parents with the same 5 IV's on either parent, have one of the parents hold a Destiny Knot. At the least, you would end up getting a spread like 31/??/31/31/??/31 And at the most, if you're lucky, you could end up with 31/31/31/31/31/31
 
alright. thanks for the help, im relatively new to breeding XD

anyway, im currently breeding a bisharp, and now got a pawniard with 31/31/x/x/x/31. I want this pawniard to replace my current parent. Do i have to evolve him to bisharp first before he can breed?

As long as it's the same Egg Group, which it will be of course, And it Does not say "They prefer to play with other pokemon", You will be fine.

Nope, as long as, as VaxtinTheWolf said, you don't get a weird anomaly like "They prefer to play with other Pokemon". However, evolving it should change it from "They don't like each other very much" to "They seem get along" which means eggs should be produced with a greater frequency.
 
Been lurking on these boards for years, decided to finally post..

I'm extremely OCD and I have to breed 6-IV Pokemon instead of 5-IV, which is making me miserable, but I know if I don't, it'll bug the crap out of me later knowing I have an imperfect Pokemon when I could have had a perfect one. I have around 12 6-IV Pokemon now, so things haven't been going that badly (I've been having insanely good luck).

Anyways, I have 4 scenarios that I'm curious about:

Couple A:
31/31/31/31/31/x Mommy-mon (Destiny Knot)
x/31/31/31/31/31 Daddy-mon

Couple B:
31/31/31/31/31/31 Mommy-mon (Destiny Knot)
31/31/31/31/31/31 Daddy-mon

Couple C:
31/31/31/31/31/x Mommy-mon (Destiny Knot)
x/31/31/31/31/31 Daddy-mon (Power Item)

Couple D:
31/31/31/31/31/31 Mommy-mon (Destiny Knot)
31/31/31/31/31/31 Daddy-mon (Power Item)

My question is, what is the difference in probabilities to breed a 6-IV Pokemon between Couple A, B, C and D? I don't need exact numbers (I'm still struggling with understanding the underlying math behind breeding) but is one better than the other? Is the presence of a Power Item affecting anything at all, and how do we know this?

I know you can only inherit 5-IV's with Destiny Knot and the last stat has to be re-rolled, but is it possible to have this happen?

Couple D (again):
31/31/31/31/31/31 Mommy-mon (Destiny Knot)
31/31/31/31/31/31 Daddy-mon (Power Item)

Game selects inherited stats as x/31/31/31/31/31
Daddy-mon is holding Power Weight, which guarantees HP is passed down, resulting in 31/31/31/31/31/31

Am I misunderstanding how the breeding mechanics works? Is the above scenario actually possible, and thus a Power Item increases your chances of getting a 6-IV Pokemon?

I'm keeping track of my own breeding, but I'm having a hard time understanding the odds because I've been having both spurts of incredible luck and long dry-spells.

Forgive my bad understanding of the game's math, but I think if I get these issues straightened out in my head I may possibly begin to grasp this.
