Gen 6 The "Are my Pokémon IVs and Nature good?" Thread

After only 46 resets, I caught my Cleric Xerneas!

Calm Nature
29/x/31/31/31/31

Beastly!

EDIT: Thanks to Hack Me Must for advice on natures, and to Theorymon for the ability message trick.

Got this Yveltal on my second try:

Nature: Mild (-Def, +SAtk)
HP: 193 (14-15)
Atk: 152 (31)
Def: 103 (30-31)
SAtk: 163 (26-28)
SDef: 108 (10-11)
Speed: 119 (30-31)

The main thing that concerns me is the low Special Defense. I'm using a Mild Synchronizer and have other Synchronizers with good natures, so I feel like going for further resets really isn't a problem, especially considering how easily Yveltal demolishes the trainer you have to fight immediately after capture. Should I keep this Yveltal or try again?

Toss, unless you know of any Xerneas sets that benefit from Mild. It also doesn't help that your physical bulk is further compromised by mediocre HP/Def IVs.

I think you answered your own question. If you're not reasonably confident it's good enough, it probably isn't. SpA is definitely acceptable, and HP (while mediocre) isn't the end of the world with such a high base stat, but yeah that SpD hurts. Though at least you know the Spe and Def have to be 31 - you only have 1 other flawless stat. I still think that while you can't ask for perfection when going for 6 IVs, you can still do better than this one.
 
So I'll soon be resetting for my Yveltal, but I'm not sure which nature to run. I originally planned to get Hasty to abuse Taunt+Sucker Punch and still have power for Oblivion Wing and Dark Pulse, but I realized that set would require fully flawless stats to work well, and there's no way I'm resetting that long. I have settled on either Timid or Modest (thank goodness I have the Synchronizers for it) but I'm undecided- which would work better?
 
After multiple near-perfects, I've run into this situation:

Nature: Mild
HP: 197 (22-23)
Atk: 151 (31)
Def: 103 (31)
SAtk: 159 (18-19)
SDef: 117 (28-29)
Speed: 119 (31)

Does the loss of 12-13 points in Special Attack kill this Yveltal or can I keep it?

I want an opinion on this because it's starting to drive me crazy. I'm trying to breed for a Bulky DD Gyara with a Jolly nature and I figured the ideal spread would be 31/31/31/x/31/31. However, I've gone through four boxes of Magikarps so far and have still not gotten this spread. I've got 5 IV ones that are missing Atk and Spe that I refuse to use, but these are the two spreads I've thought about potentially just settling with until I get my ideal spread.

x/31/31/31/31/31
31/31/x/31/31/31

Can I really afford the imperfection in HP or Def if a bulky DD set is my aim? Or do I keep trying until I get one with that x in Sp. Atk? Or would you suggest just taking one of the above two spreads and just go for a more offensive DD set? My main reason for a bulky DD one is because Gyara was going to be my team's Mega, and after using bulky DD Mega Gyara for a while on PS I've grown to like it a lot when I can get it going.

Dude, this thread is for Legendaries. If you can go flawless on breeds, I suggest you keep breeding until you get flawless.
 
Yveltal from GTS

lolClam

Pretty nice. It's too bad the Def/SpD aren't just a little higher. But who can complain when it's GTS?

GL with Hasty. Resetting for 6 good IVs is time-consuming, but it'll definitely be worth it.
 
I mention above that is clam

I get very solid hasty

Yveltal
Hasty
31/31/16/30/31/31

Def is a bit poor but very solid for me

Well, I had a Modest synchronizer for Xerneas, but I ended up with this:

25/31/31/31/31/31 Timid Xerneas

Everyone has Modest, don't know if Timid is even viable.

If you want run Geomercy = Modest

Other = Timid

I caught this Latios in BW2, and I plan to transfer it over when Pokebank is released. Unfortunately, BW2 doesn't have the auto 3 max IV mechanic for legendaries, so it's way harder to get a good one. It's Special attack and Speed are maxed.

Latios

Nature: Timid

IVs: 13/X/25/31/15/31

Keep or toss?

It's a shame no one responded but eh.
I ended up going for Modest and managed to get 31/25/31/31/31/31 in under a hundred resets, so I'm immensely happy B)
