Bad Luck You've Had So Far

Just caught a zapdos with perfect SpA, SpD and Speed and hidden power Ice, but my synchronise user failed so it was Brave. The complete opposite of Timid. Wish I checked the nature first so I didn't know any better...
 
Currently on my 15th batch (and counting) of Joltiks (Breeding 4 against 5 IVs) and my closest to a 5 IV Joltik was some 4 IV offsprings that either had "31/X/31/X31/31" or "X/X/31/31/31/31".

Also on my 11th batch of Joltiks, I managed to hatch a shiny Joltik .... it's IV spread is "X/X/31/X/31/31". Keeping it as a reminder of my failure (never gonna use it though).
 
I finally found a Shiny Ditto while chaining in the friend safari (still trying to get those 1 IV dittos lol). I was whittling it down to red with Pikachu to catch it (after it transformed into Pika, ofc), when this crud happens. "Squeaky was so in sync with Pikachuun's wishes that it landed a critical hit!"

Two words: False Swipe.
 
I almost got my dream mon, a Greninja with HP fire, shininess, timid nature, Proaten, and competitive IVs, for my shiny Trevenant. The guy said he'd trade in a heartbeat... but someone else beat me to it
 
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but:

*There is no HP Fairy
*If Protean Greninja uses HP of any type, it becomes that type
I was asking if the Hidden power typing had change, sorry for my stupid spelling mistake, I was kind of off that day. Your input is very useful for me, thank you :)
 
Less than 100 eggs in and I hatch my shiny Pawniard! Unfortunately, the game decides to be a dick and not give it Defiant. Then I check the IV Calc and judge and learn that not only my blue ranger not inherit 31 attack (I could tell from screen), which was the only desired 31 not inherited, but the game decides to be a dick and generate its Attack IV at an abysmal 5.

It seems all my encountered/hatched shinies (outside of the TSV-abused Gligar) are naturally red and doomed to not having good futures as physical attackers. At least Billy (named him that) will be my pretty collection item.

Nearly 1 whole week of HA Starly breeding and a large ton of Starly eggs later... Still NO 5 IV HA Starly... My game's breeding RNG really hates me at the moment it seems
 
I don't know if this count but, trying to find a ditto safari. Oh also I have been trying to pick up leftovers for a week with a full team.. still nothing :[
 
The only bad luck moment I can think of so far is when it took me 932 eggs to hatch a shiny Brave Honedge, with MM and shiny charm. its IV spread wasn't the best either, with 31/17/31/31/31/-
 
The Celebi I got from doing a Bank transfer has a 0 Sp Def IV and a 'meh' Def IV. So much for being able to use it since it has 31 HP/SpA/Speed. ;_;
 
I was breeding and EV training all my mons and then while the 3DS was in my pocket the cart ejected and I lost days of progress lol
