I have one of these but I cannot for the life of me find which save it is on, but I'm 90% sure that Maximum Optimizer™ still has a copy of it so maybe if you ask them nicely they'll give it to you.
I can confirm that I still have a copy of LegoFigure11's Gengar and I'll gladly trade you a copy of it for absolutely free.
Feel free to VM/PM me with your IGN and FC and I can do this for you.
I have a question regarding how the Time Machine method works. Let's say I have 2 adamant flawless parents that give me a flawless egg. If I save before getting said egg, then reset my 3DS, switch the flawless parents with random ones of a different species and nature (jolly mother holding an Everstone), will the first egg from the new parents have a jolly nature but retain the flawless IVs from the egg produced back when the flawless parents were in the nursery?
Essentially yes. Do note that spreads differ depending on the species you're using. ie: if the test parents are same species (eg: two Magikarp) but the substituted parents aren't (eg: a Pokémon + Ditto) then this won't work. The reason for this is same species do a ball roll (determining which parent passes the ball) which different species don't do (either mother or non-Ditto).
I think you'll need to reject one egg then take the next one to offset this roll if using same-species-testers and diff-species-substitutes, but not quite sure.
No. The inheritance is determined at this point (assuming you switch in like-for-like parents in terms of Mono-Gendered [only one possible gender, whether that be female, male or genderless] vs. Bi-Gendered). By which I mean; you would end up with something akin to: M/4/M/F/M/F on the offspring (where M denotes that the IV was inherited from the Male parent; and F denotes that the IV was inherited from the Female parent, and x [where x is a number] denotes the randomly generated IV). But when you swap in the "random" parents, their IVs will be inherited (in the same manner).
As a concrete example; say you have:
Male: 31/9/31/31/31/31; and
Female: 31/23/31/31/31/31,
then with the above spread (M/4/M/F/M/F) you would receive a 31/4/31/31/31/31 offspring.
But if you switched in:
Male: 23/13/11/9/18/30; and
Female: 6/19/20/8/15/10,
then you would receive a 23/4/11/8/18/10 offspring... Not a flawless one.
Additional notes:
If using Ditto + Bi-Gendered Pokémon, the inheritance will still remain fixed. But Ditto will play the role of either F or M, depending on the gender of the non-Ditto parent.
If you test with a Mono-Gendered Pokémon, for example Kangaskhan, then Ditto will play the other gender. But swapping to a Genderless (still Mono-Gendered) species; Ditto will always play the role of the Female.
As an example: say you find a spread K/D/K/K/20/D (where K denotes the IV was inherited from Kangaskhan, and D denotes the IV was inherited from Ditto). This translates to an F/M/F/F/20/M spread.
Then swapping in Tauros and Ditto; the offspring would inherit the Fs from the Ditto (where previously these were inherited from Kangaskhan) and the Ms from the Tauros.
If swapping in a Beldum and Ditto; the offspring would inherit the Fs from the Ditto, and the Ms from the Beldum.
If swapping in a Bi-Gendered species; the inheritance will (most likely) change altogether.

Few questions:
- Anyone have the hatch locations for Sun/Moon yet?
- Is it actually possible to get Heavy Ball Beldum? The CatchValue is in the negative and I just tried with 500 Heavy Balls and it never even shook once.
- Anyone have a 3-4IV legal foreign Ditto I can use?
I can provide a Vulpix. I can breed on a few egg moves in a few minutes as well.
Just a time, I catched one early. I would give u one after breed it.
Questions from someone who basically skipped Gen 6:
1) Is there any purpose in Gen 7 in using the Time Machine method if I have a 5 IV mon of the desired species and a 6 IV Ditto, and I need a 6 IV mon? Or would that just make it take longer?
2) If Time Machine method isn't useful, is the best method currently to just slap a Destiny Knot on Ditto, an Everstone on the correctly-natured mon, and ride around until an offspring inherits five 31's and by coincidence gets a sixth one?
3) Is there a better way to catch UBs/Tapus/other legendaries with the target IVs (and possibly target HP) than bringing a Synchronizer, tossing a Master Ball, check if it's good, then repeat? I ask because I've seen a lot of people who apparently have RNG-quality Tapus and UBs, sometimes not even in a Master Ball.
I just want to make sure I'm not doing things terribly inefficiently.

I'm not sure where to ask, but I think this is the proper place for now, no?
It is about Festival Plaza. Does anyone has *5 Big Dreams lottery stall? I want it, and I have *5 Treasure Hunt, Rare Kitchen, and bouncy house (HP+Spe).
If anyone does... yeah... add as friends and put the stall on frontmost?

Still need this done?
Same for you.
In addition to what Unknown said, at this point you can obtain TWO IVs prior to catching: health via Final Gambit, as said, and Attack via Strength Sap Smeargle. This is what I used for my 0IV attack legendaries; simply start the battle with a low HP smeargle and see how much you're healed; if you're healed the target attack value (IE Timid 0Iv) you know that at the very least it has a negative nature and 0ivs for attack, meaning you catch it. If not, continue SR'ing.
And of course the speed IV, by bringing a pokemon with a speed value of 1 lower than the max stat of the target and see who moves first. Or 1 higher than the minimal speed stat if you are looking for a 0 IV pokemon.
Still need help
