And now I just got one that is 31.xx.31.31.29.31. That's an even worse k/t situation D:

I'd say keep since you get Powersaves, but #flawlessorbust, right? :D

Nah, I just tossed it. I know if I kept it, I'd never keep going >_> I got one with that spread when I was SRing Cress too but I was like 'Don't be a wimp' and kept going lol

That's true though. I (tried) to SR a Hasty Latios and when I got something like 31.30.31.28.31.31, I just gave up and tossed it. I HeX'ed one and injected one to my game though, just as a milestone lol

haha really?? I would have tossed that myself but I'd have encouraged anyone else to keep that. Standards are so high these days, though. I remember during XY when something like a Rash Xerneas with 25.31.31.31.25.26 was considered really good, but right now nobody would like twice at a Thundurus that was 31.xx.31.31.31.31.31 because 'it really needs HP Ice' hahaha

It makes it harder for someone who's new at SRing like me, and that's why I prefer breeding than SRing haha. Then again, I can't say I'm very good at breeding too, still can't get those HP spreads and 6IVs..

...really? I mean breeding's not like SRing, you don't need to have a bunch of different Dittos to ease the process or anything. Pretty much everybody just has a synch, HP checker, and Speed checker, and the only thing that's changed from before is that everybody now also has a lot more patience haha
Don't sweat it on the breeding, I bred for over a year before I got a complete grip on all of the mechanics. I didn't have anything like .com's TMBM guide to help me out back then though, and it was almost a year before I found Smogon and got my hands on lots of Dittos, I used to breed everything from scratch.

I'm just not patient (and lucky) enough when it comes to hit a 6IV spread.

Which do you think I should aim first, 6IV breeding or HP?

If you know how to use the TMBM, go for 6IVs. If you don't, go for HP.

I know how to TMBM, but HP breeding requires some TMBM too, isn't it? It's quite hard to predict which stats are on the 30

Not really. When I breed HPs, I will usually breed the female until it has 31s in the stats I want 30s, at least. It's best if you just breed it until it's a normal 5IV though. Then I start breeding it with a HP Ditto. Using a DK always guarantees 5IVs passed down, so if I bred a 5IV with a hex flawless special HP Ground Ditto and got an offspring that was 31.00.xx.xx.xx.31, I'd know the random IV was Defense, and the Sp Atk and Sp Def are 30. You see?
You can also just do the tried and true method of breeding and bringing potential candidates into a lv 50 battle to determine which are 30s lol
