Pretty much. If you don't care about nature (unlikely, but still) then you can use the Atk power item to force the Atk, but you're up to the mercy of the RNG gods for nature in that case. Basically Destiny Knot and Everstone are the way to go. Good luck! On a side note: I need to get around...

Depends which stats are most important to you. The outstanding one will have better stats over all, even if it has less IVs, but if the 4 IV one has perfects in the stats you want, and the non-perfect ones you don't care too much about then it might be better. (This is assuming you're using the...

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.

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...

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.

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/pok%C3%A9mon-battle-mechanics-research.3489239/page-25 conversation starts from the last post on that page) There have been no reports of anyone...

The other (and possibly better) option if you're going to have to chain, is to catch some of the Baby pokemon available and breed them over to the egg group you want (or if they're in the same egg group then it's even better). Baby pokemon (and all in the No Egg Group) are caught in the wild...

Depends on what the IVs are on the Male really. But once both parents are 5 IVs the last one is just going to be luck of the draw. The power items and Destiny Knot don't stack additively, meaning that the stat passed down by the power item will count for one of the five for Destiny Knot...

I think that it is just the 0 IVs (or maybe 0-5) and the different phrases are just flavor based on the stat. Eg two that I remember of the top of my head are "you won't be getting anywhere with that speed" and "you'll barely scratch your opponent with that sp.atk" (or something along those lines)

It's a nice coverage and intro to how to breed, however I don't agree with the over use of dittos. Yes if you have those dittos then it works but if you don't (and starting out breeders won't) and rather not catch them, you have the alternate method of using baby or safari Pokemon in the same...

It's unlikely to be wrong as the 5 number came from Game Freak. What are the IV spreads on the Pokemon you're breeding?

With out doing the hard maths: the first ditto will give you a chance of 4 IVs, but you could get 0. While the second will give you a better chance at at least one IV. Personally I'd use the second ditto till I got a Charmander of the opposite gender to what you have and 2 IVs and then use that...

So I'm looking for some help confirming something. According to bulbapedia eggs have a chance to spawn every 255 steps (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Breeding#Breeding_rate) However, in this gen I've had an egg spawn in the time between me picking an egg up from the guy outside of day...

Out of curiosity, was the shiney Klefki caught or from breeding?

Most people probably release them. It's what I've been doing. Assuming you've gotten that 5 and keep a 4 mate for it. Just incase you want to breed another down the line.

Yeah that's pretty much the best you can hope for unfortunately :/

Thanks for this! I was thinking that there should have been one, great to know there actually is. Guess I know what I'll be doing after work.

31 across the board would be odd for all IVs. If you look up at my Skiddo I checked up a few posts it is also odd on all IVs but only had Dark. Also the 31 across the board is the same as the OPs table.

I've actually yet to see anyone get Hidden Power Fairy. It's possible that it's just not obtainable.

The spread showing on MetalKid's IV Calculator (http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/Calculators/IV.aspx) is 31/31/31/19 - 21/26/29 - 30 and with the combination 31/31/31/19(21)/26/30 you'd get Hidden Power Bug (using both the old Gen formula as well as the one in the OP).
