OK, I'm pretty new to IV breeding, and on various forums I hear people saying "I'm still SR'ing XXX." I know what soft resetting, and the whole 'saving before collecting the egg' strategy. But my question is, once you hatch a baby Pokemon (with the right nature, e.t.c.), AND the right characteristic, how do you tell what the IV's are? Do you have to use Rare Candies or the IV Check code? I'll give an example.
My current project is an Impish Hippopotas/Hippowdon with: 31/31/31/x/31/31. I save before talking to the Day-Care Man, then collect and hatch the egg. It's male and Impish, just what I want. The characteristic is "Capable of Taking Hits," which is the one that COULD be 31 IV's in Defense. Both of my parents have a 31 IV in Defense, so chances their baby with Capable of Taking Hits has the same. But how do I tell what the other IV's are when it's only Lv 1 without using Rare Candies or the IV Check code? RC's take FOREVER just to check one Pokemon and for some reason my IV Check code won't work for me. WiFi battles don't work because you have to save. PLEASE tell me how to check the IV's! Thanks in advance! :)
