Gen 6 The "Are my Pokémon IVs and Nature good?" Thread

I recently used the Masuda Method to hatch a shiny Charmander! It's meant to be a mixed-attacking Mega Charizard Y, with a Naive nature. Its HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Speed IVs are all 31; however, it has either a 4 or 5 in Special Defense. Is is still usable even with such a low Special Defense IV if everything else is perfect?
 
Timid Mewtwo with 31/x/28/31/22/31

Keep?

EDIT- Kept it, I can try for a better one in X if necessary.

Hey, that looks like my Mewtwo except defense and and HP are switched. Yeah, once Pokebank comes here (hopefully soon), you might not have to worry about that Mewtwo in X.
 
You can make that work. I'd personally reset though because I'm super finicky. But it has the stats where it most counts, so it's up to you and your patience.

To be honest, you're probably not going to get any better than this with MMing. It takes long enough to hatch a shiny as it is, and your shiny has 5 perfect IVs. The Naive nature and 4 IV in Sp. Def still leaves MegaZard Y at a respectable 215 stat. For quick reference, in the sun, opposing MegaZard Y 2HKO you with Fire Blast either way, Greninja's Life Orb Hydro Pump 2HKOs either way, and Modest Choice Specs Politoed just misses the OHKO with the 4 IV (296 damage max, 99.7%).
 
After a while SR'ing for a while, I managed to get a 3/16/31/31/31/31 Zygarde. I'm guessing I'll want to SR some more for a more respectable HP/Attack IV?
 
Okay, after a little more SR'ing, I managed to get a 28/22/31/9/31/31Adamant Zygarde. Keep, or keep trying for better Attack? Just so I don't have to keep annoying you guys, what would be a good minimum for Zygarde's "important" IV's?

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

Just found a Yveltal need some opinions:


Hasty

30-31/20-21/30-31/30-31/30-31/12-13

I know the speed IV is low but would this guy be good enough for a mixed sweeper in terms of stats?
 
Hey,
just wondering whether i should keep this Mewtwo

Modest with 31/17/30/31/23/30

im pretty new to this so wondering if this would be a good keeper?
 
Just got this:

Yveltal - #717 (Naughty) (going for naive)
HP: 20 - 21
Att: 30 - 31
Def: 30 - 31
SpA: 30 - 31
SpD: 22 - 23
Speed: 30 - 31

Probably shouldn't keep, right? I want a +Speed Nature and the 20 in HP isn't terrific. Just thought I'd ask for second opinions.

Also, what's the deal with its catch rate? I decided I wanted it in a premier ball and I never fail to catch it in one try.
 
Ryanoceros You only listed 2 IVs as 31, so either Def or Spe is also perfect (3 IVs are fixed to 31 on legends). The IVs are good, but I don't know if Mewtwo wants to be Modest as opposed to +Spe.

-NLMRY- HP won't compromise your overall bulk much since the base stat is so high. But I think you answered your own question when you said you want +Spe. Regarding catch rate, I think it's 30.

It's very easy to catch because it's part of the storyline. I caught mine in one Quick Ball on the first turn of the match on my original runthrough of the game. Gamefreak usually makes the cover legendaries easier to catch than something like Mewtwo.

I guess I did, but I wanted to see if there was any support for "keep." Thanks for your reply.
 
22-23/31/20-21/31/28-29/31

Yveltal, should I keep soft resetting for better defenses or will it not get much better?

Oh and it's rash nature

Should I keep it?

Xerneas - Timid
201/135/107/151/113/130
Which should be
31/31/14-15/31/20-21/31; one of the 31s could be 30.

*Speed is definitely 31 (Alert to sounds)
