Breeding Perfect Iv Shiny Pokemon

Having max IVs is unnecessary for the story, but essential against skilled players.

Prerequisites

Access to the Daycare
1 Everstone for ideal Nature
One Destiny Knot for ideal IVs
A Ditto with 2-three perfect IVs (from DexNav searching)
A second Ditto with different perfect IVs
A third Ditto with unlike perfect IVs (unnecessary if you lot have two Dittos with three different perfect IVs, but this is unlikely)

Benefits

A Pokémon with 31 IVs in multiple stats!
A Pokémon with an platonic Nature for whatever stat you desire (if yous use the Everstone)
It can exist coupled with the Masuda method (see later) if y'all take enough foreign Pokémon

Preface

This is a method for breeding Pokémon in such a way as to breed them to have perfect IVs.

Breeding Pokémon can be a tedious procedure, especially when yous don't know what you're even passing down - the hold items tin aid, just, for example, using Dittos with six perfect IVs can take nigh 20 Eggs if y'all have a Pokémon with the right Nature to brood with, and well effectually 100 without in some cases.

Well, anyhow, this method is to get y'all max IVs on all 6 stats - as you recall, IVs boost stat growth by their value (0~31) at Level 100, and proportionately at lower levels. Combining this with an platonic Nature allows you lot to finer heave a stat 34.1 points in a higher place the base value.

With maxed EVs (252+) in a stat, you can increase a stat by virtually 100 points! When it comes to powerhouses like Rhydon in Attack (130 base) or tanks like Blissey (255 base HP), these are significant increases. God forbid you max out the EVs, IVs, and give an law-breaking-centric Nature to a Shuckle knowing Power Fox.

The Method

You can find Slugma with Flame Body in the Fiery Path.

Yous can notice Slugma with Flame Body in the Peppery Path.

The process requires a Ditto with ii perfect IVs. You can also combine this with the Masuda method (detailed in the next section) for somewhat probable Shiny Pokémon.

It is recommended y'all do this by hatching v Eggs at a time, and besides that you accept a Pokémon with the Flame Body or Magma Body abilities in the political party (aslope the Eggs) to speed upward the process.

Step i

And so, one time you have the Ditto (or applicable replacement), you lot demand a Pokémon of the desired species (female if looking for the hidden ability and she already has it or if yous aren't breeding with a Ditto).

Whoever has the desired Nature should hold the Everstone to pass it to the child; the other should agree the Destiny Knot so you can laissez passer down IVs. So brood the two together.

Stride two

The child will inherit the chosen Nature, but at this early on stage, any perfect IVs aren't guaranteed. Ideally you desire a child that has inherited all of the Ditto'south perfect IVs, unremarkably two or 3, but they could have none.

To be certain of any perfect IVs, cheque with the Iv Judge - the Ace Trainer in the Battle Resort's Pokémon Center. It will be unlikely for you to actually find a child early on with all of their IVs maxed, just it helps a lot to know what cards you've been dealt.

When a kid that has inherited all the Ditto's perfect IVs is produced (or you're happy enough), brand them concur the Everstone and brood that with the second Ditto with unlike perfect IVs (now holding the Destiny Knot).

Stuff like Flame Body/Magma Armour and Hatching Power really help here.

Stuff like Flame Trunk/Magma Armour and Hatching Power really help here.

Step 3

The child (grandchild, perhaps?) will again have the desired Nature and maybe some perfect IVs. When yous eventually produce a child that has inherited both the starting time and second Ditto's perfect IVs (or enough perfect IVs), breed the child (with the Everstone) with the 3rd Ditto (with the Destiny Knot).

Step 4+

With luck, this will eventually result in a child with five or more perfect IVs - if not, the Destiny Knot'due south RNG didn't similar you, so attempt once again. From here, but go along replacing the parents with any superior children until you get perfect IVs in all the stats that you want.

Basically compare the children to the parents' IVs and think this: "If I were to supersede ane of the parents with this Pokémon, would I (a) accept more complete IVs among the two than before and (b) would I even so be able to get all of the IVs I want?"

In other words, you'll want to offset replace the Dittos with 2 perfect Iv with male children with more than 2 perfect IVs. Every bit soon as you become ii parents with 4-5 perfect IVs, the convenance should become far smoother and yous'll regularly output children with many perfect IVs.

Additional Thoughts

If you begin the convenance programme with a Pokémon of an non-platonic Nature (not recommended, simply sometimes you don't take a choice), instead be sure to but look out for that Pokémon with the right Nature to begin with. Then move onto IVs, equally changing Natures midway isn't like shooting fish in a barrel.

Furthermore, if you're looking for a detail Hidden Power, remember to toss any children that don't inherit the Hidden Power, as they won't be able to pass the Hidden Power down ever. Even if they take fantastic IVs.

Perfection Non Ever Necessary

Mega Absol can use Special attacks on the side, but Volcarona isnt great Physically.

Mega Absol can employ Special attacks on the side, but Volcarona isnt peachy Physically.

Frequently, you might find Pokémon with merely 5 maxed IVs, or actually you desire a Pokémon like this. The main reason is their Attack and Special Attack for offense.

Typically, people will engineer Pokémon in breeding so that the Pokémon's college of Attack or Special Attack in their base stats is favored by Nature, EVs, and IVs, often letting the other of the two go completely neglected.

Doing so can outcome in much saved fourth dimension: since yous don't have to work on i of the stats, EVs and such tin exist devoted to the other(s), fourth dimension is very much saved, and you don't accept to effigy out which stat you desire the Nature to detract from.

The primary reason for this is that the Trainer will have an only-Physical (Assail/Defense) or only-Special (Special Attack/Special Defense) moveset. If you are opting for such a moveset, you are more than welcome to ignore the stat you lot're not even going to use whatsoever.

Other than Pokémon with varied movesets and sure other strategies, six IVs merely has a use in influencing Hidden Power and for additional breeding with the Destiny Knot.

An Example

Merely in case the previous description wasn't very clear, let's say y'all want a perfect-IV Cinccino. Y'all will first and so desire a perfect-Four Minccino from the Daycare. And so, this is what you lot bring to the situation.

What you lot may use :

Whatever Minccino or Cinccino (nosotros'll assume Minccino)
A Ditto nicknamed "HP/Sp.Atk", with maxed Max HP and Special Assail IVs
A Ditto nicknamed "Df/Sp.Def", with maxed Defense and Special Defense IVs
A Ditto nicknamed "Spd./Atk.", with maxed Speed and Attack IVs
One Destiny Knot
One Everstone (to get the platonic Nature)

Youll be seeing this sight a lot; better get used to it!

Youll be seeing this sight a lot; better go used to it!

Process :

1st Generation

Breed Minccino and a Ditto - for this, y'all'll use "HP/Sp.Atk." for those IVs. Take the one with the desired Nature hold the Everstone as applicable, and the other (or any) have a Destiny Knot.

Obtain and hatch Eggs until you get a Minccino with 2 or more perfect IVs.

2d Generation

Get the Minccino and another Ditto with different IVs together; have 1 concord the Destiny Knot, and if you have the Minccino with the right Nature, have it hold an Everstone.

Obtain and hatch Eggs until you get a Minccino with 4 or more perfect IVs.

3rd Generation

Go this third Minccino and the third Ditto together, the latter having notwithstanding-unobtained perfect IVs: accept one concord the Destiny Knot, and if you take an ideal-Nature Minccino, have it concur the Everstone.

Obtain and hatch Eggs until you accept a Minccino with five or more perfect IVs. Of course if y'all have six perfect IVs or five perfect IVs in the correct places (everywhere but Special Set on, since Cinccino is physical-oriented), you tin stop now! Congratulations!

fourth Generation+

If y'all take male and female Minccinos, 1 with five perfect IVs (in an undesired spread, eg. Speed isn't perfect) and another with at least iii perfect IVs (preferably including one perfect stat that the other Minccino is missing), breed them together.

Keep doing this, while replacing whatever parents with superior children (eg. if yous have a father with three perfect IVs and become a male Minccino with four perfect IVs, get rid of the begetter) until you lot finally get the Minccino you set out to become.
