    Yeah, the best way to know what a Pokémon has when caught is as follows:

    1. What level is the Pokémon?
    2. Look at the last four moves before that level.

    Yawn was long gone. But yeah, these two are better.

    Mh.. actually it also get Yawn from munna, but it learns it a lvl 7, so probably you munna does not know it anymore (not a problem for me, I don't like yawn competitively)
    :D

    I made a discovery you might like. Munna also can breed Synchronoise onto Eevee; FS Munnas have it when caught. I'm going to keep that move so you get both that AND Stored Power.

    That's me taking care in my breeding. :) Plus that might be a cool one to keep on hand for other trades myself.

    Well, I caught a quintet of Munna; I actually started leveling the first, then thought I better check its IVs. Good thing I did because the HP IV would have had no coverage, and the Calm Anticipation Eevee actually has a 0 in that stat. So I needed a 31 to cover that. At least I'll know if that stat is selected or not at random; if it's not 0 or 31, the rater will say nothing.

    I ended up with three 3IV out of the other four catches (that's pretty good!). One is 31/31/xx/xx/31/xx, another is 31/31/xx/00/xx/31. The other two are not covering HP and are eliminated. I'm choosing the first so I don't open up the babies to a 0 in Special Attack; Munna's moveset, very clearly, favours that statistic. HP and Special Attack would be most ideal, but I can still cover both in some of the babies.

    Given the slow start, I'm only where I hoped I would be by this point. I am convinced the game noticed me putting a Calm Tauros aside and intentionally decided to troll me for a while. Particularly with the 1IV Shiny as the only 1IV in 18 Eggs. Go figure.

    I just realized something else. Audino in Gen. V gives a TON of experience to a Lv.1 Pokémon. I might catch the Munna in the Dreamyard, then breed with my Ditto. It may not be 5IV or 4IV, or even 3IV, but I should be able to get a few babies out, expose each to an Audino battle, and hit Lv.30 quickly. I'll do this if I have problems breeding in this game.

    I think you will have it well before that. It's only July 4, after all. Six days is a long time for a project.

    I'm reconsidering importing from White 2, however. It's possibly 0IV. From the Safari, I can at least get 2IV. Let me see if I have one.

    Another update!

    Step 7: Inter-racial breeding with an Everstone. A Calm Eevee should result. If I already have one, I can skip this step.

    The game is trolling me now! Egg #54 was a 5IV CALM FEMALE ANTICIPATION EEVEE. I can move straight to Step 9! I have to still level the baby a little bit before breeding, however.

    Step 8: Continue breeding Anticipation Eevee with each other (the Calm one gets the Everstone, the other the Destiny Knot). Eventually get a 5IV Calm female with Anticipation.

    Again, a female is required to move on. I must be a masochist.


    Step 9: I can now hop over to White 2 and catch any random ♂ Munna. I AM HERE
    Step 10: Import the Munna via Bank.
    Step 11: Give Munna the Destiny Knot, give Eevee the Everstone. Breed.
    Step 12: When a suitable subject emerges (I'll breed at least a dozen, but likely closer to a boxful; I might need to breed out a female to get a high-IV Munna), trade. Note that a male IS acceptable in this step as it's the final result.

    Because I got to jump a couple of steps, I expect to have this by this evening sometime!

    OMG, this is getting really funny xD xD

    So...notice where I updated the message below saying I have 48 male Eevees and 0 females so far.

    ...how quickly did you need this? At this rate, you'll get it in 2015 sometime.

    UPDATE: Egg #49 was FINALLY a female. WITH Anticipation. WITH 5IVs. Time for Tauros breeding. I expected to do that BEFORE dinner, but it's going to have to wait until after now due to the bad Egg luck. At least I was able to switch in a 5IV male to save a step.

    At least the first female was a good one.

    I'm using this as a checklist now. Times are EDT, which is Toronto/New York time. The time I have on this message, thus, is 2:17 PM.

    Step 1: Level this Eevee from WT. Completed at 11:56 AM at Lv.25.
    Step 2: Ditto it for females (I want females for myself too, 5IV or not, I can always breed them).

    I actually got 18 males in 18 Eggs. However, I have 5IV males WITH Anticipation. So I'm marking this completed as of the time of this VM and moving on to Step 3, this time needing females.

    Step 3: Release any without the hidden ability (too common in WT, but will send out Anticipation ones with 2IVs or more). Ongoing for each batch until I have my Calm 5IV female, then completed after that. I'll WT any male with the Egg Move from Munna.
    Step 4: Pick a good female subject with the ability. Done and leveled to Lv.25 by 2:50 PM. Here we go again.
    Step 5: Due to having no females in the first batch, breed another set using a 5IV male with Anticipation to get a couple of females.

    A female is required here before I proceed. If I still get all males, I must repeat Step 5 until I am successful. As of 5:30 PM, I had 48 total males hatched and am still on Step 5. If I could just get one Calm one among the males, I could save myself a step!

    Step 6: Repeat Steps 3-4 for the new male rejects. Select a female with 5IVs.

    If none of the females has 5IVs, I return to Step 5.


    THIS IS FINALLY COMPLETE AT 5:50 PM. HALLELUJIAH! TAUROS, I CHOOSE YOU TO HAVE FUN WITH THE BABY! LOL
