Excellent. I'll be doing all of the following today knowing that parents can only hold two items.
- Everstone for Ditto, Destiny Knot on Chansey, breed the Bold Chansey which already has the Egg Moves.
- For my Dex, breeding Happiny. Option #1: Everstone the Ditto, Incense the Chansey; no IV guarantee.
- For my Dex, breeding Happiny. Option #2: Destiny Knot the Ditto, Incense the Chansey; Nature becomes random.
I'll start with the Bold Chansey as that's my way of making sure everything is lined up right. If you do NOT want Happiny (as in you'll have the Incense to breed one should you want it), I'm done there. However, I have to breed my own Happiny anyway, so if you want either of the other options above and want to change to that, I'm doing it anyway. :)
My first project for the morning is to get the Skitty with Mud Bomb (last thing I did before falling asleep LOL) to breed with the Chansey. One Egg should be enough, but I'll try to hatch two or three for IV options. (UPDATE: I have a 31/xx/xx/xx/31/31 Chansey to level up and rebreed with the Bold Ditto.) I'll rebreed take seven Eggs to start, more if needed. Anything 5IV gets rebred after a Wonder Trade session (I have two boxes of things to clear out and two more already to stick into my Bank) as I doubt I'll hit your configuration immediately. Once I have the successful Chansey, I'll either rebreed that for another identical subject or just use a very similar one to breed a Happiny; since natures are 1/30 and IVs are hard to get with five 31s without the Destiny Knot, I'm going to try the option for random nature and hope to hit some Bold ones. I might even change the Ditto out to the Japanese one (it's also Shiny) once I have my Bold Chansey so I can try for a better Shiny than the Safari spits out; I have three of the Safari Shinies. :)
Either way, if any of this is confusing, I'll announce my breeding results later. At a minimum I will get a Chansey ready. Happiny is for my own objectives and will be available if I can match it up (or close).
