How long did it take you to get a pokemon you were happy with?
seriously this is taking forever
Ok i'm new to EV/IV/everything, I started breeding dratini's cos i want a decent dragonite. I get the nature i want - jolly but it turns out it has rubbish IV's then i have a lonely nature, that has 27 IV in speed, thats pretty good tbh. But i want 31! =( I've wasted 2-3 hrs and i still haven't got a dritini with a 31 IV, I'm using a ditto + dratini (that doesn't have a 31 IV =( ) but even without the 31 IV from the parent, i still could have a random 31 IV right? Dratini Jolly nature likes to thrash about 48 hp 34 att 25 def 23 sp. att 25 sp. def 27 speed Dratini Lonely nature Impeduous and silly 47 hp 35 att 25 def 25 sp. att 27 sp. def 30 spd |
Yes you could still get a random IV being 31 but 3 out of 6 IVS ALWAYS come from there parents by breeding so getting a good ditto or good dratini to breed with would speed things up but it's possible to get what you want without them.
|
my ditto's rubbish though
and it took me like half an hr just getting that ditto do you lvl ur hatched eggs to lvl 25 to see if you have decent IV's becuase i just make each dratini(thats been hatched) make 6 more dratini's. So i don't know if it's accually gd to do this or not. Should i lvl my dratinit's to lvl 25 first? and then check IV's and then breed? |
I have a long-winded way of checking my IVs.
It will take some time to do this, and is only recommended if you plan to train lots of high-IV pokemon. 1. Acquire 3-6 Pokemon with Pickup and level them to level 50-100. 2. Take your pickup team into the grass, kill wild pokemon. 3. Every few battles, check your Pokemon. Remove all items. 4. Continue until you have anywhere from 24-99 Rare Candies (99 allows 100% accuracy with IVs) 5. Hatch the Pokemon you are trying to IV breed. 6. Save. 7. Use all Rare Candies on them and check IVs. 8. Turn the Power off and on. 9. If you like the IVs, go and EV train it. Otherwise, repeat steps 5-8. And there you have it. I myself don't bother too much with IVs yet, but I did use this strategy once. And the other items you get from Pickup are nice too. Strategy 2: Alternate method of Rare Candy collection: 1. Get good at the Battle Tower. |
erm pickup whats that?
and y do you need it to lvl 50? can't you just do it at lvl 25?(iv checking that is ) |
Pickup is an ability that randomly picks up items.
The Pokemon with Pickup (Zigzagoon is an easy one to get) must be a high level, as the level determines the Pickup Items. At Level 50, it becomes easier to pickup Rare Candies. And yes, level 25 is a good level to check IVs, but I sometimes just like to see the Pokemon's level 100 stats. |
I use to be content with ev training till i learned about Ivs..... now i just go insane trying to get My team just right.
|
The first Pokemon I was ever really happy with was my EV'd Lucario, I got the right IVs after getting various Lucario's to breed with each other, repeatedly, for an eternity... Then I EV'd it...
All in all, two months, three and a half weeks. |
took me almost a month to get a Cranidos with the right IV/ EV and as you all know getting a fossil isn't as easy as just breeding. I'm content with my lvl 72 Rampardos now
|
it took me about 1 or 2 month to get nice stats on my chatot and houndoor then i kept breeding them and then i got a shiny chatot with really good IV/EV took me about 3 or more to get shiny houndour with them stats but its worth it and is fun to do so keep trying and you can do it.

Aww let me help you.
This is what I do when I aim to breed a Pokemon with near perfect IVs (no, it's never taken me more than 2 weeks). Decide which stats you'd most like to have 31 in. Say you were breeding a DD Bagon, then you'd want 31 in attack and speed; or if you were breeding a Donphan, then you'd want 31 in HP and defense. Start with your Dratini and your Ditto. Breed a few Dratini until you get ones with better IVs than the Ditto and/or the other Dratini. Keep replacing the parents with the better Dratini babies once you've bred them (gross I know, but it has to be done XD). Anyways, keep breeding until you get a 31 IV in speed or attack, regardless of the other IVs. Once you get this Pokemon, breed from it. Make it one of the parents. Then wait for another baby with 31 in one of its stats (if it's speed again then great, that's absolutely fine; make it the other parent provided it's the opposite gender). Now you have both parents with a 31 IV in speed, so your babies are highly likely to get 31 in speed. Keep breeding until you get a 31 IV in another stat like attack, and hopefully it will also have the 31 in speed you already had on the parents. If not then don't worry, breed them both. Just keep going like this until you're satisfied. Don't just mass breed from the Ditto and original Dratini cos that won't get you anywhere. I hope that made sense >.< As for IV checking, use this IV calculator. It's really accurate and you don't have to level to lv.50 or anything like that. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: HP and defense are harder to inherit than the other stats. Uhh... that takes a lot of explaining. I don't want to put you off reading my already length post XD |
Lady, to get my team, I had to breed for about a year. Of course, Vileplume alone took about 5 months.
You breed so much, it's not gross anymore. You just want the lil bastards to make a baby. :\ |
It is impossible to get 100% accurate IVs from a level 1.

Since I have two DS's, Diamond, & my friends Pearl, I can easily get IV battles whenever. Cuts the time in half.
Of course, I didn't back then... |
My Shiny Giratina xD
Took me 4 months |
I ended up quitting Pokemon Diamond because I wasted too much time trying to breed a Pokemon I wanted so my answer is never I guess.

wow thats really helpful, thanks at the moment i've just caught a ditto with 29/30 IV in hp 30 IV in attack I'm hoping my next few dratini's have that it's possible to get more than 2 29+ IV's on a pokemon right? if it is how should i get 29+ speed on my dratini? - What pokemon should i breed it with? (that has great speed, or more chance or having a 29+ speed IV) |
Everything I've breed takes less than a week because I'm just awesome.
In order to get a Ditto with 31 Speed IVs, research the maximum speed stat that the wild Ditto can have at a certain level with what nature you'd like it to have. Next, bring a Synchronizer with the desired nature that has 1 point less in speed that the maximum speed Ditto. If Ditto outspeeds the Synchronizer, it has 31 Speed IVs. Quote:

The IVs for the baby are first generated at random. Then a random IV from one of the parents is selected and passed to the baby. Then a random IV from the other parent except the HP IV is selected and passed to the baby. Then a random IV from a random parent except the HP IV or Defense IV is selected and passed to the baby. These IVs overwrite the originally generated IVs of the baby. Also, these three random IVs may overlap. That is, the same random IV can be chosen to be inherited in the second or third IV transfer and the one will overwrite the other. Let me give an example. Let's suppose the parents' IVs are as follows. Parent A: HP: 17 Attack: 5 Defense: 26 Sp. Att: 15 Sp. Def: 30 Speed: 21 Parent B: HP: 23 Attack: 28 Defense: 14 Sp. Att: 22 Sp. Def: 19 Speed: 11 Now the baby's IVs are first generated at random. Suppose they are: HP: 9 Attack: 16 Defense: 22 Sp. Att: 31 Sp. Def: 10 Speed: 18 Then a parent's random IV is chosen and passed to the baby. Suppose Parent B's Sp. Attack IV is chosen. That makes the baby's new IVs: HP: 9 Attack: 16 Defense: 22 Sp. Att: 22 Sp. Def: 10 Speed: 18 Then the other parent's random IV except HP IV is chosen and passed to the baby. Suppse Parent A's Defense IV is chosen. That makes the baby's new IVs: HP: 9 Attack: 16 Defense: 26 Sp. Att: 22 Sp. Def: 10 Speed: 18 Finally a random parent's random IV except HP IV or Defense IV is chosen and passed to the baby. Suppose Parent A's Speed IV is chosen. That makes the baby's new IVs: HP: 9 Attack: 16 Defense: 26 Sp. Att: 22 Sp. Def: 10 Speed: 21 The number of IVs passed to the baby is not always 3. It may seem as though the baby was passed more than 3 IVs from the parents if some of the IVs of the baby already matched those of the parents. It may seem as though the baby was passed less than 3 IVs from the parents if 2 or 3 of the IVs passed to the baby were in the same stat; this causes the one to overwrite the other. Therefore the baby will always be passed between 1 and 6 IVs from the parents. The chances are as follows. 1 IV: 2.44% chance 2 IVs: 34.41% chance 3 IVs: 53.01% chance 4 IVs: 9.55% chance 5 IVs: 0.58% chance 6 IVs: 0.01% chance So most eggs will have 2 or 3 IVs passed from the parents. HP and Defense are less likely to be passed to the baby. I have no idea why this was decided, but there we go, that's just the way it is. The chances for each stat being passed to the baby are as follows. HP: 8.02% chance of being inherited Attack: 19.55% chance of being inherited Defense: 13.78% chance of being inherited Sp. Att: 19.55% chance of being inherited Sp. Def: 19.55% chance of being inherited Speed: 19.55% chance of being inherited That is taking into account the fact that the baby's IVs may have already matched the parents' IVs. Hopefully that made sense. |
