Not just EV Training, but getting "perfect" IVs just got a little easier.
As you know, Super Training brought a revolutionary way of EV Training in these games. Now, however, obtaining perfect IVs was enhanced on.
1. According to Smogon, Pokemon caught in the Friend Safari have a chance (Not sure what the chance is, it's pretty high though) of getting a Pokemon with 2 Perfect IVs. Now this is the main game changer : 2. Prevoiusly, you were too use power items to transfer one IV of one of the parent Pokemon to the Egg. However, now it is possible to transfer 5 IVs with the Destiny Knot item! Discuss this new (and great addition to the games) ! |
Whoa whoa, like the Destiny Knot that prevent infatuation haha? And this sounds pretty dang good, just gotta find that perfect Ditto first.

Don't forget that all baby pokemon caught in the wild have guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, which is actually better than Friend Safari's guaranteed 2!
And also I did NOT know that about the destiny knot o_o Whoa.... |

Amazing, this just made my day.

Yeah, I was able to get some boss charmeleons with good IVs and bred a nice female charmander and then I caught a Fraxure from the safari as well and bred it to the female charmander and got a female Timid charmander with 31/21/17/31/25/31for its IVs lol.
I'm loving it now :P. |
So let's say you have a Salamence with 31 Atk IV and bred it with a Ditto with 31 IV in HP, Def, Sp.Atk, Sp.Def and Spe, if you give Salamence a Power Bracer and Ditto the Destiny Knot, you'll have a Bagon with perfect IV?
|
This is good news and bad news. It is good news that it is easier, but bad news because IV's were essentially ignored by the majority of players simply because it was too tedious, now it is just more work I have to do in order to compete. I still probably will not bother with it.

How do i get the destiny knot? I already have half a box full of torchic, all of them have the right nature and the right ability but they all have terrible IV's

Ugh. I already busted my hump to breed all the stuff I need. I guess I won't really play any newer pokemon (save for Florges) seriously, because once Poketransfer launches all the Perfect IV stuff I dropped so much time on will come up and be with me again.

What's "EV training"? What "EV" means?
And what's "IV"? |
EV stands for “Effort Value.” They determine what stats your Pokémon will get when levelling up. you gain them from battling any Pokémon you come across that award Experience points and playing the Super training mini game.
IV stands for "Individual values" are the Pokémon equivalent of genes. They are instrumental in determining the stats of a Pokémon, being responsible for the large variation in stats among untrained Pokémon of the same species. |

And I heard something about Nature... How can I choose the Nature that I want to my Pokemon, what's affect it? |
This is really exciting!
I can't wait to do some IV training, it should make competitive battling a lot harder now, though |

Time will tell. |
1) All pokemon are guaranteed 2 Perfect IVs from Friend Safari.
Baby Pokemon are guaranteed 3. 2) I can confirm Destiny Knot passes 5 IVs. I have a 5x 31 IV Breloom in my party. 3) Everstone seems to guarantee, or at least GREATLY increase the rate of Hidden Ability transfer regardless of gender. Competitive breeding just got a hell of a lot less tedious. |

If they get that pokemon bank up sooner I have a perfect ditto to move over
