Currently trying to breed a shiny bulbasaur for my girl as a surprise :D

Im also buying her a 3ds xl and Pokemon y. She has no clue lol.

Currently at 180 with no luck. (no shiny charm yet :/ )

Wish me luck!

Also trying to breed one for trade, so... yea.

Cordelia March 28th, 2014 4:17 PM

I'm currently breeding Espurr with Trick and their Hidden Ability -- I'd like to get a few competitive Meowstics out of it. It's really been a process to get the move Trick onto it D: I had to raise my Mime Jr. to Mr. Mime at 36, have it learn Trick, breed Trick onto Spinda then onto Espurr, haha.

Ghost Lunis March 30th, 2014 10:05 AM

I'm working on a good parent for binacle to masuda method in april. I really hope I don't get a shiny for the first time. If I do, my buddy, Superstrength79, might be upset I didn't wait until April for the "The Lunis challenge for [insert month here]" to start on my parents. I don't even have another good pokemon with egg moves for it. Anyways, I didn't care for binacle ' s egg moves.

You've already gotten a shiny out of it. :P (You should go show it to Necrum yes yes)

Those challenges sound fun, although I don't know if I'll ever have the time to actually do them lol Breed egg moves onto it anyways. Better trade value and it sets it apart from just a random shiny in the wild, besides the IVs that is.

Ghost Lunis March 30th, 2014 11:03 AM

I was thinking maybe switcheroo. Tickle will be the easiest to come across. And yes you are correct, egg moves are indeed valuable:) No matter how useless, lol.

and yes the challenge is fun, gives us some good friendly competition:)
as long as it's a certain shiny, you win. No matter how you come across it, as long as it's your OT.

After a little more research, I'm definitely going with switcheroo. Inkay into corphish then corphish into binacle. I also might do water sport if time us on my side.

Azire March 30th, 2014 1:06 PM

My next breeding project I believe will be Timburr. Actually begin breeding it for my VGC team. I've tested it enough and I'm very pleased with it's performance, it is truly an amazing Pokémon. Underrated I believe.

cscof March 30th, 2014 1:20 PM

I've decided to begin breeding technician scythers, I love the ability technician, and plan to share that love with wonder trade, and anyone who wants one and eventually some dragon dance larvitars

Azire March 30th, 2014 2:43 PM

Oh I just figured out a great use for this thread. As already mentioned I'll be breeding Timburr. Which Egg Moves should I go with?

Drain Punch and Mach Punch are already decided. The other options are:

Comet Punch
Counter
Detect
Endure
Force Palm
Foresight
Reversal
Smelling Salts
Wide Guard

If needed I could put descriptions of all those moves. I already have two others in mind but would like to hear some opinions.

This is one of the purposes of this thread yes. :D Detect for sure since that is used in VGC a lot. When I did my Timburr I bred on Mach Punch, Drain Punch, and Detect. The fourth one can be anything you want it to be. But definitely make sure you have Detect on it since that'll make it even more valuable trade wise.

Ghost Lunis March 30th, 2014 4:16 PM

go with wide guard just since you like doubles:)
Got switcheroo on binacle now. Jolly, tough claws, and switcheroo. I just wish everstone passed on the ability everytime too. Woot, just waiting on April now.
Then I might decide to put more moves on it. But they are all hatching with shell smash already so I like that:).

cscof April 2nd, 2014 1:50 PM

I'm going to breed some morning sun growlithes, any idea on some other egg moves to give them?

Belldandy April 2nd, 2014 5:44 PM

Congratulations on your Shiny.

If you don't know what to breed I will tell you my plans and you might be able to get some ideas. I am breeding my VGC team, Singles team, Vivillon of course, lastly I plan on breeding all Mega Evolution Pokémon with Egg Moves, the proper Nature and good IV spread. The Megas will be for my personal use so no need for a whole bunch of Natures for the same Pokémon. Oh and eventually all those will be Shiny. :)

uncleteemo April 2nd, 2014 9:56 PM

Well i recently acquired a driftloon in a love ball going to try to breed those (female too!)

Thank you! I had forgotten that I still need my native vivillon in shiny, that's what I'm going for now I think.

I am also interested in breeding the Mega Pokemon with egg moves in nice pokeballs. So far I have Mega Mawile and Mega Manectric... not too good I'd say. xD

Great, remember that Butterfree can supply all Vivillon Egg Moves. It learns the last one at level 34. It's a one step Egg Move process. Luckily the last one is at a low level too.

Of course that's if you traded the Vivillon I gave to you that were Egg Moved. If not you can pass with one of those.

I had more Shiny Mega but I've traded all but Kangaskhan. I'm breeding all mine in Premier Balls obviously. My problem with other Balls is if I want a HA and no Apricorn Ball Pokémon can have a HA.

Ghost Lunis April 3rd, 2014 7:24 AM

Hmm I will have to check if I traded those away.....

Luckily I already had a 5 iv female shiny vivillon in a Premier ball, so when I do hatch a shiny modern pattern it will have a nice ball and nice iv's with the appropriate timid nature.

Azire April 3rd, 2014 11:20 AM

If you don't have one you can always check to see if you have a Wonder Trade Caterpie for Lotto or try Wonder Trading to get one. Should be fairly common, until you're looking for it. :P

I usually use traded Pokémon for my Egg Move passing because the bonus experience makes it much faster to get to that target level. Some Pokémon I try to get Egg Moves from learn it in the 50's/60's. That's a pain.

Ghost Lunis April 3rd, 2014 12:38 PM

I did trade them:/
Oh well, my shiny butterfree is lvl 28 so it shouldn't be too hard. Plus I have heart scales:)

Meksal April 3rd, 2014 2:42 PM

Ralts, and Ralts, and more Ralts, forever and ever, never gettin' a shiny.

Did you breed Egg Moves? What Nature? Are you using high IV parents?

Eevee-Kins April 3rd, 2014 3:58 PM

So much Skrelp.
They're 5IV-6IV. I need that shiny ;-;

I ended up with morning sun, roar, heat wave, and close combat. Thinking of trading roar and heat wave for... Something else and a physical fire move

XpokeX April 4th, 2014 11:52 PM

Trying to breed a adamant 5 iv rampardos and mild 5iv deino,man hydreigon eggs take awhile to hatch >.<

Super Size -- that's the size parent Gonzo gave me. He had me clone his and I didn't keep a copy as he requested I did not. I'd love one with my OT.

Agreed. I'm working on dat Masuda Method with a French Pumpkaboo and a Japanese Ditto. :D

Pendraflare April 5th, 2014 7:34 AM

Last I remember I was trying to breed was a shiny Torchic with Speed Boost. I wanted to do it as a gift for my friend.

I decided on that when Shhmew posted her discovery (if you can call it that) on depositing the parents and tipping at Le Nah, but I haven't really gotten far in that yet. Since i've been so consumed with other stuff (school, challenges, etc), I haven't gotten back to it in a while.

Ars Arcanum April 5th, 2014 8:44 PM

Right now I'm breeding for a 5/6IV Bagon. I'm IV breeding/EV training a team to restart the game with. I blew through the first time and didn't really enjoy it, but i'll be sure to this time.

Oh unlucky you man. I have 6IV max Shiny Gardevoir


And I'm currently breeding a froakie!

Loner_grunger April 9th, 2014 6:00 AM

Tried a froakie....got a torrent one shiny. Not bad as I dont competitive play(but I do breed competitive pokes so it feels kinda mehh). Im going for a shiny ralts now, I tried it back in november and got bored.

Meksal April 9th, 2014 6:37 AM

Oh the cries are unbeareable. The only time i've gotten truly lucky is when I found a shiny zubat in a cave in heart gold. I dropped my coffee mug and screamed. The other people in the house were like, "wat?"

Noossab Blue April 9th, 2014 6:42 AM

I'm masudaing Cross Poison/Knock Off/Aqua Jet/Curse Anorith atm. I wanted to do something you don't see a lot of on the wondertrade (ralts/froakie/charmander/eevee/honedge/gastly to name a few).

Tetra April 9th, 2014 1:31 PM

I'm trying to go for a Shiny Fletchling with Gale Wings, hopefully 5IV/6IV. I'll keep breeding if I get one without Gale Wings, hopefully I don't :o

Absol April 12th, 2014 12:22 PM

I am now breeding Fennekins. I'm going for a 6 IV female with Magician Timid and egg moves Wish, Magic Coat, Hypnosis, and Heat Wave. Then after that I'll be going for an HP Ice one. I'm just doing this for fun, not for anything competitive. :D

Ghost Lunis April 12th, 2014 6:12 PM

For the first time in a long time, I have no idea what to breed:/

EV, you should at least breed those fennekin until you hit my TSV;)
XD.

Legendary_Trainer_Alexandre April 12th, 2014 7:01 PM

Chespin, I want a shiny one!!!

Skirovik April 13th, 2014 10:37 PM

Breeding Yamask (for Cofagrigus).

It's my first foray into breeding for stats instead of just for the dex (having the Oval Charm helps) and I managed to breed a 5IV one thanks to the help from someone trading me a 6IV ditto.

The only problem is the 5IVs aren't exactly where I want them so I might just keep going to get what I want. :P

Keiran April 14th, 2014 7:58 AM

http://serebii.net/Shiny/XY/701.png
Hawlucha - Jolly - Mold Breaker (HA)
Ally Switch / Quick Guard / Mud Sport / Entrainment

This is my next breed that I have planned. I really wanna try out Hawlucha support. +^_^+

Your mom.

Gonna start breeding this Tyranitar with this Haxorus here, trying to get Adamant with Dragon Dance :)

Centipede Chan April 14th, 2014 11:47 AM

I'm desperately trying to get a shiny Fennekin through the masuda method.

So far I filled up 1 and 3/4 of boxes.

Firox April 14th, 2014 12:00 PM

My luck is so bad, but I'm still not giving, around 400 eggs no shiny (I usually send my hatched ones via Wonder Trade, and usually release the Pokemon I get for space).

Breeding my level 100 female Watchog (English language) and breeding with a male Watchog I got from Japanese language, still want a shiny Patrat (stats and everything else don't matter).

Skirovik April 14th, 2014 3:47 PM

So I finally got the right nature and IVs for my Yamask! Yay!

Now to train it and decide on what to breed next.

Noossab Blue April 15th, 2014 2:40 PM

I stopped my anorith breeding for iron tail/poison tail/curse goomy...and then stopped that for head smash/iron head/curse aron. Apparently I have a thing for curse users...

Are you going for egg moves? I can give you a binacle with switcheroo if you want that. Should have good iv's too. I bred my shiny one already and have some leftovers:)

I still haven't found something I want to breed yet.

uncleteemo April 15th, 2014 5:22 PM

Hm, today, someone kindly gave me a houndour in a moon ball, with the egg move destiny bond, it's female too! :)

So I think i'm going to start breeding houndours :>

Skirovik April 15th, 2014 7:32 PM

Because being unique is overrated, I have started breeding a Froakie (Greninja). I don't battle online but I have wanted to play around with one of these for a while and finally have a foreign ditto (shiny!) and the Oval Charm (woo eggs!) which makes breeding more exciting and quicker!

Sandslash Fan April 16th, 2014 3:45 AM

I'm currently working on Bulbasaur. So far I have bred all of the moves, nature, and ability into the female, but still need to get a female with 6IVs. The actual goal is to get a shiny, but 6IVs would be nice too :)

Nature:Timid
Ability: Chlorophyll
Egg Moves:
- Giga Drain
- Grass Whistle
- Petal Dance
- Magical Leaf

After Bulbasaur (or if I take a break from it) I am going to work on Charmander. The thing is... I am dreading that, as I'll have to breed two versions of it. One that wants to be Mega-Charizard Y and another that wants to be Mega-Charizard X. Each version will want different egg moves, and I'll want a shiny of both to boot (to complete my Mega-Evolve shiny collection).

Thankfully, I've already completed my shiny Squirtle quest.

Lol Froakie is a very commonly bred Pokémon. :P What nature and/or egg moves are you doing? And yes, Dittos and the Oval Charm makes breeding easier.

Yes, but the goal will keep me playing X/Y for a while yet, and not spending money on Facebook games or MMOs :)

I already have a shiny Ampharos from a horde (even though her nature isn't ideal, and only one IV), and my Squirtle. I also have a Chespin and Treecko; if they ever get mega-evolutions I am set.

I'll gladly use 6IV Pokemon that I've bred, though, to play with mega-stones; until I hatch shiny versions of course :)

I dropped an extra 150 just so I could clone:/ before Powersaves was announced. Powersaves alone is 25 - 30 and up from what I've seen.

Absol April 16th, 2014 3:24 PM

Buying the games, buying systems to play on, ARs, Powersaves, save dongles, cases, more games, internet to have wifi, etc. Loads of money can go into Pokemon actually.

I'd have Internet anyways, so I don't count that as an expense. Why the need for power-saving?

To back up saves and to make breeding much much easier. It's optional though, as is most of what we buy, but if you get into Pokemon big time it can suck all the money out of you if you're not careful. D:

No egg moves as the set I've looked up is made up from TMs he can learn. Going for a Timid Protean with perfect IVs except for Attack (Sp. Attack move-set).

I now have 2 Timid Froakies with the perfect IV spread... except Torrent. ><

I have a 4(5?) IV Female Timid Protean Froakie holding Everstone breeding with a foreign 6IV Ditto holding Destiny Knot. I believe this is the best setup I can get to breed what I want, yeah?

I'm new to breeding but have been reading up as much as possible on it.

If you have any Froakies laying around with egg moves, it wouldn't hurt to add them on in case you decide to change something later. A 6 IV female would be best, but what you have now works, it just takes longer to get the right IVs to pass on.


I finally got a 5 IV female HA Fennekin!! :D But now I don't know whether to go for 31/odd/31/31/31/30 or 31/even/30/31/31/31 for HP Ice...

LuckyLucario2000 April 18th, 2014 2:37 AM

Bulbasaur. I hope I get a shiny. :C

Captain Barnacle April 18th, 2014 6:15 AM

I'm currently breeding the hoenn starters

i have a question: how do you quickly check the ivs of your pokemon after hatching? a guide somewhere said 'use 4 rare candies' and that level 5 is good enough to get an idea and there are calculators online. but i dont get how you just have 4 rare candies to give to every baby you ever make what the ♥♥♥♥.

Not sure, but I can see at level 1 if they have a bad stat quite easily. After hatching a bit, you can see if they have bad HP, for example, and not bother testing it at the Judge.

I usually hatch five at a time then fly to the judge. It works pretty well, I'd say...

There's an IV judge in the pokecenter of the town you gain access to after beating the E4 (forgot name D: ). If you ask him to judge a pokemon for you he'll tell you if any stats have 31 or 0 in them.

LuckyLucario2000 April 21st, 2014 3:19 AM

Beldums and Arons. I seem to have a thing for steel types these days. :D

Absol April 21st, 2014 10:54 AM

I'm finally done breeding Fennekins after getting a female with Magician and 31/30/30/31/31/31 perfect HP Ice. :D I've moved on to Charmander for my pair TheGr8 since he's a dork and can't breed his own pokemon.

Ghost Lunis April 21st, 2014 11:31 AM

Went back and bred some more froakie, timid with protean and toxic spikes. Working on leveling up my shiny greninja and decided I might as well get some eggs out of it. After that, I might work on pumpkaboo or flabébé to help complete my shiny forms collection.

Noossab Blue April 21st, 2014 6:59 PM

I had a few junk eggs I picked up from the daycare after getting what I was looking for and hadn't bothered to hatch. Decided today to hatch them and I got a shiny goomy! Unfortunately it had apparently been in the middle of a string of breeds...only 3ivs and missing one of the egg moves I eventually put on it. But still!

Unless I'm being super lazy, I try to always take the last egg when switching parents (or finished a hatching goal). My second, shiny Sandshrew was one of the last eggs I picked up after hatching my first, shiny Sandshrew.

Gible April 22nd, 2014 6:38 PM

Currently breeding Dratini with extremespeed, aqua jet, and dd. I get 5IVs about 90% of the time but no 6IVs yet. Definitely not looking for a shiny though because Shiny Dragonite looks like s***.

Master Kavar April 23rd, 2014 12:38 AM

hey all well, im trying to breed an 5IV Charmander

Charmander / w Charcoal

Ability: solar power

Nature Mild

Move set:
Dragon pulse
Dragonclaw
Flamethrower/Fireblast
Dragondance

So yeah its really long to find one that's shiny I guess ill go to friend safari to exploit my options.
In the end I hope to breed lots of cool pokemon for competing in or just make a trade shop. :-)

Sandslash Fan April 24th, 2014 4:18 AM

Breeding two versions of Charmander (one for each Charizard mega) and even the 12.5% female birth-rate is not happening. Had to breed at least 50 males before a female hatched; She wasn't any better than her mother. Then I had to breed 30+ more to get a female with better IVs. I'm not even working on my Charmander X yet.... FML :)

Maybe I should take a break and try to go back to trying to hatch a shiny Bulbasaur.

Yep that's how breeding those 12.5% genders go. I had the same thing happen while trying to breed Eevee, Fennekin, and Charmander lately. I would get females but with the same or worse IVs than the current mother. :<

I've never had the string of not getting any females like that before though. I realize it's not a guarantee, but was going on long enough that I was questioning my Ditto and Charmander... like one of them was bugged or something.

Master Kavar April 24th, 2014 5:24 PM

I'm working on a competitive gyarados with its HA
Hoping to get it really strong and get it IV bred for 6 IV :-)

Fairy Tale~ April 26th, 2014 5:39 PM

I'm currently breeding Torchic, Maybe i'll check the ivs someday :D

Just use Ditto when breeding with that horrible 12.5% rate. It makes the process so much quicker. I was able to breed my Charizard X in less than a day.

Master Kavar April 26th, 2014 10:49 PM

Two competitive charazard's one with X mega stone and the other with Y but not in the sane team of course lol

Oh, I was! That's why it was so frustrating that statistics were not on my side that day(s).

uncleteemo May 2nd, 2014 6:52 AM

I've just finished breeding a HP Ice electrike (31/28/30/31/31/31). I thought that was hard, HP Fire froakie is going to be a pain :(

Absol May 2nd, 2014 6:47 PM

I have decided to breed a Moon Ball Mawile \o/ So far I got Seismis Toss on it and working on getting Metal Burst on to it. Then Sucker Punch and Misty Terrain. Just doing the egg moves cause I can. I have yet to decide on a nature. D:
