Would a Pichu bred with the following attacks:

Volt Tackle
Thunder Punch
Charge
Thunder Wave

be a good bred pokemon attack wise? I have several from when I made one for my brother's use, the one I'm using has

Calm Nature
5/5/5/5/6 stats, level 1 I'm not exactly sure how to figure out EV/IV as I'm really rather new to the whole breeding thing though

Attack wise? Not good imo. All attacks are Electric type, which is bad. Charge is useless, as is Thunderpunch on Pichu.

If I breed a Male Torterra knowing Earthquake, and a Female Snorlax, will the resulting Snorlax (No Incense held so not a Munchlax) know earthquake, as it can learn it via TM. Or would it have to be 2 Snorlax to pass on moves it can learn by TM?

I've got another about breeding Pidgey, what is the best nature for one bred with a Staraptor? (To get Brave Bird and Steel Wing)

Yeah, TMs can be passed from the parent no matter what the species is.
If you're going for a physical attacker, Adamant or Jolly would be the best bet.

I'm confused. I want to pass on the Adament Nature to my Tyrouges. Do I give the everstone to my Adament Hitmonchan or to my Adament Ditto?

Yes, you can trade pokemon from Platinum to HG/SS after you have got 1 badge in both. Also then you can trade from HG/SS to Platinum.

If the parents have bad IV's, does the offspring inherit the bad IV's or is it still Randomly generated?

ThwackX

Usually, 2-3 IVs from either parent are passed down to the offspring. The other 3-4 IVs are randomly generated.

So, it is possibly that the offspring inherits some bad IVs, so it is best to use parents with high IVs in crucial stats as possible.

Um, is it ok to ask in this thread for a Pokemon IV battle? It didn't say anywhere in the first post that you couldn't, and I need to check my Pokemon's IV stats...

Hey! Don't blame me. << I may have been here since '05, but if you've bothered to actually look at where I post, it is definitely not in any of the gaming sections lol. I'm an artist and a roleplayer, as well as an author of fanfiction. Up until recently I wasn't big on breeding, and I've only JUST gotten in to IV breeding. Plus with these new forum changes and all, I wasn't even sure where to go to begin with. I thought it would've been in here, having to do with breeding and all, but I guess not. Sorry~

Is it possible for a Pokemon to inherit more than one egg move. For instance, a Shinx with both Fire Fang and Ice Fang? And if so, how do you do it?

I don't see any reason why Hydro Pump and Dragon Rage would be on the same set. The only use Hydro Pump has on Salamance is Choice Specs and a Naughty nature isn't suited for that. Bite's obviously going to go. It's up to you whether you should keep Flamethrower or use Fire Blast. Dragon Dance is fine Just my two cents.

Yes. The father knows both of the egg moves.

I think my question is a little newbish. If a one of the parents have good IVs will the offspring have a good chance of having them too? If so, does the parent have to have a specfic gender. I am new to IV breeding as im breeding for a good Larvitar so im asking this.

Okay, so I'm getting into egg-moves (building towards IV's) and am wondering what chain will be required to get Ice/Fire/Thunder fang(s) on a Shinx. Anyone any help?

If you want a Pokemon to learn an egg move, the male has to have it in his move set when bred with the female. (Ex: If Charmander has Outrage listed as an egg move it's father happened to know the move, than the Charmander will be born knowing that move). So all you need to do is to find a male Pokemon that knows the moves Fire/Ice/Thunderfang, and breed it to a female Shinx/Luxio/Luxray (because females determine the species produced).

Currently, here is a list of all Pokemon that know those moves and can breed with the Shinx line:

Growlithe/Arcanine
Jolteon
Flareon
Houndour/Houndoom
Electrike/Manetric
Glaceon
Mamoswine

These Pokemon can learn the fang moves by breeding as well:
Rhyhorn/Rhydon
Snubbull/Granbull
Poochyena/Mightyena
Mawile
