4th Gen Breeding Questions

Should I use this for a Porygon2? I'm leaning highly towards using it:
Ability: Trace
Nature: Modest
IVs: 30/15/31/23/31/13
SA could be a bit better, but it's not meant to be a sweeper.

Actually, if you are going to use the Charge Beam set it is meant to be a sweeper therefore it will need Sp.A to get the highest SpA possible since its stat will not be maxed.

With the Trick Room set you can use that Porygon since you will be using Choice Specs which will increase the SpA by a lot, but its rather better if you have higher SpA.

Not a bad Porygon, if I may say so myself.
 
Have most chain breeds been discovered or is it possible that pokemon can learn moves that people don't know they can learn through long chain breeds?

Hey, it looks pretty good, but keep in mind you won't be outspeeding flawless Speed ScarfTrans, aside from that, you don't have much to worry about. It depends on the aforementioned and whether or not you're prepared to keep going. I'd take those IVs.
 
what weird matches of pokemon can you breed on diamond and pearl??
 
Those IV's are awesome. Keep it.

hey can sum1 plz help =(

when i breed a sczizor (shiny) with an adament ditto (also shiny) and i use the everstone when i breed them i dont get any adament scythers. ive been breeding for a while now and so far no adament scythers. can sum1 tell me what wrong?
 
Your ditto should be holding the everstone. That allows it to have a 50% chance of passing down its nature.
Also, don't expect any shiny eggs. Breeding shinies together doesn't increase the odds of that happening.

It must be the Scizor, sometimes the nature doesn't pass because one of the parents is affecting it not to. In this case its your Scizor.

Actually, the Ditto or the female of the breeding pair must hold the everstone, in order of the 50% chance of passing down the nature is going to work. If you want an Adamant Scyther baby, your Scizor must be Female with Adamant nature, or your Ditto must have adamant nature. This doesnt mean that you will get Adamant Scyther, just a good chance.

He stated that his adamant Ditto was holding the everstone and its not working.

With certain pokemon the nature will keep on being random. I know this because it has happened to me a lot. When I try using my Milotic with Azumarill holding an everstone, it will not pass its nature.

If you still need an adamant Scyther I will give you one, just PM me.
 
Okay, I have an MALE Ivysaur [that knows Double Edge] and a MALE and FEMALE Slowpoke [that know Curse].
Is there any way to get a Slowpoke that knows both Double Edge and Curse? I need to get one so I can then breed it with a Snorlax so the Snorlax can have both of them as egg moves.
Sorry if the answer is obvious, I've looked into this a bit but it's still kind of confusing. I'm still kind of new to this... please reply if you know! ;x;

EDIT; Okay. Looks like Slowpoke isn't able to learn Double Edge. So how about this. How do I get Ivysaur's egg [Bulbasaur] to learn Curse? 0:

EDITEDIT; Nevermind, I figured it out! Well, at least I think I did... if not, I'll be coming back here for help. XD

hey guys i'm pretty new to this whole breeding thing any tips would be help ful?

Here's a few tips and things to remember about breeding. Other people may expand on this if they wish.

~ You can breed male and female pokemon to get an offspring of the female pokemon, at level 1.
~ In addition, you can use ditto to replace any of the pokemon above, but you will just get an offspring of the pokemon that isn't ditto.
~ Only male pokemon may pass down egg moves, TMs, HMs etc, but only as long as the female of the pokemon can learn the move itself.
~ Only females and Ditto have a 50% chance of passing down the nature, as long as the pokemon with the nature trying to be passed down is holding an everstone.
