6th Gen Not just EV Training, but getting "perfect" IVs just got a little easier.

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?

Its not a straight swap, it chooses 5 from both pokes so 5/12 chance.

When something becomes easier, you could think it means you're gonna have a headache trying to compete with people from here on in, but I disagree. Even if it becomes more accessible, it also makes it easier for those who really care about getting well-rounded, potent Pokémon. If you were already interested in competitive battling, you'd probably already have the perfect Pokémon anyway. Those players who don't are likely to continue not doing so, and won't care about the perfect Pokémon let alone battle competitively.

However I do care to battle competitively, but one would assume that in order to do so at this point, now I must also focus on IVs. In previous generations I competed just fine ignoring them. But as I have said I will still ignore them and see how it goes.

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.

So they are guaranteed then? Well that makes things different and I amend my previous statements.

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

Looks like it's time to befriend some loyal subjects-- I mean, members of this site.

So say you've got a Pokemon with all perfect IVs and it's holding the Destiny Knot, it'll take 5 of those from the Pokemon holding it and nothing from the other? Or does it miss-match between the two?

Destiny Knot allows the offspring to inherit 5 IVs total from either parent.

Whoa whoa, like the Destiny Knot that prevent infatuation haha? And this sounds pretty dang good, just gotta find that perfect Ditto first.

I have a Japanese one. It's in Generation V however. I'll be cloning some in preparation for import into Generation VI.

 

[X-Calem]

Well, looks like nobody has answered my question :( is there a gen vi IV calculator? If not then how did you guys calculate your IVs?

 

[man of steel]

*yawn* maybe one day I will figure out what iv and ev are, I just play, beat the champion, and I am done lol
