Right after the player selects their starter, gift the player character a low-level Ditto with perfect 31 IVs across the board holding a Destiny Knot. And let the player access a Day Care in the starting town that also sells Nature Mints.
And just like that, resetting over and over for good IVs and the desired nature is a thing of the past! When a Pokemon breeds while holding a Destiny Knot, the resulting Egg inherits all of that Pokemon's IVs.
Give the player a Ditto with perfect 31 IVs in every stat, and now any Pokemon the player desires can be bred with the Ditto for an Egg to hatch. And that Pokemon Egg will hatch with perfect IVs!
Ditto is also an excellent early-game Pokemon that promotes strategizing on the fly, as the Impostor Ditto copies many pokemon and makes the player familiar with these Pokemon and movesets.
As an aside, ensuring the player starts with 2 Pokemon (starter, and free Ditto) means every player can enjoy Double Battles against Trainers+Gym Leaders and Singles battles against wild Pokemon.
