I'd like a Weak Armor Vanillite, gonna make a jimmicky set.

I'm after a simple Woobat and a sniper Spearow myself.

I'd like a sylveon.

Getting ghosts ready for the spooky event.
I managed to get a shiny misdreavus while trying to get the correct IVs.

>>4143
Kitty Pika is cute Pika

Anyone got a Noibat/Dratini?

I'm planing to set myself up as a breeder to toss decent stuff on wonder trade once I beat OR. Was wondering what I need to trade to get a perfect ditto so I can be ready

I breed some Cyndaquil earlier and was a major pain die to the gender ratio.

I then breed some Pancham and it went super quick thanks to the Cyndaquil

I just finished breeding slakoths, about to start on joltiks.

I would breed honedges after that, but I don't have any with perfect speed IVs.

>>6981
I have a dratini with 31 Defense and Special Attack IVs?

>>7845
Why are you just injecting, if you're breeding with 6IV ditto that's cheating too.

Better question: For someone who's just started out breeding (literal first timer), what are some good Pokemon to start collecting that are commonly wanted in trades? I need to start breeding lots of something valuable to trade for pokemon with hidden abilities.

>>7897
Ditto would really be the top one. I'd personally wonder trade stuff and breed up anything in OU to good IVs.

A shiny male 31/x/31/31/31/31 calm Eevee

If I get the hidden ability, it is becoming a Sylveon, and if not hidden, then Umbreon

End goal is 18 competitive shiny Eevee - 9 males, 9 females, because I am apparently insane and decided that the shiny 4 IV Timid Froakie and the 5 IV competitive Chespin that had absolutely no inbreeding weren't enough punishment

Fucking… Maybe my next project will be breeding a 6 IV female shiny Charizard in Ruby fucking I swear…

>>7897
First of all, make sure you know what IVs are. For a quick run-down, you want 31s in HP, Def, S.Def, Speed, and whichever attacking stat(s) your mon uses. If you want to be fancy, special attackers don't care about Atk but 0 is ideal, physical attackers don't care about S.Atk but 31 is ideal, mixed attackers obviously want both Atk and S.Atk as 31s, Trick Room mons want 0 Spd. The judge in Kiloude's/Battle Resort's Pokemon Center will tell you that a stat "can't be beat" if it's 31, and he'll mention it being awful if it's 0.

If you're okay with cheating, check out >>7894 and learn how to make injected mons legal.

If not:
-Go to GameFAQs, get a 6IV Ditto (a ditto with 6 perfect 31s for IVs). Kyogre's Cascade will let you ask for specific natures or spreads (6IVs and either Adamant, Jolly, Modest, Timid, or Naive would be the best starting off), and the other guilds that give away Dittos will probably let you at least pick the nature of a 6IV Ditto.
-Start throwing shit into the wonder trade (bad shit to start off, then your own breeding leftovers later to share the love). Pay attention for other peoples' breeding leftovers; those will be level 1 mons with egg moves, special balls (Johto balls are really good trade bait), or the hidden ability (HAs are illegal with Johto balls, so YMMV trying to rebreed/trade those). If you don't know what the egg moves or HA of a species is, look it up every time you get a level 1 mon; to make things easier for mons you don't know much about, a level 1 mon with markings has a high chance of being a breeding reject with the markings corresponding to stats at 31.
-Use your Ditto to re-breed the leftovers. Learn the mechanics of the Destiny Knot (tl;dr: replace the mother whenever you get a new female with more ideal IVs) and don't forget to use Everstones when you want to keep a certain nature.
-The best thing to trade for early on would be females with the right ability (especially for species that use their hidden ability) in different balls; those females are high-value breeding stock because lots of people like matching the colour of their pokemon to the colour of the pokeball.
-People usually keep track of perfect IVs with the marking system; 6 symbols and 6 stats. Tap them on the status screen instead of actually selecting the pokemon in a PC and marking it with the menu.
-Keep breeding, keep trading, and eventually you'll be as much of a no-lifer as everyone else here.

Just wait until you're breeding for shiny female HP Ice Jolteon. That'll REALLY drive you crazy.

>>7901
OhdearsweetgodIhaveneverdoneHPbreedingbeforekillmenowPLEASE!

>>7902
>Jolteon isn't competitive without HP Ice for boltbeam coverage

>Breeding parents 31/x/30/31/31/31 and 31/x/30/31/31/31, with a 0.0031% modifier,
will produce a 31/x/30/31/31/31 Pokemon 0.0006% of the time or 1 out of every 170039.3514 eggs!
The modifier is for female and shiny (without a shiny charm). Don't forget to double the number of eggs because there's a 50/50 chance the <x> will be odd instead of even. The ride never ends

HP breeding actually isn't hard if you have Dittos, it just fucks up more often than regular breeding because the x still matters slightly. HP breeding without Dittos is a fucking nightmare, though; basically not worth it unless you're a student with no job.

Slightly related, the first shiny I hatched was a Magneton with 31/x/31/30/31/30 (HP Water) instead of 31/x/31/30/31/30 (HP Fire). I wasn't aiming for a shiny, but I like Magnezone and was really disappointed to learn that a coin flip was the difference between having a competitive shiny and having a shiny I can only use for gimmicks. I'm still conflicted about whether I want to modify the IVs via powersaves/PKHeX or not. The next shiny was a Talonflame that didn't have HA, but Flame Body + Fly at least makes her useful as the party lead for breeding.

>>7904
>not using Dittos
Sacrifice a virgin in RNGsus' name

>>7905
Do people actually give out free 6IV dittos?

>>7906
Yeah. I helped distribute them for Kyogre's Cascade before last semester got serious, and at least two other guilds give out Dittos as well.

>>7907
…Why?

Also, where can I find some?

>>7908
>…Why?
I got lots of freebies from halfchan's /vp/ and wanted to share the love to the Pokemon community. Most Ditto distributors are just nice people.

>Also, where can I find some?
GFAQs trade boards have guild threads where you can ask for one, a lot of the time in the first 50 threads. I might still have extras I need to get rid of if you want to throw something into the GTS

>>7909
It might be more convenient if we get each other's friend codes.

>>7910
GTS trading is really low-investment. You toss random shit into the GTS asking for a level 100 Ditto, make a post letting me know what it is and who to look for, then check back in 5-10 minutes and you'll have your Ditto.

>>7911
Actually, it's late as fuck and I'm going to be getting to bed. If you haven't gotten a Ditto from GFAQs by Thursday, I'll try to check this thread or make another one just giving away dittos.

>>7912
Please link the thread here if you do.

I checked and I have seven 6IV Dittos with different natures. 1 Adamant, 4 Timid, 2 Jolly. I can get more, but won't be doing so until I'm out; at that point in time, if enough people still want Dittos I can take requests for nature otherwise the replacements will all be Naive. The Dittos are entirely hacked, if that would

If you want a Ditto, catch something shitty, toss it into the GTS asking for a level 100 Ditto, then leave a post here saying what mon and name I should look for. I should get a Ditto to you shortly.

>>7924
I'm going to sleep for the night, I'll try doing another giveaway starting at a similar time tomorrow.

>>7925
>Forgot I was going to do this
>Nobody showed up asking for Dittos anyway

Welp

>>8017
>hacked dittos
I'd rather not. If I wanted hacked dittos I'd add them in myself.

>>8018
That's cool, I prefer doing things myself too. Good luck making the jump from 4 IV parents to 5 IV mons.

>>8024
Thanks. It's not that I don't want 6IV dittos, I'd just prefer not to have hacked mons in my game.

>>8026
Right now I'm breeding for my friend, and he uses the dexnav to catch pokemon with the IVs needed.

After 4 and a half boxes I finally have a 5 IV Joltik.

That was much harder than it should have ever been.

>>8026
I've seen a lot of variations of that set - I recall a set that used higher % male mons and another that used lowest possible egg hatch steps.

This looks like a mix of both.

>>8032
Ouch, better luck on the next project.

>>8035
Yeah, I just went digging through an archive for the first picture I could find. It doesn't matter a ton to me, because I use Dittos.

Currently I'm breeding an Audino for contests. The only things I'm missing are a Swirlix or Spritzee knowing Draining Kiss/Sleep Talk and a Destiny Knot (because I either have to strangle Lois and Hal for it or I have to climb up to Master Rank in a contest; Audino learns a moveset that's perfect for it).

>>8045
How do you get destiny knot in OR/AS? I traded mine over from X/Y

>>8060
Sea Mauville, or from a fan at Master Rank for contests.

I just bred a penta perfect timid swablu.
then i realized it doesn't learn calm mind.
I dun fucked up.

>>8077
Good luck giving it calm mind

>>8078
Fuck it all, I'm just gonna rebread for modest penta.
You don't even know anon, how mad I got that i goofed that badly.

>>8079
Why can't you rebreed for timid penta?

>>8080
Because timid is the problem. And I already have it.
Without calm mind, which my set relied heavily on, I can't OHKO things as often as I'd like. I'm not going to do as much damage as I want.
80 base speed not good at all. compared to dishing out 110 pixilated hyper voices

>>8081
Wait I'm confused here, is having timid the problem? Can't you breed for timid, calm mind, penta?

>>8082
Swablu and Altaria don't learn calm mind
so setting up calm minds and trying to sweep is out of the question for a special attack mega altaria.

>>8083
Hmm, breed a venomoth to set up quiver dances for it?

>>8084
Maybe another day but right now I'm breeding this gem for a mono dragon team. honestly just wanted to see how well the special set ran. I usually prefer the good ol' adamant d dance/roost/eq/return no brakes on this rape train set.

>>8085
In that case, I'd probably just go for the rape everything dragon dance set.

>>8086
Initially, that was what I wanted.
But the idea of breaking a substitute intrigued me. and the idea of people assuming I run the rape set trying to burn me also gave me a chuckle.

>>8087
You could kind of run the special set to lure out their counters to physical sweepers, then physical sweep with another poke.

>>8088
Yeah there's a lot I can do. It's fun for me try and test different things out. I would probably keep mine in for the burn though because I have roost and no worries.

>>4143
>yet so rewarding
I haven't hit that part yet.

Leftovers go on wonder trade.
