Breeding Question

[M3talHe4d]

Hello, I've starting breeding after realising that random wild pokemon are much worse that baby pokemon, after getting some lvl 100s. Most of them are ok, some are good cuz some were breeded, but I never checked IVs, now i would like to start fresh.

My main question about breeding is: Is there a way to influence the natures or the IVs in your favor?
Is there a way to make sure my pokemon will get a certain nature?
Or do u guys just grab two pokemon and breed for a good one no matter how long it takes?

and if there is, maybe you can give a good example.
Thanks alot

You can influence it somewhat if you have Emerald. You can put an everstone on a Pokemon with the nature you want and breed it. Some of the time you will get the nature of the Pokemon that had the Everstone, others you don't.

Say if you had a modest male Ditto holding the Everstone and bred it with a bold female Blastoise, out of so many eggs, you will get a Squirtle with a modest nature.

My main question about breeding is: Is there a way to influence the natures or the IVs in your favor? in emerald, attach an everstone to female pokemon in daycare and you'll get about a 1/2 chance of hatching offsprings with same nature.
Is there a way to make sure my pokemon will get a certain nature?Not certain, just luck and same as above question.
Or do u guys just grab two pokemon and breed for a good one no matter how long it takes?the offsprings can inherit 3 of either parent's IVs which is mostly luck.

My answers are in bold above.

wow thanks i better go get an everstone. The baby pokemon can only get 3 IVs from the parents at the max?

3 at the max, and another 3 as random. There's always that 1/32 chance that any stat can be flawless (31 DV).

ok I was breeding Charmanders, I got a modest one
IVs
hp 26
atk 15
def 22
spatk 25
spdef 10
speed 20
Also what is the % thing on the IV calc?

how can i breed him to get another modest charmander with better IVs
does the everstone thing work if its a male, cuz this charmander is a male

 

[jordman]

i think it only works with a female...i think anyways

 

[M3talHe4d]

ok so how do I get my charmander better? and whats the % on the IV calc?

 

[Twilit Dragoon]

Rebreeding is the only way to get a better Charmander, not sure about the % on the IV calculator tho.

 

[M3talHe4d]

yea i know but should i use this charmander with another charmander? one with better special def?

 

[jordman]

ya just keep breeding. it took me about 17 eggs before i got my good charmander. it takes a while and you need patience.

 

[M3talHe4d]

i have patience lol..it took me 35 eggs to get the one i have now, im just not sure if i should keep him or try for a better one

 

[Twilit Dragoon]

Use that Charmander and another one that has better IV's or a Ditto with any flawless stat.

This really should go i the breeding sticky... you'll get better answers there....
The % thing means that at lower levels the IV's are harder to calculate and not always accurate so the % is the percentage accuracy that it is that number it gave.
And... when breeding.... the only way the everstone works in emerald is either on a female or a ditto where the ditto trumps the female (it has to hold it not the female).
