Breeding

Is breeding really worthy of it? i mean, getting a pokemon with perfect nature can take hours, getting good pokemons for breeding is hard and getting good egg moves for pokemon that you breed for is hard. Id rather catch my pokemons from wild and take a few legendaries to support them. EV's or natures doesn't really matter to me, it is enough that they are strong, and if they are'nt... I just play with my legendaries and use exp.share. Easier than breeding. Anyone agree?
 
yes, i dont like to breed either. if im in a situation where i have to breed to get a specific move and nature, i just ask for the pokemon i want and trade one of my many event legends for one^_^
 
I breed sometimes, especially when I'm don't feel like fighting all the time. You're right, it takes a lot of time to get a good nature through breeding but odds are the same as when catching one (unless you happen to have Emeral that is). As for the moves, you can sort of predict what they'll be, especially if teh father knows a TM or two.
As for your choise to battle with legendaries; I've got nothing against them, this includes to Ubers, but if you only use them because they are easier to get, with a Master Ball I assume, it's kidn of lame. But if you liek it, there's nothing I can do about it to make you change your mind.
 
I breed for IVs/Natures and EV train Pokémons. I don't feel its that time consuming. Also, in the end you get access to good Pokémons. Unlike legendaries, you are forced to soft-rest until your preferred one appears. There is no way to increases the chances.
 
I breed most of the time.

I like the high I get when I breed a high IV/right Natured Pokemon.

Yes.

Natures are more important than IV's, so if you can't be bothered to IV breed, at least try and get a good nature.

And egg moves aren't that difficult to get.

And I'd rather breed mine so that they're actually good.

That's a surprise...

Which they won't be if you don't IV breed/EV train them.

What good does the exp.share do?


Easier than breeding.

But with far worse results...

Well, what do you think?


EDIT: Let me show you something; I'll use my favourite Pokemon, Dragonite, for this demonstration(and please do correct me if my calculations are wrong):

An Adamant (+attack -spatt) natured Dragonite with a 31 att IV/252 att EV's will have an attack stat of 403 at LV100.

A Modest (+spatt -attack) natured Dragonite with a 0 att IV/0 att EV's will have an attack stat of 236 at LV100

Yeah, Natures/IV's/EV's aren't important and make no real difference...

yes it is worthed
my 400 atk, 220 spd tyranitar with dragon dance is really nice (didn't went for an 31 IV in atk because the combination of 400 atk with a high speed was sooo good)

It is 245 atk at lv 100, but is still extremely low: IV's and EV's are necessary to have a good team
 
It's well worth it. If you do it the right way, it doesn't take too long.

You know, once you get a pokemon with really good IVs (let's use a 31 HP / 31 Atk / 31 Def / 15 Sp.Atk / 31 Sp.Def / 31 Spd Gliscor for example) you can trade it to other people for pokemon that they bred. Since the Gliscor is really good, many people will want it and offer you something with great IVs. This only works well if you clone, anti-cloners fail. So theoretically, you can get your whole team off of one pokemon with great IVs from breeding. I don't know about you, but I think it's worth it.
 
Read what everybody has said, especially Heliotrope. If you want to be a good battler, breeding is worth of it. :/
 
I am currently breeding for a chansy. The parents are a chansey with 31 IVs in Def and SpDef and a Ditto with 31 IVs in Hp. Now say that breeding isn't worth it when you battle a Blissey with 714 Hp and a very good SpDef stat to back it up!
 
I breed, a lot. The 3-4 full boxes of Eevee(lutions) is proof.


Rather it be for competitive purposes or just to hatch prevo's, breeding takes time, but the benefits are well worth it. ;133;
 
I hate to breed in pearl, the eggs hatch tad late right, and sometimes you need a male pokemon and you get female, female, female...

and its a tad late to hatch it
 
i like breeding when i get tired of fighting. its quite enjoyable actually in my opinion, and you might get good pokemon to trade and battle with.
 
This is what I think what makes your Pokemon the best: IVS>EVS=Nature=IVs
And if your just gonna raise some legendaries with no ev/iv/nature affection, then its gonna suck and you are gonna end up battling a pro who has OU and maybe BL< and their gonna comment about you to other people.
 
If you want egg moves and spread around TMs you must breed. That and passing natures is the only reason I breed and I don't look at IVs so that doesn't concern me.
