Well, I just spent a few hours resetting my Emerald over and over again, throwing a Master Ball at Kyogre hundreds of times.
I've been going for one with 31 IVs in HP, in order to get 101 HP Substitutes at level 100, and... I finally got one! Hooray! However, as excited as this makes me, I am less than pleased with his other IVs...
He got 29 Attack IVs, but I highly doubt that I'll ever teach him a physical Attack move, so although it's nice, it's a waste. When it comes to Special Attack though, he only got 10 or 11 IVs.
With its 10-11 Sp. Attack IVs and a Mild nature, my Kyogre will have 415 or 416 Sp. Attack at level 100.
At the same time, a neutral natured Kyogre with the maximum 31 IVs and in Sp. Attack would only have 399 Sp. Attack. My Kyoger beats this by 16-17 points, even with his crappy IVs.
However, if my Kyogre didn't have such crappy IVs, his 415-416 Sp. Attack could be higher - up to 438 with maximum IVs. I know that I shouldn't expect maximum IVs in HP -and- Sp. Attack, but still, even with just "average" IVs of about 16 in Sp. Attack (instead of crappy 10-11), my Kyogre would still get at least 7 more points of Sp. Attack.
So, what do you think... should I save my game, or reset again and try for a higher Sp. Attack? What would you do?
