I'm confused on some steps on breeding pokemon with perfect IVs. I'm only focused on getting pokemon with 4 or 5 perfect IVs.
1. So the destiny knot is used when u have 1 pokemon with 2 perfect IVs & ditto with 2 different perfect IVs? Or is it used when u have 1 pokemon that has 3+ perfect IVs?
(So if I caught a male & female froakie in the friend safari each with 2 different ivs do I just breed them with 1 holding the destiny knot to get a baby with 3- 4 perfect ivs)
I'm mainly confused on the steps for getting the baby with 2+ ivs.
I'm not a complete expert on breeding. Of course the father can pass down the hidden ability now but only works when breeding with a ditto or a female with the HA. It's however a lower chance at passing down then the mother when breeding with a ditto. You actually get the highest chance to pass down the hidden ability if both the mother and father have the hidden ability.Mmk, I like to think I'm well versed in this whole breeding thing since I've had several near flawless Pokemon come out of these eggs. . .
But, lately, I've been trying to breed a HA Female Chespin with synthesis to later IV breed. I've been doing this for a few hours, and EVERY female I have gotten has Overgrow.
Both parents have Bulletproof so that's no problem.
I have several male Bulletproof Synthesis Chespin, but not a single female Bulletproof Synthesis Chespin.
I'm blaming it on bad luck, but I want to make sure that it's not just me doing something wrong. . .
Umbreon, depending on what you want, with those IV's it would make a great baton passer. I would say depending on your move set, 252 hp 200 def, 58 speed. making it great physical wall, or you could run curse payback, in which you would have 252 hp 100 attack, 158 defense, you could add some into sp def to protect from focus blast, as you will be cursing up.
Super Training is easier than getting pokerus and then finding a horde, it just takes (a little) more time...
You only need to get pokerus once and horde encounters are 100% with sweet scent.
And I fail to see how Super Training is "easier".
You can't semi-afk and Super Training 5 Pokemon takes about 3 1/2 - 4 hours, while horde EV-Training 5 pokemon takes at most 15 minutes if you're unlucky.
Of course you need to get the power items first, but even if you only EV a single pokemon, it's still 15 minutes tops vs. 45-50 minutes.
Does anyone know If their is a way to check the ivs of freshly hatched pokes? Apparently the battle maison doesn't auto lvl your pokes to 50 like the battle subway did and I hate trusting that guess-imating guy.
What kind of amazing lucky streak of timebending allows you to finish EV Training 5 Pokémon in a mere 15 Minutes?
Oh, Power Items and Pokérus. Remember that that may take time, and that you may not even encounter Pokérus at all, which is based entirely on chance, meaning that Super Training is easier since it has no luck or large chain of events required to start.

Well, just ask around and anyone will give you Pokerus. It's very widespread now, especially with wonder trade.
I infect and give away 10 Pokemon per day in wondertrade since I got pokerus, for example.
So that really shouldn't be the limiting factor, unless you can't go online with your 3ds, that would indeed be a problem.
And for the time-bending part: 1 horde battle with power item of the appropriate EV and Pokerus = 50/60/70 EV depending on which pokemon you're fighting (base 1/2/3 IVs).
So, for standard 252/252/4 spreads, that would be at most 12 battles + 1 round of super training for the 4 EV in the last stat.
Since hordes are in general very low levelled, you can easily oneshot them with a Sweet Scent Venusaur's Razor Leaf, freeing up to 5 party slots for EV-leeching Pokemon. (don't forget to turn on EXP Share >_>)
