Which Ralts should I breed with?

Well, I've been breeding Ralts forever now, and I've got some pretty good ones. I now have 2 females, but I can't choose which one to breed with.

Here are the participants' IVs:

Female Candidate #1

Female Candidate #2

NOTE:

They will be breeding with this male:

As you can see, ralts # 2 has absolutely shocking HP IVs, but very good speed ones (compared to ralts # 1) Whereas Ralts # 1 has average HP and shocking speed. And the male has above average in both HP and Speed, although shocking defense, unlike both females. So which female should I use with this male? (it's the best male I've got).

Candidate #1 imo. Calm > Sassy, even if Calm has a 1 in Spd it will be faster than a Sassy with 31 in Spd.

The nature don't matter at all, don't take them into an account, because I'm just using these pokemon for the IVs, for breeding until I breed a modest Ralts, which I will actually use on my team.

That's what I thought too...

I mean, IN GENERAL with something like an gardie, 31 extra hp isnt a HUGE amount. All I can hope is that the modest one I eventually get will have at least 15 HP IVs.

Hasty Ho Oh
Is this on Emerald????

Otherwise u have not put effort points into the eqaution...Unless thay have no EP's on any stat, which is very unlikely at Lv 29....Those figures are wrong

Im not a retard -_-

They don't have any EVs, they're all trained via Day Care.

PS: What difference would it make if it was on Emerald?

lol, beanoboy's just spamming.

Anyway, you don't know much about breeding, do you?

I'd suggest breeding with #1 first to get that Sp Att and Speed right first. Then use the male offspring with awesome Sp Att and Speed and breed it with #2, for better overall IVs.

That's the way dedicated breeding works, not just some one-off crap process.

candidate #1

when they breed, 3 stats from either parent are automatically passed down, now if one of those stats is Sp.Atk, then theres a chance you'll get a 31, but if you chose #2 then you'd be stuck with 30 all of the time

Insert witty title
31 is nice, but I don't think 1 point really matters unless you are going for all perfect 31s.

Sorry...lol....On Emerald there is a berry that lets u take off EV's...U might of used that to get 0 EV's.

Lol, that's ok.

Yes, I know, once again, I'm not a retard. And the one that had min of 30 and max of 31, is 31, They're both from the same parent (the IV that is)



Anyway, it doesn't really matter because I've now bred 2 totally different parents with very nice IVs all round.
 

BAM

Not the finger!!!
I would think #2 is better because it has way better Ivs in speed than #1. And its Sp.A is only one lower. Its Hp is alot lower though.
