What's the characteristic that means it has good IVs in Attack? I want to SR for an adamant one too, but since it's low level the IV's won't be as accurate as one at level 50.

"Likes to thrash about" is the Attack one IIRC, which I have only had on 1 Torchic so far that was Modest...*sigh* Good luck in your resetting! =D

Just picked up my game and choose Froakie! Never really picked the water one on my first playthrough, so will be interesting

Now also soft resetting for a decent torchic.
But I don't think I'm even going to use it during playthrough.

Characteristics don't guarantee anything.
You could have "likes to thrash about" and have an attack IV of 1, when everything else would be 0.
Yes, it is the only one that can be 31. But it can also be 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31.
Just use the IV Calc.
If you have an adamant one that likes to thrash about and it has 20 att; = 26 IV, if it has 22 = 31 IV.

its just a little darker, i wouldnt notice it at all if i didnt saw the shining part, it evolves to the moth if male and then its wings will be blue in the tips, its a average miscrit for a shiny, not going to use him in competitive gameplays but i will train him for fun

Upon reaching Aquacorde Town, I chose Froakie as my starter. I proceeded to catch many Pokémon, then made my way through Santalune Forest. I spent quite some time on Route 22 searching for a male Litleo, but I didn't bother catching the first one as it had Rivalry. However, the second male I encountered (about forty minutes later) also had the ability of Rivalry. I gave in and caught it, then trained it in preparation for the Gym. The battle against Viola was very unexciting. My Fletchling defeated her Surskit, while Litleo took on Vivillion. With the Bug Badge in my possession, I healed my Pokémon and saved my game.

Holy! Ambush!!!!
About 4 hours in. Got my first badge and I've explored a bit of Lumiose City. Recently, went searching around Route 5 for a Male Panchamp (Which wasn't as frustrating as searching for a male Litleo, but I digress), then a shiny Bunnelby showed up! I managed to catch it too, so needless to say I'm well chuffed!

Yeah I'm aware of this, thank you =) I was going for the "Check for Characteristic then proceed to IV check if the right char comes along" method =P Long drawn out process, I know but so worth it <3
