I stopped for the night after this due to how frustrated I was.

I am going to barf...just hatched another larvesta that has near perfect on used defense stats...the bad part, it is on a larvesta and not a wall. Still would make a great bulky, though. If only these IV's where on a non-offensive wall... :cry:
Considering Quiver Dance, that slightly above average SpcDef will be easily cleaned up. Along with that horrible SpcAtk and Spd. Though I still think it would work slightly better with TR team. Specs it and Fiery Dance. Still too "niche" to be effective though...

I could still see it effective with a TR/Sunny Day-Exploder Lead. That would be a very nice combo with this IV spread.

Oh by the way, I use Rare Candies to elevate levels to get a more accurate depiction, then I calculate IV's. So these are accurate.

Hatched a Larvesta with Max attack IVs...31. It also had max HP IV's 31, but 0 Defense IV's. I snarled at the DS. Mainly because it was meant for another Larvesta, not mine...Though that is pretty solid, it would be great for a Larvesta, not a Volcarona.

Another Larvesta, semi-okay, not great though. If that stupid attack was speed...only if...

I think I can settle for this Larvesta. The averaged IV is ~23. Though for actual used stats it is ~23.8, which is considered in the second-to-best tier for average IV's. So i guess i am pretty satisfied.

Not superb, but I did get this one too, but since this is the last Volcarona from this Nature series I will be needing, it will just be put as trade fodder.

Time to start on the next nature series for Volcarona. Though I think I will wait and do my last Bold-set Milotic build. Time for Feebas grinding again!

Finally got good Ferro-parents. Take a look at these! I have more than one, will post later gotta do sumthin.
Ferrothorn
30/28/30/x/29/23, nomnomnom! Almost beats my Dusknoir overall! :D

30/13/23/x/26/12

30/29/19/x/29/9 Very cool as well. Best candidate for curse-rester. Due to high attack and only 19 def iv.

Well after finishing with my Trial and Error Jellicent about a month ago. I think it is due time to start up my Competitive Jellies.
This is my best so far for a parent jelly. It was a pain at first, considering I had to go back and breed in SPCDEF IV's. That was all those T&R Jellies were missing. They averaged mid to high 20's in IV's, but due to low SpcDef, I had to go back and restart my Jelly breeding
Momma jelly
31/x/17/27/23/29 not superb but a good start to begin my breeding in of IV's, considering max HP.

Hatched another jelly that had near perfect in the defensive category. Perfect health, 30 spcdef, and 28-29 in defense. Though I had to put it into the dud box due to 0-1 IV's in the SpcAtk stat...I am getting closer though!

Here's another, but oohhh so close. HP needs to be better, and it has the wrong ability. DUD BOX! XD

Re: The IV Thread?

Managed to catch a shiny Solosis the other day, just checked its IV's today after evolving it to a Reuniclus:

Bold
Magic Guard
28
15
27
31
28
24

This was my first test with using RNG values; I thought I was doing it wrong until I got this guy. I would have liked a lower Speed IV, but it'll do; it's still the slowest thing in battles.

Using a moveset with:
Recover
Psyshock
Trick Room
Focus Blast

This thing can't die. Srsly. Since I'll get hit first turn, I activate Trick Room, then use Recover to get close to Max HP. I have Leftovers, too, which'll let it recover about 16 HP every turn. Magic Guard lets me ignore status, Stealth Rock, and weather, which keeps it out longer. Spam Psyshock or Focus Blast for maximum damage, hitting first due to Trick Room, making this guy a powerful sweeper. Provided Trick Room's still in effect, of course.

Those are tasty IV's...i wish they were on my Milotic. :cry:

I like that build, I just hope you don't get out-stalled with it though. Mainly due to that low acc. on Focus Blast. But overall I think that is a good choice to kind of trump buff-stallers, due to the occasional SPCDEF lowering. Also TR is good so in case you do get stalled out or predict a stall. That way you can easily safe-switch over to a stall-trumper with low speed. Recover is a great choice with that Magic Guard abilty.

The great King Cofagrigus bestows greatness on this build!

Though I do have to ask, what do u plan on pair-sponging with this build? I think a slow Steel-phazer to cancel out buff-stallers would go great with it like Bastiodon or maybe Curse+Rest Steelix.

But that is just my defense talking. I'm sure you know what you are doing.

Oh, that is even better. Steel pair-sponge with that Reuniclus allows that slightly extra weakness to fire. So that allows steel to be safely added into your team. Due to one of its few weaknesses being fire.

Yay, now that we have rebeled and thrown King Cofa into his tomb, I can post my IV spam again!

Gigalith - Only took me 2 hours to get this one. I am just good like that. 8-)
30/30/30/23/~29/10
Who cares about speed and that "wimpy" 23 IVs in SpcAtk :lol: , this thing rocknrollas! It averages nearly 30 IVs in used stats. It was so fun checking this batches IVs considering with each hatch they were averaging 26 IVs with each new baby hatched. :lol: And they all ended up being thrown in the dud box! 26 IVs and they were trash! :lol:

I decided to breed another Bastiodon, and lookie what I got in just under 3 hours of multi-gen breeding
31/20/30/x/30/3
Might I say...yum! Considering this Bastiodon also has no direct way of damaging. Averaging 30 IVs in all defensive stats. Though I could say that 3 speed could have been better, but it IS in a TR team.

Clefable, decided to breed another one because I got bored and wanted to try a different type of non-staller Clefable
29/x/30/27/28/26
Averages 28 IVs overall. This one only took me about an hour and 30 minutes to get.

I also finally got around to breeding a phazer Altaria. Can't remember exact IVs but it average around 26 IVs overall. Pretty solid considering the only thing missing was speed...which I could not care less about.

I forgot that I also did my 5th or 6th (can't remember, trained too many poke) Bronzong build a couple of weeks ago. I forgot the IV's and I cant check due to me not remembering how I spread the EV's. But I do know that it HAD to average around 28 average IV's for me to even consider keeping it. This one was a pain to breed too, due to no genders...again. I hate breeding with no genders.

Sorry for the doulbe post...it seems I am the only one who is caring enough about IV's to post them right now. lol, jk

After a few weeks from taking a break from IV breeding while mainly playing Shoddy Battle and testing movesets, I have got back into breeding yet again. I have started again with my Ferrothorns, I think this is at least my 8th Ferro build I have done.

Anyway here are some more Ferro IV spams!

This one was Bashful...and female, so I can't use it for breeding. I nearly cried when I saw this one.
30/25/30/27/30/27
It will be a trophy Ferro at least...

This one was perfect...until the HP decided to poop out.
Sassy
21/29/31/x(13)/31/27

These next two I am currently using to breed more. Though it should go unsaid, one is male and the other is female. Both Sassy and egg moves are in place. So time to SUPA GRIND!
30/23/30/x/29/15 Female
30/27/30/x/29/17 Male
Though on any other normal pokemon I would complain that the speed was too low, but it is Ferro...what am I talking about, Speed is trash! lol

After these Ferro I am working on a Phazer D-nite and a Forretress. I have not done either of these since before the 3rd gen...

After a days worth of breeding I give you my best Ferro by far! This is also probably my best IV hatch ever as well!
176 out of a possible 186 points! That is insane!!! 150 and above is considered outstanding! 8O
Sassy
31/27/31/27/31/29
TAKE THAT WORLD! lol

I did crazy poke-breeding over the weekend, lookie wut I got!

I always wanted an Eviolite Dusclops...so I bred one...or two...lol
31/23/31/x/31/27
31/31/31/x/25/23


Whimsicott (Trolololoosicott, lol)
31/21/31/31/27/23

Forretress. the attack on the second does not matter at all due to Rapid Spin being used for aux use over damage.
31/25/29/29/27/13
31/x(9)/31/29/27/23


Finally after nearly 2 months of on and off breeding I can now say I have the perfect Jellicent. This was definetly the hardest pokemon to breed ever. First off: It had to be Male, then there was the ability, and add in egg moves while attaining the correct nature. Percetage wise I only had a 12% chance of hatching the correct attributes, on top of that I had to shoot for perfect IVs, and here we are! :) I am so happy I got this Jelly!
31/21/31/31/31/31
This Jelly is now tied for the best hatch ever for me!

Also I have looked through the entire thread and found no better hatch. Can I get a prize for hatching the best IVed poke!?

I have been using Spore/SubPunch Breloom a bunch in shoddy and I really like it in rain and sun teams. (grass types do well in coverage for both weather team builds, imo) So i decided to breed one in-game for competitive use and lookie what I got...
31/31/31/21/31/25
I must say, I am getting good at this breeding thang - :lol:
I was trying to breed in a perfect 31 speed from the father's IVs but I figured since Breloom is one of those pokes that does not depend on speed (though it is a sweeper) it depends more on its moveset and speed means nothing for subpunching...unless i run into another Breloom with 31 speed ivs...

Reuniclus. Nuff said.
Still working on a better one, lol...
31/23/31/29/31/31
So this one (hopefully) is not the last Reuniclus IV I list.

But what would the prize be? Something with... potentially equivalent IVs? Lol.

Nice work. I'd try trading with you but then I eventually just accept defeat and settle for mediocre IVs. Especially if the egg moves, ability and nature all have to work out first. At that point its like, "10 off? Screw it. ...Shit, time for EVs..."

Yea, something like that.

Omg, ikr. Ditto plz! 31 IVs across the board: Make my life easier! :lol:

Though I sort of did get a prize for that Jellicent. Due to it being in the Amorphous egg group I was able to use it as a father to get an easy quick start on breeding in 31 IVs into my Reuniclus. 8-) Pretty sneaky, sis...

Odd how it turned out that way. >.<

So more about that Reuniclus...
I tried for a week to get a perfect 31 IVed Solosis, but for some reason of the luck fairy not wanting to deficate on me, it would always end up with perfect (or near) IVs but with the wrong ability. :lamez0rz:

I was using the Reuniclus I posted earlier as the father (as it also had the wrong ability) and I was using this one as the mother for a very long time:
31/23/31/31/20-21/31/31

I was hoping to pass the 29 spcatk (or better) from the father to the baby as well as the 31 IVs on the remainder of the used stats from the mother.

But like I said they kept coming up with the wrong ability. So i said whatever, it uses CM anyway what is the difference of 10 base points missing when your SpcAtk is buffed in the 1000's.

So I just used the mother as the final product as it had the Bold nature and Magic Guard. EVed it up last night and I am enjoying the use of it today. Not perfect, but it still averages 29 IVs in used stats.

Well, I've oodles of pokes I wanna post!

Hippowdon, I wanted a Slack Off Hippo for a long time.
Impish - 31/31/31/19/31/15 --- 31/31/29/27/31/23

When you redo a Hippo, you need to redo a TTar. The only one I bred was one from RSE and it had a non-bulk offensive build. Now I wanted a SpcWall TTar with ParaFlinch. When you build pokes like this it is always best to go with the Highest natural stat to increase with the nature; this way you have the largest natural increase in used stats. Adamant is best for this, still with no EV's in Attack.
Adamant - 30/27/27/27/27/31 --- Bold - 30/27/30/27/29/27 (This one was bold and I used it as the father. I posted because it was the best TTar I hatched IV-wise. ~170 Total IVs.)
Obviously not perfect but I got tired of breeding TTars. Nothing special about this poke, just to supplement the Hippo's natural Physical Bulk with a Special Bulk poke.

Now for the list of Legends from BW...finally got all the ones you can get in-game. I did not want to wast too much time soft reseting for most of these legends besides Thundurus, Landorus, and Terrakion. Though most of these are just above average there are a few ~150 IVs.

Landorus, this one was hilarious. I got the desired nature of docile (neutral) because I was shooting for a solid Hidden Power as well. When I checked for the HP it was either going to be Electric, Grass or Ground. I was obviously hoping for Ice but Electric or Grass would have been fine on Landorus. - it was HP Ground... :lamez0rz: *facedesk*
Docile - 9/29/29/x(2)/27-29/23 I decided to x the spcatk now that it was worthless - *facefloor*

Thundurus, I personally dont care much for this one for competitive use "very" much because Zapdos does a better job offensively and bulk wise, prankster can only do so much with Taunt when it is so fragile.
Hardy - 6/24/24/17/22/26

Terrakion, this poke is a solid OU sweeper but is better in lower tier SS teams. It is also great because of the rock typing. That way it will have larger bulk against SpcAttacker/PhysicalWall pokes that would normally be a problem.
Lonely - 25/31/3/27/8/22 I probably like this one the most out of all the legends I got from BW.

Virizion, I dont care much for Virizion much besides for Calm Mind, but then this one was Brave and I was like oooh. CM and Brave Nature. This is great for Virizion due to its ability that increases Attack when hit by a Dark type (that it would sponge anyway) So I decided to go with CM, Giga Drain, Focus Blast, and Sacred Sword as the Physical Attack. I love this set very much!
Brave - 27/31/17/19/30/19

Cobalion, not much I can say about this poke though that stat-wise it is perfect for CM. Though only great for UU, Lucario does a better job in OU.

I know I probably missed it somewhere, but how does one go about seeing what the IVs on a Pokémon is without an Action Replay, at least if that's possible?
