Someone posted this on Kopitiam. Nostalgia.

I tried to get HP Ice for my Sceptile before, ended up with 31 IV in Atk, Sp.Atk and Speed instead. It's not very likely to happen. Even if you do get it, the power may be too low to be any useful. I still don't understand about this Hidden Power thing.

That's why physical build is preferred, Mega Horn will kill Grass types. If the IV of your Oshawott is below Superior, the Hidden Power it gets will be useless, too weak to be used.

Need Level, characteristics like Like to Trash About, Often Dozes Off, ect. HP type for more accurate calculation. Don't touch your new Oshawott at all. If you can, give it a few Rare Candies, jot down the info, and key into the calculator.

My goal in BW is to finish the game and play random wifi battles. Otherwise, there is nothing interesting in-game itself, it will get dull very quickly.

Another thing, being Alert to Sounds may not always be 31 IV, it can be less than that, you must check the parent with such characteristic first with the IV man before putting on Power Anklet and throw into the Daycare.

Have you bred one with 31 IV already?



This ^ 31 IV is only important for speed and attack/special attack stat. There are many perfectionists out there who wants very good IV. My Pokemons must have at least 2 maxed IV and the overall potential must be Outstanding, so that it can take hits better. I'm more like a breeder than a trainer.

I don't know how I will face Elite 4 soon with my Oshawott and Simisear alone, I'll need those strong Dragon Pokemons, like Haxorous.

Really, only those 2 are useable, the other is Gurdurr, it's too slow to do anything useful. I'm ready to face the ice gym leader. I just want to blaze through the game and Poketransfer!

That hydra dragon thing, I LIKE! It looks like the three-headed dragon in Godzilla movie. Man, these Pokemons are really appealing, I'm already thinking of breeding these new babies. I don't know what Pokemons to stick to!

I still haven't received the shiny dogs in my HG, due the the IV crap, not even my Mew and Latias.



My Simisear will kill the Ice Pokemons easily, it's fast. I'm this lazy coz there is no point leveling these Pokemons I'm not going to use after I can Poketransfer. I think Pokemon was more fun before the discovery about IV and EV. Edit: Nevermind, I just creamed all of them using my Lv 39 Oshawott alone, Sword Dance, Scald, Aqua Jet and Shell Blade.

You will want to watch for "Outstanding potential!" "Superior potential" is not bad either, it depends on your own own preference. Outstanding is not easy to get. These have to do with the AVERAGE total of all the IVs of that Pokemon.

The second comment is about the highest value of all the Stats. This, you watch for "It can't be better in that regard!" = confirm 31 IV in that stat. Talk to him more than 1 time and if your Pokemon has more than 1 max IV, he will tell it, so watch out!

As long as the Pokemons are in the same egg group according to bulbapedia, they will breed, it just takes more time to get the eggs. They will still produce eggs no matter what. Edit: sorry, misread your sentence, yeah, if the Daycareman says the Pokemon prefers to play with others, that means it will not produce eggs.

Have you got any good Pokemons through trades already??

Where have you reached? I used lots of dirty tactics and luck to win those gym leaders.

------------------

Hydreigon and Druddigon, which one to choose?, tough decision! I seem to like the redhead thing better...

Now I only have 1 worry, it's the Zekrom... It's the crap which you must capture the Zekrom, and can't defeat it and leave it for later use. I'm going to get stuck there soon because of my perfectionism.

What he wants is a Mankey or any leftover Pokemons with max IVs, speed, attack or special attack.

I can't battle yet, wifi not fixed, BW not completed yet.

Don't get fed up yet! That new Zorua with Outstanding potential is great for breeding! There are chances of passing down it's outstanding IVs randomly, and the chances the new offspring will be Outstanding will INCREASE too! Keep it! It makes a great parent.



For competitive plays, no. It's a disadvantage.

I'm also thinking of breeding Zoroark too, if I continue to dream and breed like this, I'll never have the time to actually play on wifi battles. Zoroark is powerful, a great mixed sweeper.

Grats to you, finally! Yes, you can, but it will be really frustrating, 3 maxed IV with Outstanding potential is even more harder! Now you will want to EV train that Chimchar. I would recommend Sword Dance set, your new Chimchar is really good enough, don't think more!

I still remember when I was breeding my Treecko, aiming for 31 Speed, Sp.Atk and Attack, I was going crazy already with that, nearly falling asleep all the time, don't do it if you can.

Nature is not a problem at all, you have something called Everstone. Ability, gender are far harder as you can't control that.

It's called soft-resetting for me, it's pretty easy once you understand how it works. With this method, you can retain the Nature, Ability and Gender that you want, ALL THE TIME! then soft-reset until it gets Outstanding potential and max IVs.

@xShinji, a Power Item with Everstone is really the best way of breeding good babies. I tried with both Power Items alone before and it sucks.

Relatively Superior and Outstanding with 3 Maxed IVs,... hard to settle down.

So now I've reached Elite 4, with Oshawott(lv48+), Druddigon(Lv48+), Simisear(lv40+), Durant(lv30+), Excadrill(Lv30+, newly caught) and the baby eagle, lv20+.

I stand no chance against them. I miss my Baton Pass Gliscor.
