Did he essentially say that every stat is a gigantic pile of shit? If he didn't then you don't have straight 0's.

If it's zero, the IV judge will speak in disapproval of the stat.

I play in Italian, that's why I'm in doubt.

Any tips for passing down a hidden ability? Caught myself a Shelgon with Overcoat, but the nature is no good

 

[Anteo]

So yesterday I went to the Safari to get some Rilous, and checking their IV's today, 2 of them have 4 perfect and the other 2 has 3 perfect. So.. was I just lucky? Or there is something else that affects the IV's from safari, like if the person is online or how many mons you ahve on your dex or something?

60% chance when breeding a female with ha and a male with whatever ability (ha or not) of the same species, or 60% chance when breeding a male with the ha and a ditto. 0% for anything else

So basically get the other parent to have the ability you want.

Safari 'mons are guaranteed to have at least 2 perfect IV's

 

[spindashing]

Plus, Riolu are baby Pokemon.

Those mons, like Togepi and Pichu, are guaranteed 3 perfect Ivs I think.

still have one ? Have some 4+ immunity gligars, charmanders, abra, Pumpkaboo and venipede.

I'd gladly take a 4 IV Pumpkaboo.

 

[fredrancour]

I think I might have a six 0 IV pokemon. But I don't know what the IV judge is supposed to say. Are anyone able to help me IV check via battle?

He calls out each stat that is a zero by name with a critical comment like "but how can you make it through battle with defense that low?" Or "an attack stat like that won't even scratch you opponent" if you hear 6 specific douchey criticisms the pokemon has straight zeros. He only does that for things that are exactly 0.

 

[Akai__]

Anyone with a Gliscor in here? I need to see one for completing the Pokedex.

 

[Morokh]

I'd gladly take a 4 IV Pumpkaboo.

Edit : be online in a min FC is in my profile

Yeah I know about the 2 IV, but I was wondering if something makes them have more than 2 perfect IV, this is the first time I ever got a pokemon with 4 IV from the safari. And that was 2 in a row.

Plus, Riolu are baby Pokemon.

Those mons, like Togepi and Pichu, are guaranteed 3 perfect Ivs I think.
.

Ohhhh.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Reposting chances for getting at least a certain number of 31 IVs:

Wild:
At least 1: 17.34% (about 1 in 6)
At least 2: 01.35% (about 1 in 74)

Wild Friend Safari (guaranteed 2):
At least 3: 11.93% (about 1 in 8)
At least 4: 00.56% (about 1 in 178)

Wild No Egg Group (guaranteed 3):
At least 4: 09.09% (about 1 in 11)
At least 5: 00.29% (about 1 in 348)

Likewise. My FC is in mine as well.

The Italian translation is different it seems. I'm guaranteed 5 zeros, and the sixth is either zero or the other lowest rank. But I don't know.

 

[Growlie19]

Anyone with a Gliscor in here? I need to see one for completing the Pokedex.

I'll be glad to help. My FC is 0473-8103-8668.

 

[Solid Samus]

What's even the point of a six 0 IV Pokemon? Are they used for that pseudo-RNG breeding method that I mostly don't understand?

 

[MicH]

Anyone up for a battle? Or perhaps a Multibattle? I've yet to try it out (need 3 other people though)

 

[Kinokou]

That's the point. And I would really like some help to check since I have no clue what the judge will say if everything is zero in either English or Italian.

 

[Akai__]

I'll be glad to help. My FC is 0473-8103-8668.

Thank you. My FC is 2079-6846-8773. Would be awesome, if we could trade it back and forth.

Edit: Thank you Growlie19, much appreciated.

 

[Protag]

Don't you love it when you find something on the GTS and they are actually asking for something reasonable. Lol

OH hell yes.

For example - an alazkazam for a gengar both in the same lvl field

 

[DedValve]

I cannot be bothered IV breeding which sucks since I'll be at such a big disadvantage when I actually want to just battle people competitively

I hate IV's

 

[Cloud Strife]

4/5 IV's done for my Gligar...can't believe how people did this prior to Gen 6

You really won't be.

IV bred Pokémon are nice and all but strategy and a well balanced team are good factors too.

 

[upandaway]

Could use a bit of advice here, you guys. So my battle facility team in gen 5 was:

Starmie @ Choice Specs, Modest
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Surf

Volcarona @ Lum Berry, Modest
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Flamethrower
- Psychic (will replace this with Hurricane)

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers, Careful
- Gyro Ball
- Curse
- Leech Seed
- Substitute

But now I don't really wanna use Ferrothorn anymore, because he makes every battle last 10x longer and that's not a good idea for my sanity in Maison. My plan is really to switch on special peeps to Volcarona, and physical peeps to Ferrothorn, then set up, or stay with Starmie when I can't.

So to replace Ferrothorn, does anyone have a good idea for a physical Pokemon that can set up safely? Perhaps a Mega Evolution. I'd appreciate any ideas regarding the other 2, too.

 

[DedValve]

You really won't be.

IV bred Pokémon are nice and all but strategy and a well balanced team are good factors too.

But what if strategy I enjoy involves speed? Welp I guess I'm SoL in that case.

The only pokemon I'll IV breed is Vulpix and thats only because I want a shiny one so might as well try upping her IV's while I'm at it.

Then just make sure you pass down the speed IV with a power item and don't bother about the rest of them, easy as pie


@spindashing : thx for the Kanga

 

[Anteo]

Wait, so Carbink has stealth rock and screens? Well now I'm interested.

Anyone has one with the Hidden Ability?

Mega Lucario might work.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

There are nearly 40 people here with Hidden Ability Carbink. That's how stupidly popular it was in the last 2 weeks.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

I think a Walnut.

made me lol

 

[PreyingShark]

While we're on the topic, I'd like someone to hook me up with Hidden Ability Carbink. I'll continue searching for it later myself if I have to, though. ;P

 

[EMT0]

You say that like it's a bad thing

 

[Alucrid]

Do I have to buy Y to get Charizard Y?

 

[MicH]

Do I have to buy Y to get Charizard Y?

Unless you are able to trade for it, yes

 

[Morokh]

Does anyone have a female Charmander with perfect Sp.def, and Speed IV's ? don't have a single one with those stats after two boxes :x

 

[Anteo]

There are nearly 40 people here with Hidden Ability Carbink. That's how stupidly popular it was in the last 2 weeks.

I was thinking about getting a second Klefki that used screens and spikes, but Carbink sounds like a better idea with those base stats.

Klefki kind of has has the element of surprise since everyone will expect SwagKey

 

[theprodigy]

Not really, why expect the inferior version

 

[upandaway]

Mega Lucario might work.

Hmm, what's a good Mega Lucario defensive set up build? He doesn't seem to have good defensive stats, how well can he switch into things and set up?

 

[Tenck]

That IV guy is a massive troll.

"Your pokemon has superior Potential " Names Attack and speed.

"Your pokemon has average potential" Names Hp, attack, SpDef, and speed.

 

[B-Dubs]

Hmm, what's a good Mega Lucario defensive set up build? He doesn't seem to have good defensive stats, how well can he switch into things and set up?

Ahh, you wanted something defensive? Try Mega Venasaur then. Megas don't get a whole lot more defensive.

 

[Blasty]

[Unicorn]

That IV guy is a massive troll.

"Your pokemon has superior Potential " Names Attack and speed.

"Your pokemon has average potential" Names Hp, attack, SpDef, and speed.

That second one must have absolutely dreadful Def and SpA while the first is more well-rounded.

 

[DaBoss]

Aggron

 

[hemtae]

That second one must have absolutely dreadful Def and SpA while the first is more well-rounded.

The second one also has no perfect IVs.

 

[Charlie0108]

Does anyone have any Smeargle or Clauncher with a few IVs? I have Gale Wings Fletchling and Sturdy Carbink to trade.

 

[upandaway]

Ahh, you wanted something defensive? Try Mega Venasaur then. Megas don't get a whole lot more defensive.

I'm still not really sure what to do, my basic idea is a physical Pokemon that I can switch into as many things as possible to set up. It would help if I knew what to watch out for in regards to Volcarona and Starmie's weaknesses in my set, but I have no clue. My only fight this gen was Whippy where he destroyed my in-game team.

 

[Kamina]

Is anyone IV breading Zorua?

Aggron

WHOA what the hell is that ability. Holy crap. So SE moves do 1.5 damage? Dude.

 

[DaBoss]

You can also breed a female with the hidden ability with a Ditto and it will have a 60% chance too.

WHOA what the hell is that ability. Holy crap. So SE moves do 1.5 damage? Dude.

Yea.
