Just a tip for anyone who wants to do a lot of breeding, work on building what I call the Hexperfect 7. What this does is gives you a father to use no matter what pokemon you want to breed that will have 6iv's to pass on (so if you use destiny knot the child has a really good chance of getting at least a few perfect IVs, especially if the mother has 3-4). The ones I use are Bulbasaur(Monster/Grass), Shellos(Water1/Amorphous), Magikarp(Water2/Dragon), Archen(Water3/Flying), Volbeat(Bug/Human-like), Snorunt(Mineral/Fairy), and Smeargle(Field). It may take a while to get to it, as it will require some luck, but if you manage to breed a male of each of those with 6 perfect IVs then you will have a father for every egg group. You can modify the pokemon you need a bit, but I haven't been able to figure out a combo that gets it down to 6 pokemon yet. Good luck and may your eggs be full of shinies.
zayn maraj give destiny knot to pokemon with most ivs, everstone to nature you want. If next pokemon has more iv than original than give it the destiny knot
Aidan Moran not stupid, but more like i havemt dome amy research before but just played thr gsme and never did any. Breeding until after this video. So more like unaware, not stupid.
This video was released 5 years ago and the last comment was 3 weeks ago. This just shows how great these games are people are watching tutorials 5 years later.
The stars representing the IVs is actually a missconception... I also used to believe that too, but everytime I went to calculate the IVs of the pokémon I catched, I found out that it doesn't exactly works like that (even though a pokémon with 3 stars DO can have 3 IVs)... The thing you're seeing there is (as the game say) the potential of that pokémon [The Pokémon can potentially have Great IVs]; having a star gives you automatically 1 IV at 31, but all the other stats can vary, however, those are probably low, 2 stars gives you at least 1 stat at 31 but the other stats will probably be regular (with the possibility of 2 IVs); as for 3 stars, you have at least 1 IV, and all the other stats are rather good (from 25 to 30), but not perfect (also with the possibility to have 3 IVs at 31). I've been doing chains and stuff like that for shinines and discovered this by accident because I thought that I'd use those pokémon for breeding later, anyways, hope you appreciate this info and share it for the world! UGH... that took a lot to write...
Amber, it took me WAY TOO MUCH, certainly is easier to just go and catch dittos and breed with them, but this did help for getting the correct abilities
Well i must say I got extremely lucky then xD I actually was really bored and was dexnaving and found a tailow with 3 stats and hidden ability, and i went to the IV Judge later and twas 5IV lol.
I was breeding for Shiny Shinx at Battle Resort, and wanted to breed another Pokémon without taking my Luxray and Japanese Emolga out of the Daycare at the Battle Resort. So I went to the Daycare on Route 117 to breed for a Dedenne. Then when I went to hatch that Dedenne egg along with my last batch of Shinx eggs from Battle Resort, I had a Shiny Shinx hatch on Route 117 with Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Quick Attack and Hidden Power Grass. She had Jolly Nature with Intimidate ability and with "Serperior" IVs in HP, Defense and Special Defense.
+mattyburrito MB They can have all stats maxed out like Ally Mitchell said but since the Destiny Knot only passes along 5 stats the 6th stat will be left up to chance (so you have a 1 in 31 chance of getting that final perfect IV).
Despite my dislike for Verlisify I must admit this is a pretty good guide (even if not the best articulated guide) that does tell you pretty much everything you need from scratch. Well done Verlisify.
for those who don't understand what he meant: when you see the shops for moves in exchange for bp, hug the one sticking out the farthest, then when you're as close as possible, press left, then when you get to a corner, hold up, then you go in a loop until you let go of up, you'r welcome :) also how many times do you have to battle the young couple to get the destiny knot, can you get it with a pokemon that knows pickup, and how do you get both bikes? or what do you mean?
Ramon de Jong Yea, I at least do Nature breeding. IV Breeding, though? I aint about dat life. If I happen to get a good IV Pokemon, then sure, yea I'll do it, but if not, then NOPE.
reddit - /r/BreedingDittos if you want to get a 6IV ditto for breeding purposes. Makes it incredibly fast compared to usual methods, and at least you can say you made a viable, legitimate Pokemon that wasn't spawned or cloned.
if u ignore IV breeding and want to do EV competitively, your EVs need to compensate for the missing IVs since your opponent may have that perfect IV which will be disastrous for you
people want ridiculous and sometimes impossible trades for everything e.g. something at lvl 1-10 that doesn't evolve from the first pokemon in its evolutionary line until lvl 16
Technically there's more than two genders, so potentially yes attack helicopters. Example: the listed as genderless Magnemite line. They can only breed with Ditto, if they can breed at all. But who knows what they'd actually identify as- they can be whatever feels right since they're non-binary by nature, yeah? XD
seriously pokemon never followed any logical rules whatsoever, and suddenly real life biology applies? what's next, a device for counting pokemon Chromosomes????????? like seriously, WHY?!?!?!
@Verlisify Worth noting: The fellow at the Pokemon Center at the Battle Resort who tells you about the intriguing potential of your Pokemon is not quite as straight forward as you mentioned around 6:52. -When he tells you something initially such as your Pokemon having an "outstanding potential overall" etc, this indicates how many separate stats have high IV potential (this phrase does not indicate the value of any one IV) -After this, he mentions "I would say its best stat is 'x'" etc, and this tells which stat(s) is/are HIGHEST for that Pokemon...but this doesn't necessarily mean that they are MAXED (with a value of 31) -If he says "I would say its (insert stat here) is its best stat...stats like those...they simply can't be beat!", this phrase in particular ("simply can't be beat!") is what tells you that the given IV is at its maximum potential value of 31. -If a given Pokemon has a moderately high (but not maximum) IV, he may say "I would say its (insert stat here) is its best stat...it really has some fantastic stats overall". This phrase (fantastic stats overall) would indicate that the given stat(s) have higher IV potential, but not maximum (0
Just so everyone knows (nobody really seems to...) a perfectly bred pokemon in fact has ALL SIX IVs at 31 not just 5. Believe you me it is in fact possible, but I have never seen it done without double destiny knot, I just bred a TRUE perfect Ratata on Alph Saph yesterday, and to put things in perspective, I finally found a shiny at egg #934, and Still hadn't succeeded at breeding 6 ivs yet....that didn't happen till #970 something and I don't use any shiny increasing things, so yeaaaaaah it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get all 6 ivs just know that the dozens of people with channels talking about perfect ivs are all really just half-assing it when they say 5 is done XD
nowmowcow no, its just that there is mostly no point of having a beneficial IV in a hindering nature. You are only getting the effect of 5 and its perfect
***** yes I know, I wouldn't have gone through such trouble if it wasn't better at least by a little, a neutral nature, good ability and 6 perfect 31s IV :) There is no way to get a better average across the board
nowmowcow Well, sometimes you don't want that 6th IV. For example, if you're breeding a Chandelure, you definitely don't want that perfect attack IV, actually, the lower the better, because moves like Foul Play will only do more damage if you have a higher attack, and Chandelure is also weak to dark. Plus, it doesn't need to use physical attacks. So there's really no point. Also, you don't want a neutral nature for Ratata. Jolly or Adamant's probably best. I did breed a 6IV Honedge yesterday, though, but that was purely by accident. It only took about 10 eggs.
nowmowcow Yes, yes, technically that's true -- but don't we all have our own ideas about perfection? The only Raticate I run is a Super Fang one. So great for taking down walls and sweepers! Just give Raticate a Focus Sash and... bam! The enemy's weakened in a single hit! I also love FEAR Rattata for no reason in particular, just the opponent's reaction is priceless!
Ava Jo I like you :) I have ben playing since gen 1....God I feel old....anyways, I am a lifetime player who just started trying my hand at competitive, and have virtually no peers to train with...wannna exchange friend codes? Also my connection is garbage.....seriously plz?! I have X and AS plus literally dozens of other 3ds titles and a few WiiU (including both versions of SSB4 of course)
I have a 6 IV ditto that I got from wondertrade and now I'm trying to breed for at least a 5 IV Shroomish, but I'm stuck on 3 IV....I dont even know lol
***** could you possibly make a video about breeding for hidden powers? for example i keep breeding my treecko's to get one with hidden power ice. and even if i have the correct IVs i still get either dragon or dark. thanks for reading my comment :)
I,M SO PISSED!!! I spent days! DAYS!! trying to hatch a shiny Ralts. And right when I was about to give up, I finally got it. only one problem, It was Male....MALE!!!....
What's wrong if it is male? if you desire of having shiny gardevoir that much then don't get pissed off. you can still evolve your male ralts into gardevoir in level 30.
On the thing with the Destiny Knot, fighting the couple didn't work for me (got impatient) and winning Master Rank contest (too time consuming) didn't work for me. This is what I did. (Warning: Be aware that some people may take your Pokémon holding Destiny Knot) You need a Pokemon X or Y game for this to work. What I did was I went to the hotel in Cyllage City, went upstairs and talked to the first maid that I saw. Talking to her would give you a Destiny Knot. I took a Pokémon of my own (this can be any Pokémon) gave it Destiny Knot, put it on GTS along with a message to identify that it's mine and a required Pokémon for the trade (I picked Zigzagoon). I then booted up Alpha Sapphire, went on GTS and looked for the Pokémon that I put on GTS. When the trade was finished, the Pokémon that I put is still holding Destiny Knot.
Oh hey you actually responded, I wasn't expecting that! I'm referencing an old game grumps joke, look up "Pumbloom" and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Love the guides you do man. I always watch guide videos and I restarted Omega Ruby to rebuild my game after moving my team to gen 7 and I missed so much last time. But every time I look for guides there you are making in depth guides. You're like the old Driftor of Pokemon.
Hey guys i have millons of charmanders that i nedd to get rid of so ask me if u want some Side Note: they are all level one with Flare biltz and outrage
Breeding is the most miserable and the most time consuming part of pokemon, the mechanics should be further simplified so that people can breed more effectivly with less effort. bc nobody should have to spend hundreds of hours building a team that could just get wrecked un the meta and having to start over again and again, thats not fun, its tedious drivel. HAX now Strategy makes the trainer, not boring game mechanics
I agree with you that why I use my Xatu with power swap, guard swap, skill swap and U turn with the ability Early Bird in online competitive play. My Xatu is the ultimate troll against perfect IV and legendary pokemon
Will Kincaid imo i love the grind i rarely do competitive battles because i get rekt by the meta but its so awesome having shiny perfect iv pokemon its something about the journey that makes it worth it because you got a legitimate perfect shiny haha.
Want to battle competitively? Want to breed the biggest and baddest critters this side of Hoenn? Well, you'll need a lot of luck, determination... and probably an academic degree in Pokemon Genetics. This guide's a good place to start, though.
***** lol this is actually a great guide verlis. :P I hadn't watched it before now, and decided I should. BTW, can I ask why breeding hates me? Im trying to breed Whismur ROFL because I actually need an exploud lol, and Im breeding a 3iv dexnav whismur with my 6iv ditto,(note I have destiny knot on the whismur and everstone on ditto for the nature), but the huge issue, the whismur that Im hatching are only ~3-4ivs. *my reaction after hatching a whole box that were shitty* Y U H8 ME BREEDING. So yeah explain this xD
You _could_ get Destiny Knots from Contest fans or that one Young Couple, and Everstone from Granite Cave...You could also get them from your copy of either X or Y, like I did.
This guide was very helpful i managed to get a 6 iv Zorua after watching this. Honestly breeding for hidden abilities and egg moves is annoying as hell but i'm still trying.
Hmm.. I missed a few videos while I was away from my keyboard playing other games. Anyway. THIS GUIDE IS AWESOME! Thanks for the in-depth guide. And thanks as well to this video's guest on your channel. Keep up the good work!
Passing down balls isn't all about aesthetics. For Eevee in particular, and others that evolve through friendship, luxury balls are a nice added functionality. Also, Volcarona is another Pokémon that has access to both Fly and Flame Body.
And for some people that dont know after you finish the delta episode every time you go to your home town theres a chance that professor Birch will call for help just like in the beginning except this time you can choose a starter pokemon from a different game which are good for trading or competitive or just whatever you want to do.
Awesome video man I have tons of rare pokemon that have 6ivs, hidden abilities, perfect natured and are shiny. You need more subs man, but thanks for the video dude.
This guide is super helpful. It's a nice refresher for me, but it's also a GREAT video for my friends who have been asking me how to get into the competitive scene :P Great video!
For those looking for destiny knot: Save before you battle the couple!! Then battle them and if you don't get the knot, just reset! This way you don't have to wait another day for an extra chance! Thumbs up so everyone can see this comment :)
An excellent vid! I have been breeding 5 IV shiny pokemon for some time now... It take a lot of it.. time... But it's cool, because I've gotten some amazing rewards: Shiny 5 IV Sableye, Shiny 5 IV Deino, Shiny 5 IV Drowzee with special egg moves (Hypno's my fav. and I had a shiny in Silver, OG Silver, so yay nostalgia)... I highly recommend putting the time into this. I've not gotten a 6 IV Shiny yet, but I will, and when I do, I will have achieved poke demigodhood...
I just picked up Omega Ruby and it is my first Pokemon game since Pokemon Red back in the day, this shit got so complicated! That isn't a bad thing though, it adds a lot of playability! But thanks for this video man, you spoke well and quickly, much appreciated.
thanks bro!! Because of this guide, I have been breeding charmanders and now I have a outrage, dragon rage, and hopefully inferno charmander (gonna try to fix dragon rage by making it dragon pulse, and dragon dance!!
Thanks so much for this guide. It's actually the easiest one I've found that I can follow. I've never been a big breeder type and recently just learned about how to breed Pokemon so, this will be taking my time up from now on. Again, thanks so much!
1:41 the couple's names are Lois and Hal.lois and Hal are parents on a show called Malcom in the middle(available on netflix) random fact that I thought of
What I like to do is use the acro bike, go to an area where you need the mach bike to pass, put a heavy object on top of my control pad and make sure it's pushing down on the up button. Go to bed, next day go to day care and have high level pokemon in it plus hatched eggs in my party.
Just started breeding and I turned to wonder trade for some breedjects and got two 3 iv Eevees that were completely opposite, and a 5 iv Gible so I guess a good start:D
Step I Pokémon + Ability Skill Swap “Move” can help you find a Pokémon’s ability if your not aware of what it is Step II Eggs moves You will need a female Pokémon to breed with a male Pokémon that can learn the desired move Step III Nature Recommended Pokémon Natures Adamant - Physical Modest - Special Everstone’s Passes down the Nature Granite Cave at the end Step IV IV Breeding You will need 2 Ditto’s Having best Stats in HP,DEF,Special DEF, and Speed the 5th stat will be one or the other ATK or Special ATK, Ditto will also need to hold a Destiny Knot Seamavile Couple Fight Step V EV Training With Power items you need to knock out 14 Pokémon for that stat to max out
I know this video is old, but I still wanted to say this; There is also a pokémon daycare on route 117 so you can go there when you're at Mauville City
17 eggs later I managed to get a 100% perfect male Eevee. Started with a male Eevee with 4 perfect stats and a female Eevee with 3 perfect stats. Had 5 eggs at a time and wrote down all their stats on a notepad app. 9th egg had a male with 5 perfect stats. Switched to it (let's not tell the male and female that they are related). Continued with 5 eggs at a time while I watched some Pokémon S3. Now I just gotta get a perfect female and go for a shiny, and maybe fix their nature.
Real Genetics is simpler than this
word so is rocket science
Nice profile pic
@Tyler Olivares haha rocket.
Just a tip for anyone who wants to do a lot of breeding, work on building what I call the Hexperfect 7. What this does is gives you a father to use no matter what pokemon you want to breed that will have 6iv's to pass on (so if you use destiny knot the child has a really good chance of getting at least a few perfect IVs, especially if the mother has 3-4). The ones I use are Bulbasaur(Monster/Grass), Shellos(Water1/Amorphous), Magikarp(Water2/Dragon), Archen(Water3/Flying), Volbeat(Bug/Human-like), Snorunt(Mineral/Fairy), and Smeargle(Field). It may take a while to get to it, as it will require some luck, but if you manage to breed a male of each of those with 6 perfect IVs then you will have a father for every egg group. You can modify the pokemon you need a bit, but I haven't been able to figure out a combo that gets it down to 6 pokemon yet. Good luck and may your eggs be full of shinies.
How can I breed humans? There is a bed in my room but I never managed to get May to my house.
Lol, you win the internet.
+Pancake90 wow
Lmao
What about Serena
You need to find out how to make her mom un-ground her, and if you are hot enough, she will get in your house, and yea...
Good luck!
Who else watched this entire video and still has no idea how to breed?
.....me 😕
Though I was the only:/
I spent half a day trying to do this. I got confused about the items and which Poochyena to switch. Therefore I gave up.
Coblajo im trying for a couple hours now and im so frustrated and anoyed but it'll be worth it
zayn maraj give destiny knot to pokemon with most ivs, everstone to nature you want. If next pokemon has more iv than original than give it the destiny knot
When after 15 years of playing pokemon you just find out you can breed pokemon even if they aren't the same pokemon. Lol
ikr
*cough cough* "ditto duplicates all pokemon"*cough cough*
Courier Z i kmew ablut ditto already. 😁
Aidan Moran not stupid, but more like i havemt dome amy research before but just played thr gsme and never did any. Breeding until after this video. So more like unaware, not stupid.
DeepVoiceBryan ditto
By far the best guide I ever seen! He even explained IVs really well
Elisha Wallace Ikr
This was too confusing I'll just use my 6 IV ditto
This video was released 5 years ago and the last comment was 3 weeks ago. This just shows how great these games are people are watching tutorials 5 years later.
yes
And still happening in 2023 🤙
Love your videos. You are thorough and get straight to the point in a very professional manner.
ninjaxsam thanks

UGH... that took a lot to write...
btw... I also found (and it's EXTREMELY RARE) that a Pokémon with 3 stars can have perfect IVs (5-6 IVs at 31), but its almost impossible
Amber, it took me WAY TOO MUCH, certainly is easier to just go and catch dittos and breed with them, but this did help for getting the correct abilities
That's a lie
A friend of mine caught in a hidden grotto a ditto of 6IVs and transfered it to X & Y
then he cloned it
*****
i bought mine on ebay
Well i must say I got extremely lucky then xD I actually was really bored and was dexnaving and found a tailow with 3 stats and hidden ability, and i went to the IV Judge later and twas 5IV lol.
Boom, I have a 6 IV Ditto :)

Why does everyone forget about the Daycare on Route 117
+CamoSmash722 didn't forget about it, its just not efficient
Is it possible to pass down a tm move to a pokemon even while breeding ?
+Andrew Charles Not that i know of.
And not like it matters, since tms are now infinite.
(laughs) They also forgot about the Battle City Daycare too at the Battle Resort.
I was breeding for Shiny Shinx at Battle Resort, and wanted to breed another Pokémon without taking my Luxray and Japanese Emolga out of the Daycare at the Battle Resort. So I went to the Daycare on Route 117 to breed for a Dedenne. Then when I went to hatch that Dedenne egg along with my last batch of Shinx eggs from Battle Resort, I had a Shiny Shinx hatch on Route 117 with Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Quick Attack and Hidden Power Grass. She had Jolly Nature with Intimidate ability and with "Serperior" IVs in HP, Defense and Special Defense.
This is super informative!! thank you! Pokemans can only have 5 maxed IV's?
+mattyburrito MB They can have all stats maxed out like Ally Mitchell said but since the Destiny Knot only passes along 5 stats the 6th stat will be left up to chance (so you have a 1 in 31 chance of getting that final perfect IV).
To be sure you need a male and female with perfect IVs
mattyburrito MB no it’s 6 IVs for pokemans
Mattyburrito I remember watching Pokémon rubyer and golder
Holy shit it’s Marty burrito
Man this guy needs more subs
Devin Stoutermire Thanks!
***** This guy needs more Fish tacos...
I second that!
Nova Dragonborn I third that
Devin Stoutermire I 103 that! :D
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED BULBAPEDIA...
Despite my dislike for Verlisify I must admit this is a pretty good guide (even if not the best articulated guide) that does tell you pretty much everything you need from scratch. Well done Verlisify.
Conall Kilroy :)
That moment when you get your 5 iv gible
I love gible :D
I managed to breed a shiny 6 iv gible ;)
+scradleeee I hatched a 6IV Infiltrator Shiny Zubat! I was so happy, I almost broke my 3DS

Using this guide to hopefully hatch a Rock Head Tyrunt 🙏
I REALLY hate IV Breeding...usually I just dont bother going through all the work. It's way too tedious.

Kev Cheng I dont see how they make THAT big of a deal...
Its a pity people want such ridiculous trades for ditto.
Gabrielle Dunn GIMME A MALE LUGIA
Just catch them in X&Y in the Friend Safari, guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, and transfer them into ORAS.
BackfallGenius But you need friends on your 3ds roster and I'm pretty much lone wolf there
people want ridiculous and sometimes impossible trades for everything e.g. something at lvl 1-10 that doesn't evolve from the first pokemon in its evolutionary line until lvl 16
Ever browse the GTS? people ask for crazy stuff for the most common pokemon in the game
"because biology"
TRIGGERED
ONLY 2 GENDERS
HISSSSSSSSS
All the Pokémon who don't identify as male or female are very offended right now.
Technically there's more than two genders, so potentially yes attack helicopters. Example: the listed as genderless Magnemite line. They can only breed with Ditto, if they can breed at all. But who knows what they'd actually identify as- they can be whatever feels right since they're non-binary by nature, yeah? XD

Me To
Same.
Nah, it's cool man. I like to earn my own shinies.
***** could you possibly make a video about breeding for hidden powers? for example i keep breeding my treecko's to get one with hidden power ice. and even if i have the correct IVs i still get either dragon or dark.
thanks for reading my comment :)

Jjj get
Verlis. Thank you for your help!
Thanks to you, started back my hobby for this generation.
J Crimson epic
J Crimson i go confused on the ivs i was like so um yeah
Yeah. I got this down pat. Love perfect breeding teams. Been doing it ever since Emerald.
Did anybody else notice that the couple you battle to get the destiny knot are named Lois and Hal, like the parents in Malcom in the Middle?!?
Wow...this somewhat confused me. All this time I've been breeding every single Pokémon with Ditto. Not even worried about IVs or whatever.
*Cringe*
same
"Baton passed this to me" *smiles, slow claps*
I,M SO PISSED!!!
I spent days! DAYS!! trying to hatch a shiny Ralts. And right when I was about to give up, I finally got it. only one problem, It was Male....MALE!!!....
We can trade if you want
why is that a problem?
What's wrong if it is male? if you desire of having shiny gardevoir that much then don't get pissed off. you can still evolve your male ralts into gardevoir in level 30.
+Johny Nethercott it becomes gallade if it's male.
so?
On the thing with the Destiny Knot, fighting the couple didn't work for me (got impatient) and winning Master Rank contest (too time consuming) didn't work for me.
This is what I did. (Warning: Be aware that some people may take your Pokémon holding Destiny Knot)
You need a Pokemon X or Y game for this to work. What I did was I went to the hotel in Cyllage City, went upstairs and talked to the first maid that I saw. Talking to her would give you a Destiny Knot. I took a Pokémon of my own (this can be any Pokémon) gave it Destiny Knot, put it on GTS along with a message to identify that it's mine and a required Pokémon for the trade (I picked Zigzagoon). I then booted up Alpha Sapphire, went on GTS and looked for the Pokémon that I put on GTS. When the trade was finished, the Pokémon that I put is still holding Destiny Knot.
Your channel is the best tool for a pokemon trainer man. Thanks for your time and effort.
Jonathan Soto Thanks a lot for the comment and support!
The boy once handed me an egg without him turning his sight

13:16 "In Gen VI, you can now pass down your females' balls!" DAFAQ?
That is called a Pumbloom not a Whismur
?
Oh hey you actually responded, I wasn't expecting that!
I'm referencing an old game grumps joke, look up "Pumbloom" and you'll see what I'm talking about.
OOOOOH ITS A GAMSMASH!
Game Grumps references 6/5

The best part of this video.
Love the guides you do man. I always watch guide videos and I restarted Omega Ruby to rebuild my game after moving my team to gen 7 and I missed so much last time. But every time I look for guides there you are making in depth guides. You're like the old Driftor of Pokemon.
Hey guys i have millons of charmanders that i nedd to get rid of so ask me if u want some

Growl
Outrage

Plz try to every body about this i have to many charmanders
try to tell
Is it possible to breed a Ditto with another Ditto? with items perhaps?
It's no possible
Breeding is the most miserable and the most time consuming part of pokemon, the mechanics should be further simplified so that people can breed more effectivly with less effort. bc nobody should have to spend hundreds of hours building a team that could just get wrecked un the meta and having to start over again and again, thats not fun, its tedious drivel. HAX now Strategy makes the trainer, not boring game mechanics
I agree with you that why I use my Xatu with power swap, guard swap, skill swap and U turn with the ability Early Bird in online competitive play. My Xatu is the ultimate troll against perfect IV and legendary pokemon
Will Kincaid imo i love the grind i rarely do competitive battles because i get rekt by the meta but its so awesome having shiny perfect iv pokemon its something about the journey that makes it worth it because you got a legitimate perfect shiny haha.
Want to battle competitively? Want to breed the biggest and baddest critters this side of Hoenn? Well, you'll need a lot of luck, determination... and probably an academic degree in Pokemon Genetics. This guide's a good place to start, though.
1:24 lol I like how Blastoise looks like it's inviting Charizard with that pose.
Zzzzzz- WHA!?!? Oh sorry i fell asleep. It was too boring
*MY BOY*
y u no make sense
Viziblurr Thats breeding, this is one of the most comprehensive guides you will find
The only thing i dont get is IVs so i really dont worry about them too much
***** lol this is actually a great guide verlis. :P I hadn't watched it before now, and decided I should. BTW, can I ask why breeding hates me? Im trying to breed Whismur ROFL because I actually need an exploud lol, and Im breeding a 3iv dexnav whismur with my 6iv ditto,(note I have destiny knot on the whismur and everstone on ditto for the nature), but the huge issue, the whismur that Im hatching are only ~3-4ivs. *my reaction after hatching a whole box that were shitty* Y U H8 ME BREEDING. So yeah explain this xD
It is great guide on breeding but i just have trouble with it
+MenaceHD put the dk on ditto and everstone on whismur with a good nature
You _could_ get Destiny Knots from Contest fans or that one Young Couple, and Everstone from Granite Cave...You could also get them from your copy of either X or Y, like I did.
I hatched a 6 IV Eevee and a 6 IV Torchic. This vid is a Godsend
This guide was very helpful i managed to get a 6 iv Zorua after watching this. Honestly breeding for hidden abilities and egg moves is annoying as hell but i'm still trying.
This video is incredibly helpful! I appreciate the time you put into it :)
Hmm.. I missed a few videos while I was away from my keyboard playing other games. Anyway. THIS GUIDE IS AWESOME! Thanks for the in-depth guide. And thanks as well to this video's guest on your channel. Keep up the good work!
I've gone back in time brother 👌🏻
Passing down balls isn't all about aesthetics. For Eevee in particular, and others that evolve through friendship, luxury balls are a nice added functionality. Also, Volcarona is another Pokémon that has access to both Fly and Flame Body.
And for some people that dont know after you finish the delta episode every time you go to your home town theres a chance that professor Birch will call for help just like in the beginning except this time you can choose a starter pokemon from a different game which are good for trading or competitive or just whatever you want to do.
You sir have opened my eyes again in Pokemon
I hatched a Shiny Snivy with 5IVs on my 42nd egg!!! Thanks Verlis this guide really helped!! (without a shiny charm)
This guy is awesome he's the only youtuber that gives good information about pokemon
definitely subscribe
Awesome video man I have tons of rare pokemon that have 6ivs, hidden abilities, perfect natured and are shiny. You need more subs man, but thanks for the video dude.
Thank you so much, this is the only breeding video that has ever made sense and I'd also like to thank you for helping me understand IV's
This guide is super helpful. It's a nice refresher for me, but it's also a GREAT video for my friends who have been asking me how to get into the competitive scene :P Great video!
i lost my luck in battling and i needed tips on breeding thanks so much this is why i subscribed to you because most of my movesets come from you :)
For those looking for destiny knot: Save before you battle the couple!! Then battle them and if you don't get the knot, just reset! This way you don't have to wait another day for an extra chance! Thumbs up so everyone can see this comment :)
Very well done video. Now to start getting some great 4-5iv Pokemon breed.
An excellent vid! I have been breeding 5 IV shiny pokemon for some time now... It take a lot of it.. time... But it's cool, because I've gotten some amazing rewards: Shiny 5 IV Sableye, Shiny 5 IV Deino, Shiny 5 IV Drowzee with special egg moves (Hypno's my fav. and I had a shiny in Silver, OG Silver, so yay nostalgia)... I highly recommend putting the time into this. I've not gotten a 6 IV Shiny yet, but I will, and when I do, I will have achieved poke demigodhood...
I just picked up Omega Ruby and it is my first Pokemon game since Pokemon Red back in the day, this shit got so complicated! That isn't a bad thing though, it adds a lot of playability! But thanks for this video man, you spoke well and quickly, much appreciated.
thanks bro!! Because of this guide, I have been breeding charmanders and now I have a outrage, dragon rage, and hopefully inferno charmander (gonna try to fix dragon rage by making it dragon pulse, and dragon dance!!
Because of this guide I know have a shiny 6iv greninja! Thanks a ton!
This is the video that got me into competitive Pokémon!
very good work on your video, you covered alot that needed to be mentioned, thanks for the help
Thanks so much for this guide. It's actually the easiest one I've found that I can follow.
I've never been a big breeder type and recently just learned about how to breed Pokemon so, this will be taking my time up from now on.
Again, thanks so much!
that's not how i learned to play pokemon... Damn.. this is some next level sience my friend
This was actually incredibly helpful, Thank you.
1:41 the couple's names are Lois and Hal.lois and Hal are parents on a show called Malcom in the middle(available on netflix) random fact that I thought of
What I like to do is use the acro bike, go to an area where you need the mach bike to pass, put a heavy object on top of my control pad and make sure it's pushing down on the up button. Go to bed, next day go to day care and have high level pokemon in it plus hatched eggs in my party.
Thanks Verlis this video really helped.
Still dont understand how can i get a hidden ability starter without x and y
Fantastic video, very helpful
Thanks for this video. It'll be a real help as I begin my breeding for competitive teams.
After listening to a friends conversation on Pokemon, there's lots more I need to know.
amazing job on the video. hope to see more great videos
This was a great guide! Thanks
Love the video, man.
Just started breeding and I turned to wonder trade for some breedjects and got two 3 iv Eevees that were completely opposite, and a 5 iv Gible so I guess a good start:D
Yo this video was really helpful.
lol this video was uploaded on my birthday, what a coincidence
It says "Hidden Power" under Extra Information (12:06).
I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure HP isn't even mentioned in the video.
Wow my head hurts from all this. Pokemon has come along way.
I love how the entire comment section consist of more information on genetics than in my AP Biology class 0.o
I know right. Might as well watch this video & read the comments in class.
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks man . nobody ever explained this to me...
this video was great and extremely helpful thanks so much

I know this video is old, but I still wanted to say this; There is also a pokémon daycare on route 117 so you can go there when you're at Mauville City
Thanks for explaining everything so well
New sub 😃
17 eggs later I managed to get a 100% perfect male Eevee.
Started with a male Eevee with 4 perfect stats and a female Eevee with 3 perfect stats. Had 5 eggs at a time and wrote down all their stats on a notepad app. 9th egg had a male with 5 perfect stats. Switched to it (let's not tell the male and female that they are related). Continued with 5 eggs at a time while I watched some Pokémon S3.
Now I just gotta get a perfect female and go for a shiny, and maybe fix their nature.
I got an Eevee with 4 IVs through DexNavi. so if you're REALLY lucky you can probably get a Pokemon with 6 IVs by using DexNavi.
Very Good guide ;) I did a Diamond&Pearl egg gameplay... Old memories ;)
