Do you IV Breed Pokemon? (competitively)

[KarlaKGB]

It's at least feasible now...

 

[Silversea]

Lots of people had perfect IVs in previous games. They were hacked, sure, but its not like its a new thing to be able to get IVs at whatever you want them.

There are two destiny knots per game.

i have 3?
i think the girl in lumiose gives you one everytime you beat her. no one gave me theirs so

 

[Stevey Queen]

I'm gonna try it for the first time soon. I read up on it. I still don't feel like I know everything I need to know though.

 

[Dr J]

I play for fun and only battle against friends for fun, though I'm trying to breed a perfect IV eevee with modest nature to be a perfect little glaceon for me <3

 

[NanoStar]

I IV breed and battle competitively. I'm glad its a lot more easier to get perfect IV bred pokemon this gen, now people won't have to do shady things to get their perfect pokemon.

 

[Silversea]

There will still be 31 IV shiny pokemon floating around though if hacking or cheating is possible. Nothing can stop that except preventing hacking itself which I think is ultimately impossible.

Does it have to have 31 IVs across the board or just a few? /shot

Well most people, if they are doing it competitively, are going to go with that. Or at least 31 IVs in the stats they will use (no point giving 31 IVs in Sp. Atk if it never uses Sp Atk).

Seems like too much work for me.

 

[CM Mark]

I know nothing about it, nor do I really care. I do upon occasion breed for female starters or Eevees

 

[puppy]

before this generation i only messed with EVs
now im just starting to breed for IVs and its so tedious ):
i know it'll be worth it though

 

[Farobi]

It takes around ~12 minutes in average to try to get 5 eggs, ride in Lumiose City with a coin in the control pad, and check the IVs of the hatched mons if they're worth it. While it is tedious, it is worth it imo :3

I got a 6IV Larvitar through this, wouldv'e been LEAGUES better if she was Sassy instead of Adamant

 

[Silversea]

Its impossible to check 31 IVs at level 1 though.

I do it all the time in Kiloude City ._.

 

[StarryTumble]

I love IV breeding and trading IV bred Pokemon. I've been doing MMing with 5IV perfects lately, so it's like killing two birds with one stone (trying to get a shiny/breeding 5IV Pokes).

The IV judge will explicitly tell you which stats have 31 and which have 0.

 

[Midoriya]

I do not as I'm not much of a competitive player.

 

[Blu Rose]

I don't competitively play, but I do, on occasion, breed for IVs; I hava a Flygon which I named Artemis which has Attack and Speed IVs, and I also bred for a Skitty for a while there; finally got it with HP, Attack and Speed ((Hordel is pretty cool) Who remembers which game the name comes from?). That is about the extent of it, though. (Oh, and an Eevee, which had Attack, Speed, and Special Attack. The nature decided the evolution ((Adamant) Leafeon).

 

[Zeiro]

nOPE

and i still smoke all them fools
