Hey There Pokéfans!

I have a question for you, I hope I posted this on the correct place, thanks.

So, I was breeding some Trapinchs, and having 2 parents with 3 IVs each I got one with 5 flawless IVs (31/31/31/31/31/x - male) and I have another parent (female) with 31/31/31/x/x/31.

Now, should I tried to breed them the two of them to get one with a IV on Speed or can I go with the one with 5 IVs since Flygon has a base speed stat of a 100?

I know aiming for the 6 IVs would be a really long shot so I'm not really into that.

Thank you for any information you could provide =D

Personally, I'd run with Speed. Flygon more often than not doesn't use its SpA, so that can be 0 for all you care, and unless you've gotten about a 15 in SpD the couple points you'll save won't do all that much for you, either. Speed, on the other hand, is a stat where every point counts, since winning the speed tie or managing one where you otherwise might have not can make a big, big difference in the game.

Thank you very much, I had that in mind but wanted to confirm it with someone with more experience.
As you said, I don't really care about SpA, the pokémon judge said that the female I have with 4 flawless IVs (the one with Speed) is superior overall, so that means that the one the other two stats aren't that bad, right?

So in this case I can try to breed one 31/31/31/x/31/31 or just go with the one with 4 IVs that is superior overall?

If you're interested in this statistics, I've run the numbers on this stuff last year. Check out my post about it: http://victoryroad.net/showthread.ph...019#post290019


(I almost accidentally linked to this instead. It's the numbers on shinies. http://victoryroad.net/showthread.ph...994#post291994)

Thank you, very interesting numbers, I will give it some thought and let you guys know what happened in the end.

You need more luck with breeding than numbers through calculations.

Flygon needs 31 Speed IVs to be as effective as possible. Depending on your desired nature, I would take 5 perfect IVs to the stats that are really necessary; like you won't really need 31 Sp.Atk IVs on Flygon because he's a physical attacker.

I would just stick the two Trapinch into the Daycare (one of them holding the Destiny Knot) and wait until you get this spread: 31/31/31/x/31/31

well I continue breeding with the two I had and just on the 6th egg I got one with 5IVs, all but Sp.Atk, and it is Jolly so I consider this a very luck breed, it was really fast it took me less than 20 eggs to get there.
I only catched 4 parents from safari with 3 IVs each, Do you think the fact that most of them were 'superior' with 3 Ivs each was key to make this process faster?
