Just got back into playing Pokemmo need advice

[zNialler]

I have recently got back into playing pokemon and allot has changed. For starters breeding is a big thing now along with iv's... now my question is about pokemon natures and pokemon iv's. Firstly I would like to start with an abra..Timid is the best if i remember, now back around a year ago you had to catch a Timid Abra but now from what i gather it's easier to breed a good one instead. Now i'm looking to get the best out of my pokemon so I can compete with the top players. So now to I'vs...If I were to breed two pokemon for example to alakazams whom both have amazing IV and ev stats in speed and special attack would it greatly increase the chances of my new pokemons Iv's in those two areas or is it just random and luck based... also I have read that you don't have to use two of the same pokemon to breed... instead you can use a ditto and a alakazam to breed an abra is this true? and also will this alter the chances of the new pokemons  iv's ect. Any help would be much appreciated

When you breed two pokemon together, 3 of the babies IV's are randomly selected from either of the parents and are directly passed (same IV as the parent). The other 3 IV's are an average of the two parent IV's then a roll (-8,+3) on that average.

 

Example:

               Parent 1        Parent 2

HP          0                      30

ATK        25                    26

DEF        21                   20

SATK      25                    25

SDEF      20                   22

SPD        28                   28

             

              Baby:

HP         7-18       (Average of 0 and 30 is 15. Then 15 - 8 = 7. 15 + 3 = 18).

ATK       26          (directly passed down from parent 2)

DEF      20          (directly passed down from parent 2)

SATK    17-28     (Average of 25 and 25 is 25. Then 25 - 8 = 17. 25 + 3 = 28).

SDEF    20          (directly passed down from parent 1)

SPD      20-31     (Average of 28 and 28 is 28. Then 28 - 8 = 20. 28 + 3 = 31).

 

You don't have to use the same pokemon species to breed. The ones that can breed together are in the same "egg group". Go [url=http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/alakazam]here[/url]. Look in the box labled "compatibility" and you can see the pokemon listed that Alakazam, kadabra, and abra can breed with. A few examples are machop, magmar, jynx, and drowzee. A special exception is ditto. Ditto can breed with any pokemon (except another ditto).

Ok that's exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for. Just one or two more questions to clarify. For example you have one parent iv hp as 0 and the second parents hp as 30 which is an average of 15 now when you apply the role of -8 or +3 is that down to just pure luck ? meaning you can have a maximum of 18 hp and a minimum 7  or any number inbetween?. And when you refer to the average does that mean the highest ivs of there parents get added on with a roll of -8 +3 or is it random which ivs are selected to go under a potential roll.

Just kind want to know is it best to get two parents who have high ivs in speed and special attack and mate them to potentially get a abra with high extra ivs in speed special attack ?

one parent iv hp as 0 and the second parents hp as 30 which is an average of 15 now when you apply the role of -8 or +3 is that down to just pure luck? yes, the roll is totally based on luck.

 

meaning you can have a maximum of 18 hp and a minimum 7  or any number inbetween? yes, any IV within that range.

 

And when you refer to the average does that mean the highest ivs of there parents get added on with a roll of -8 +3 or is it random which ivs are selected to go under a potential roll.

On an IV that is not directly inherited:

 

#1 The game looks at both of the parent IV in the said stat. Let's say in this case the game is calculating  the HP IV for the egg/baby.

#2 The HP IV of parent 1 is averaged with the HP IV of parent 2. No other IV's (def, atk, speed, etc.) are considered, only the two HP IV's of the parents.

#3 Once the average is determined from the two parent IV's, the (-8,+3) roll is applied. Again, this can be any number in the range and is just RNG (luck).

That's a great run down for IV thanks again :D
