Haven't tried breeding in a Pokemon game before so I'd like to try it this time around in Sun/Moon. I've read a few guides online and such and apparently I only need Everstone, Power Items and hope that I can catch a good Ditto on Route 10 right? And then when I put two pokemon in the Day Care I need to hope that the egg gets good IVs?
Read this then retry your thread m8
You can chain to get a guaranteed 4IV Ditto but you may as well do what everyone else does and get your hands on a 6IV one
Power items are for EV training. For breeding all you want is an Everstone (nature) and a Destiny Knot (passing down good IVs)

I see. Seems like everything comes down to getting a good Ditto. How easy is it to get a 6IV Ditto on Route 10? Am I going to have to grind for several days?
>>30555299
How are so many people getting 6IV dittos now?
Is it an inject or is there some kind of trick?

Wait for a begging thread, but usually the funguy doesnt stay for long or go in a /ehx/ and request properly

6IV ones are hacked, even a 5IV one is pretty hard to get legit

But if the Dittos are hacked, doesn't that make the eggs illegal or something? I thought I read something about that.

This is ancient and needs updated.

Whether or not using a hacked parent is cheating is up to you, but as far as hack checking goes, the baby is 100% legit

I see, I thought that if you bred using a hacked pokemon then the egg would be hacked too, or something like that.
Would this be a good idea to try and get a 6IV Ditto if nobody is giving one away?

If you want to waste a lot of time, sure.
At 30+ chain length 4 IVs are guaranteed to be at the maximum 31. The other two still come down to luck.
So both hitting 31 is a 1 in 1024 chance. From the video it looks like it takes around 1 minute between two dittos showing up so a 30 chain will be half an hour.
Now imagine doing that thousands of times. good look with that.
Also not really AFK. You still have to mash buttons. Nice clickbait title verlisify.
Bestlegitway is to catch multiple 4IV dittos. Just enough to cover all 6 stats.
When breeding you get a 5IV male and female pretty quick so you breed those instead of with a ditto anyway.
Only reason I'd want a 5IV dittos would be for genderless mons since those can only breed with ditto.

Why does the IV of the dittos go up after a subsequent number of SOS's?
Whats the mechanic behind this?

Chaining increases IVs and the chance of a shiny

I hadn't thought of that, I assumed you had to get a 6IV ditto otherwise there's no point in breeding. But just getting a bunch of Dittos with different 4IVs sounds much easier.
