A lot of the time is luck.

Others in this thread have done it under 2 boxes.

[Quickman]

Hopefully I can have a Shiny in under two boxes, as I'm none too keen on filling up my PC with Hawlucha babies.

Once I get the Bank, though, chain-breeding all the way!

[Sakura Leic]

Okay I need to ask something.  On a Hazard Team with a Paraflinch Togekiss, Sticky Web Galvantula, Gooey Goodra, a Poison Heal Gilscor that is meant to stall the hell out of everything and Toxic, and Escavalier that is a mixed wall that has Infesation and Toxic, what kind of Nature and EV spread should I give a Mega Tyranitar and maybe Attack suggestions.

[Dr. Wily II]

Bulk up on his sp def... Go Careful, since that cuts sp ATT to add to sp def. As for EVs... I have this idea of 252 HP, 128 Def, 128 Sp Def. Moveset wise... Iron Head, Earthquake... Rock Slide/Stone Edge... ... ... Dragon Dance?

Posted on: December 23, 2013, 15:01:42... I might try this myself.

[Sakura Leic]

I'd like him to have Stealth Rock.

[Dr. Wily II]

I WILL TRY THIS ONE THEN

[Sakura Leic]

I think I'll axe the Dragon Dance since his Speed is kind of bad.

Just hope you never have to face a team with a Mega Absol. Magic Bounce is going to screw you over so bad.

That's what Team Previews are for?

All the more to go in, and be the underdog and win!

Touche, my friend. Seriously though, just be prepared for sand based teams. They are into the whole stalling/setting up traps/destroying your traps thing.

[Quickman]

I should some day put together a decent team.  Though, compared to all the Pokemon bred for teams, my teammates are wild-caught losers.

[Dr. Wily II]

You can still EV-train them!
Like I did!

[Quickman]

Well, Runaway got some EV training and I let Mewtwo play in ST for a bit.  I've maxed out Runaway's defense, so he's a pretty decent wall.  His Nature helped out with that one, and more ST raised his lowered attack.  Mewtwo would benefit from some more attack raising, since he's using Return.

I'd like to use Anne Bonney for more than just a Surf/Waterfall/Strength slave, so I may work on STing her.  Once Ebon Hawk is leveled, too, I plan to start working on another Fly slave.  May pull out Ray Charles, my Zubat.

[Sakura Leic]

Unfortunately the EVs in Defense doesn't really benefit it at all since his Defense is really [acid burst] poor, and I mean really [acid burst] poor.  If it were me I would have raised Runaway's Special Defense and Speed since his Special Attack is already amazing.  But that's just me.

Also noticed I have a lot of HP EV trading to do in the future, oy vey.

[Quickman]

This is why I usually don't do EV training and usually don't battle competitively; because I suck at it.

It's really not that hard if you know what you're doing. 

I look at the Pokemon's stats, look for a nature that lowers the attacking stat that is already balls and one that either raises a defense, speed or on occasion the other attack stat, if I'm raising Speed I would want a max Speed IV along with the Nature, which is Alert to Sounds plus Timid or Jolly, have babies with all that and decide what I want to EV from there.

[Quickman]

So what stat does "hates to lose" raise?

[Sakura Leic]

So what stat does "hates to lose" raise?

That is a Characteristic which is an IV which you need a perfect in order to max the stat if you want to max the stat with the highest IV being 31.  In this case that Characteristic is for Special Defense and it's 28 which is the lowest for the Special Defense Characteristic but if it didn't have the Characteristic for Special defense it would be lower.

[Quickman]

Okay, so Runaway's Bold/Hates to lose combo isn't half bad.  Basically, both attributes boost the stats that he has the most deficit in.

[Dr. Wily II]

Hence why I tend to stick with neutrals. More fun to EV.

[Quickman]

What does Mischievous affect?

Nevermind, found it.  Hm...

[Sakura Leic]

Natures are the most important thing though since they affect your stats by 10% and EVs can give you a max of 63 bonus points, but I don't know how many points IVs give.

[Archer]

But that's wrong, you can't properly max out a stat that way - it's no fun at all.

[Dr. Wily II]

It is fun for me though, and has stuck since Gen3.
