Yeah, the guide cooldude's posted is your all-in-one guide for breeding. Just be careful not to get carried away by some of the approximations given when it comes to probability, the number of Dittos I had to personally catch for 5 Adamant ones with 1 perfect IV (didn't have the patience to find the 6th in the end) for example, was something like 5 or 6 times what the guide estimates. And I've been trying to hatch a double-perfect Beldum for ages now...

I got lucky breeding for a double flawless Staryu (Sp. Atk/Speed). I only had to hatch about 10 Staryus before I got a Modest one with Natural Cure... HP is meh and the defenses are like 10 or so, but it's good enough for the Battle Frontier.

To pass down a certain nature, I'm pretty sure the female has to hold an everstone, and then it will inherit the females nature >_<.

ok well I just bred like a 31 HP IV lapras only to find out its Sp. Atk. is at like a 5-9....and its a male...I'm still a bit confused on how this works, but where would I go from here? O_o

Catch yourself a Ditto of the desired nature with a 31 Sp Att IV of 31, stick an Everstone on it, then breed them together till you get the result you need.

about how long does that take matt?

Hmm... For breeding for a single flawless IV (max IV Ditto + random parent of the poke you want), usually I get it within the first 5 or so eggs. Everstone's 50% chance means that the baby might not be of the desired nature even when perfect though. For 2 flawless IVs (max IV parent + max in different IV Ditto), it gets slightly more annoying (still hatching for Beldums myself), and since you've got to factor in Everstone's 50%, if you need a specific gender (Gallade) or ability (Arena Trap Diglett), generally you stop at 2 flawless. Else I usually try for 3 (2 flawless parent + 2 flawless parent, 1 shared flawless IV).

Breeding takes ages, believe me, especially with my luck... Sometimes I switch to SR-ing for legendaries, since even that is less dreary...

...I've never come this close to letting fly with what is often derided as "anger on the internet"...

So I go out with my since graduated secondary (high) school class + teacher for dinner, and at the same time my little brother takes a former primary (elementary) school classmate home, and the little godforsaken moron has the nerve to steal BOTH my Emerald & Pearl (with my idiot bro occupied with the PC and letting that thief wander the house). We got through to his parents today (and he got thrashed, quite deservingly) but he'd already restarted them both... 133 hours of Emerald replaced by some 20-odd minutes, same for 80 or so of Pearl... All I have left to show for the last few months (Pearl) / year+ (Emerald) is what's left on my sister's Diamond, a handful of competitive pokes...

Yeah, I'm feeling wonderful. 22 hours without sleep and counting...

Wow. That majorly sucks. What exactly did you have that he erased?

hi someone here have an EV team that can say to me? you know, a team that contains the species that gives you more specifical EVs as clefables, shuckles, ect. someone? i lost all mine and i forgot who are the pokemon that gives you more of a stat that others

Everything, lol. My perfect IV Dittos that I use for breeding, full set of Synchronizers (one for each nature, minus neutrals), and the competitive stuff I'd reset/bred, notably godly Beldum/Kyogre. What I have left is, like I said, what I left in my sister's team, a handful of competitive pokes.

Just beat Emerald in 11 hours, lol. Go me.

Might want to rephrase that a bit. I don't get what you mean. What I can gather is you're asking for which Pokemon give the most EVs for a particular stat (i.e. 3 EVs for that stat), namely:

HP: Nidoqueen, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Mew (lol), Azumarill, Blissey (ugh), Celebi (lol), Slaking, Exploud, Walrein, Jirachi, Lickilicky (sic?), Giratina, Manaphy, Shaymin (lol), Arceus (LOL)
Att: Nidoking, Machamp, Victreebell, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Blaziken, Swampert, Shiftry, Salamence, Groudon, Staraptor, Luxray, Garchomp, Rhyperior, Electivire, Mamoswine, Gallade, Regigigas
Def: Poliwrath, Golem, Aggron, Metagross, Regirock
SpAtt: Charizard, Vileplume, Alakazam, Gengar, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Typhlosion, Ampharos, Beautifly, Gardevoir, Latios, Kyogre, Empoleon, Roserade, Magnezone, Magmortar, PorygonZ, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran
SpDef: Blastoise, Articuno, Bellossom, Politoed, Slowking, Lugia (lol), Ho-oh (lol), Dustox, Ludicolo, Regice, Latias, Cresselia
Spd: Pidgeot, Raichu, Crobat, Jumpluff, Sceptile

Yeah, I was really bored so I typed that up. Can't see any conceivable use for it outside of utilising Secret Base battles to EV train, in which case the DP pokes are irrelevant.
