If it has jolly nature, it'll be usable regardless. It'd be silly to turn down a cool pokemon just because its IVs aren't as high.

Plus it's a 60% shot at passing HAs down, so that would be...

.00073206442 * .5 * .6 = .00021961933

My advice? If you get a shiny, any shiny, take it and run.

I already have a 31/31/31/x/31/31, Jolly, Male, Outrage Garchomp.

I just want a shiny version of it. Unless it has those exact IV's, nature, and ability, then it will always be worse than what I already have.

But it'll sparkle, and that's what's important. Plus I'd settle for a female fitting all your other requirements, it'll at least make you hate your life marginally less in the long run. But either way, best of luck bro!

I seriously need to rethink my life right now.
I've been using females all this time.

Females can pass down egg moves. Males can pass down HA's.
I don't know what to believe anymore.

I thought the female thing wasn't a 100% chance?

I regret not noticing my first Tyrunt was female until it was too late.
I need a male.

It isn't 100%, but it's possible.

I'm doing the same thing for my crippler Delphox, but I got a wee problem in that the mother only has 3IVs to pass down while the father does have the right five I want.
Finding foreign mons of the Fennekin line with 4-5IVs and Magician is terribly tricky via the GTS though.

I've decided I'm going to Masuda myself a competitive Garchomp, and I'm praying that if/when I get it, it's actually competitively viable (or intense trade bait.)
I'm going in with two Garchomp. Everstone on Dad for Jolly Nature, Destiny Knot on Mom for IV spread. The mother has her hidden ability which I THINK means it's guaranteed to pass down this gen? I know it was 60% last time, but I'll be hopeful. It's 60%, dammit. The Dad has Outrage as an egg move. The Dad has 5 perfect IV's, skipping Sp. Atk, and the Mother has 4, skipping HP and Sp. Atk. Let's do the math.

Chance of shiny with Masuda Method (assuming same as Gen V) = 1/1366
Chance of Outrage passing down = 1/1
Chance of Nature passing down = 1/1
Chance of being male = 1/2
Chance Rough Skin passing down = 3/5

IV's are weird, I'll need someone more advanced in numbers than me to help me out with that so I can run the numbers.


'...For I am cut from your mortal fears.'⊰


6/8192 of Masuda shiny.
1/2 of being male.
3/5 of being HA.
17/192 of getting 5 IVs (and Special Attack as whatever.)

(There are two scenarios that are valid.
1/192 of HP being chosen as the random, plus getting a 31 on its own;
1/12 of SAtt being chosen as the random, plus the father passing.)

Overall odds: ~1/51400. ~(1/25200 if you don't worry about child gender.)

How did you calculate IV's? Math isn't my forte, but I'd like to know for the future.

You said your parents were:

Father $ $ $ k $ $ (5 maxed other than SAtt)
Mother p $ $ n $ $ (4 maxed, not HP or SAtt)

With the Destiny Knot, 5 IVs are chosen to come from the parents, so there's a flat 1/6 chance that a stat is not chosen (and left to its own RNG.)

So if HP is chosen to be random (1/6), then it looks like this:

# $ $ (k or n) $ $.
# is a random number between 0-31 (an uncontrolled IV.) Since this is 1/32 probability, 1/6 x 1/32 = 1/192.

----

If SAtt is chosen (1/6):

($ or p) $ $ # $ $
HP is chosen between the parents at 1/2 probability: 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12.

----

Now something I didn't consider is if one of the other stats is chosen for random (essentially 2/3, since they all work the same.) Speed is used as the example.

($ or p) $ $ (k or n) $ #.
So you would need to deal with the 1/32 chance of # being 31, and the chance of HP coming from the father:
1/2 x 1/32 x 2/3 = 1/96.


So, in the interest of admitting the resulting error, your total chance of getting your desired 5 IVs is 1/12 + 1/96 + 1/192 = 19/192...

...and your final odds are improved to ~1/45990.

I hope that makes sense. 3nodding

A five-IV hidden ability shiny male Gible... yes, that's the chance of getting what you want. 3nodding You can get it down to about 1/23k if you would settle for a female.

Oh well those are much better odds.

I guess I'll decide when I finally get down to it.
