Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

IV Bragging/Inquiry Thread

Oh trust me, I thought my team couldn't be beaten, I knew nothing of IV's or anything. I got creamed my first online battle.

Not really.

IV's are what help boost EV training (IIRC).

If anything, having 25+ in IV's is only good for the stats you want to EV traini in.

IF I want to EV train in Speed, I have to make sure my Speed IV is really high. Otherwise, there's no point.

SO yes, even I got creamed when I didn't know anything about them.

Yes you can, as long as you do basic iv breeding stuff, like getting 31's in in the 2 most important stats. Even then you could settle for less and not suffer for it.

Depends on who you face and if you EV train.

I faced a guy who IV Breed and EV train in the semi-finals of the Gamestop Pokemon Battle Rev tournaments and lost bad. This was back when I was just learning EV.
(Great battle)
 
Nice. What game is it in, what nature does it have, and what is its hidden power? Eventually I'd like one if you can clone it. (A.K.A Emerald or D/P cloning glitch)

Good to hear. I've just started on the basics of EV training, and am nowhere near proper IV raising yet.
 
I'm so happy! Just trained my legit shiny floatzel to level 100. Here are his IVs: 31, 31, 29, 17, 31, 15
He rocks my socks. He has 314 attack! Though his speed could be better...
 
Trying to get a near perfect jolly Garchomp atm.

Since I'm going to all the trouble of getting the iv's, what is the best possible move set for a Garchomp to learn? I would be a little more than sad if I got the perfect Chomp, but didn't give it some egg move. ;)

I'm also looking for another pokemon to try to get perfect iv's on. Anyone know something that would be worthwhile to hatch?

What you want for Garchomp is exactly this:

IV's are to be maxed in HP/Atk/Def or 25+/Speed
Garchomp
Yache Berry
252 EV's in Atk and Speed/6 in HP or Def
Swords Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Dragon Claw

thought that i should add that either an Adamant or Jolly Nature is best.
