IV Breeding - Chapter 3. Section 2A.

Breeding for HPs(Hidden Power)

The IVs are written in the following order: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed.

A Pokemon having x/x/x/31/31/x IVs means that it has 31 IV in Special Attack and 31 IV in Special Defense, and any IV except 31 in HP, Attack, Defense and Speed.

Odds of 1:x means that the average number of eggs that need to be bred in order for the baby to have the required IVs is x.

It doesn't matter which IV out of SpA, SpD or Spe you start breeding for first, or the order with which you breed them, because these three IVs all have the same probability to be passed in EDP.

To have the maximum base power of 70, you will need each of the HP, Attack and Defense IVs to be one of the following numbers:

31, 30, 27, 26, 23, 22, 19, 18, 15, 14, 11, 10, 7, 6, 3, 2

The Hidden Power types to be bred will be tackled in the following order: Ice, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Rock, Flying, Electric, Bug, Ghost, Fire, Water, Psychic, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Poison.

Hidden Power ICE----------------------------------------------------------------

You must aim either for x/x/x/31/31/31 or for x/x/x/31/31/30. Here the method to breed for x/x/x/31/31/31 is described, since maximum speed is more important and it has a higher chance to get Hidden Power ICE.

1. x/x/x/x/x/31 + x/x/x/x/x/x = x/x/x/x/x/31 (1:4)

2. x/x/x/x/31/x + x/x/x/x/x/31 = x/x/x/x/31/31 (1:17)

3. a) x/x/x/x/31/31 + x/x/x/31/x/x = x/x/x/31/31/x (1:17)
or b) x/x/x/x/31/31 + x/x/x/31/x/x = x/x/x/31/x/31 (1:17)

4. a) x/x/x/31/31/x + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:54)
or b) x/x/x/31/x/31 + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:54)

5. a) x/x/x/31/31/31 + x/x/x/31/31/x = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:29)
or b) x/x/x/31/31/31 + x/x/x/31/x/31 = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:29)
or c) x/x/x/31/31/31 + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:29)

6. x/x/x/31/31/31 + x/x/x/31/31/31 = x/x/x/31/31/31 (1:16)

About every 16th baby will now have a chance to have Hidden Power ICE with base power at least 65, if any one of the following holds:

* HP IV is an odd number, Defense IV and Attack IV are even numbers
* Attack IV is an odd number, HP IV and Defense IV are even numbers
* HP IV, Attack IV and Defense IV are all even numbers

This means that the highest IVs you can have for Hidden Power ICE with a 31 Speed IV are either 31/30/30/31/31/31 or 30/31/30/31/31/31.

Hidden Power GRASS------------------------------------------------------------------

You must aim for x/x/x/30/31/31.

1. x/x/x/x/x/31 + x/x/x/x/x/x = x/x/x/x/x/31 (1:4)

2. x/x/x/x/31/x + x/x/x/x/x/31 = x/x/x/x/31/31 (1:17)

3. a) x/x/x/x/31/31 + x/x/x/30/x/x = x/x/x/30/31/x (1:17)
or b) x/x/x/x/31/31 + x/x/x/30/x/x = x/x/x/30/x/31 (1:17)

4. a) x/x/x/30/31/x + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:54)
or b) x/x/x/30/x/31 + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:54)

5. a) x/x/x/30/31/31 + x/x/x/30/31/x = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:29)
or b) x/x/x/30/31/31 + x/x/x/30/x/31 = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:29)
or c) x/x/x/30/31/31 + x/x/x/x/31/31 = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:29)

6. x/x/x/30/31/31 + x/x/x/30/31/31 = x/x/x/30/31/31 (1:16)

About every 16th baby will now have a chance to have Hidden Power GRASS with base power at least 65, if any one of the following holds:

* HP IV is an even number, Attack IV and Defense IV are odd numbers
* Attack IV is an even number, HP IV and Defense IV are odd numbers
* Attack IV is an odd number, HP IV and Defense IV are even numbers
* Defense IV is an even number, HP IV and Attack IV are odd numbers
* Defense IV is an odd number, HP IV and Attack IV are even numbers

This means that the highest IVs you can have for Hidden Power GRASS are either 30/31/31/30/31/31, 31/30/31/30/31/31 or 31/31/30/30/31/31.

Note that if you want either Hidden Power ICE or Hidden Power GRASS, you can breed a x/x/x/30/31/31 parent with a x/x/x/31/31/31 parent.

Hidden Power FIGHTING-------------------------------------------------------------

You must aim for x/x/x/30/30/30.

1. x/x/x/x/x/30 + x/x/x/x/x/x = x/x/x/x/x/30 (1:4)

2. x/x/x/x/30/x + x/x/x/x/x/30 = x/x/x/x/30/30 (1:17)

3. a) x/x/x/x/30/30 + x/x/x/30/x/x = x/x/x/30/30/x (1:17)
or b) x/x/x/x/30/30 + x/x/x/30/x/x = x/x/x/30/x/30 (1:17)

4. a) x/x/x/30/30/x + x/x/x/x/30/30 = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:54)
or b) x/x/x/30/x/30 + x/x/x/x/30/30 = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:54)

5. a) x/x/x/30/30/30 + x/x/x/30/30/x = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:29)
or b) x/x/x/30/30/30 + x/x/x/30/x/30 = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:29)
or c) x/x/x/30/30/30 + x/x/x/x/30/30 = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:29)

6. x/x/x/30/30/30 + x/x/x/30/30/30 = x/x/x/30/30/30 (1:16)

About every 16th baby will now have a chance to have Hidden Power FIGHTING with base power at least 65, if the Defense IV is an even number. The HP IV and the Attack IV can be any number you want.

This means that the highest IVs you can have for Hidden Power FIGHTING are 31/31/30/30/30/30.

You must aim either for x/x/x/30/30/31 or for x/x/x/31/30/30. Here the method to breed for x/x/x/30/30/31 is described, since maximum speed is more important and it has a higher chance to get Hidden Power GROUND.

Hidden Power FLYING-----------------------------------------------------------------

You must aim either for x/x/x/30/30/31 or for x/x/x/30/30/30. Both breeding methods are described here, since the former benefits from maximum speed while the latter has a higher chance of getting Hidden Power FLYING.
