ULTIMATE Breeding Guide: Perfect IVs, Natures, Egg Moves | Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

[@bemphill1665]

Just a little tip, if you have a dome fossil it will more than likely have 4 perfect ivs that you can breed with your bidoof and speed up the process

[@zouzouta2590]

nice hint, also works for the other fossils . just need to work the list in the other direction then :)

[@yommmrr]

Does this work with the lake trio? 2 of mine had 4 Max ivs

[@illestnino1]

[@imnotgonnasugarcoatit]

@@illestnino1 They mean if you can use them for breeding

[@DymnHasatori]

Just a quick thing to point out: You can just completely skip the whole need of doing Poke Radar for IVs with this stuff via fossils. Omanyte and Kabuto from the Dome and Helix fossils in the under ground after getting the national Dex, when revived from the fossil reviving guy in the first gym city, will always be created with 3 IVs being max guaranteed, and are part of Water 1 and Water 3 egg group. So, just get a couple of either, at least 1 male and female, hopefully with the 3 best IVs in separate stats, and eventually you will get a 6 Iv one as male, which the fossil mons are more likely to be male too, so chances of it being female 6iv are quite low. Just for anyone who really dislikes Poke Radar.

[@PhillyBeatzU]

YOOOOOOO

[@paulchen3993]

why are they always "3 IVs being max guaranteed", that is so nice

I cannot totally understand the above mentioned: which is gonna be skipped if you get perfect IVs of omanyte/Kabuto? Thanks in advance 👍😊!

[@we.allwin]

@@pablodraco3411 You can skip using the pokeradar to stage 40, which also gaurantees 3 perfect IVs but has a 5% chance to get to

[@kurasusoratobu]

If you are wanting to start breeding with more easily accessible Pokemon, I have some recommendations: Field/Monster: Instead of Nidoran, use Rhyhorn (it's accessible in the underground much sooner than Nidoran!) Field/Human-Like: Instead of Spinda, use Buneary. Water 1/Water 3: Instead of Corphish, Omanyte or Kabuto *may* be more accessible; however, while they automatically start with 3+ IVs, they also have a much lower percentage of females so it's a big toss-up. Faerie/Grass: Instead of Hoppip, use Roselia These are 1:1 replacements for the chart above; that is to say, it's not diverging from the path and pairings. Just some more easily acessible replacements to some of the suggestions above!

[@seoulfulmatt6155]

Playing BDSP is like starting Pokémon all over again since I don't know how to transfer all my Pokémon from Ultra Moon since I didn't play Sword/Shield. This guide is perfect for someone like me. Thank you for breaking down every single aspect that is required for Pokémon breeding!

[@PhillyBeatzU]

I’m so glad this helped you

[@ttvBRich14]

Hey so when BDSP gets access to pokemon HOME, which has been confirmed to be happening even though we don’t know exactly when (hopefully early 2022), you’ll be able to bring anything compatible with these games from HOME into BDSP. Therefore, you never even have to play Sword or Shield to bring your Ultra Moon pokemon up! Simply subscribe to Pokemon Bank on the 3DS, put all of the pokemon you want to transfer up in the Bank, and use the built in Bank -> HOME transfer to bring them into HOME, ready to be put in BDSP when connection finally happens :)

[@lessvalue9167]

You dont need sword and shield to transfer you can transfer pokemon from 3ds titles to switch with pokemon bank and pokemon home!! Altho you cant bring pokemon from pokemon home on the switch into brilliant diamond but it is said its going to be added later on! Hope this helps you out bruddah

[@Pyrogecko08]

If you are doing any breeding without ditto, I recommend getting a male pokemon with the ability cute charm, at the head of your party it will force most wild encounters to be female, so you can start breeding new species faster. It even works on entire caverns of the grand underground as the pokemon spawn, and can be switched out to a different lead pokemon before the encounters start.

[@christophersmith9074]

dose this work both ways?

[@mortalandfragile]

Been breeding for competitive since gen iv, and always defaulted to ditto. Never knew much about egg groups and all that, so this was a pleasant surprise. Quality content here 👌🏻

[@PhillyBeatzU]

Im so glad this helped you out. After researching myself, I was mind blown that I didnt have to use Ditto.

[@bricksandtravel]

Isn't using a ditto easier?

[@mortalandfragile]

@@bricksandtravel yes, but in bdsp, you need to get a chain of 40+ with the pokeradar to get a ditto with 4 or more perfect ivs and you have very slim chances of getting to a chain of 40. It's easier in these games to just do the bidoof method, unless you wanna wait for home compatibility

[@bricksandtravel]

@@mortalandfragile can't you just get 2 ditto with 3 ivs and breed them a ton with destiny knot, until you get a good offspring, then put the better ditto as a parent and continue?

[@kurasusoratobu]

A great breeding helper, particularly the 'Bidoof Breeding'. Thanks to someone giving a 3IV breedject Aerodactyl in trade, I used it to reverse-engineer a 5IV (so far) Farfetch'd. Which will help me get my breeding team together for all the competitive stuff! When it comes to breeding, something I would recommend is getting a high-IV male Smeargle for your breeding pool. Unless they have changed how it works, Sketch will copy any move permanently, allowing that Smeargle to pass *any* egg moves to *any* Field group Pokemon. It can really save you tons of time.

[@PhillyBeatzU]

Ayeee so glad you his helped

[@Mazzl67]

Just a quick hint on the Flame Bodies, Magby had Flame Body as well, so you don't need to evolve it to Magmar. But the easier thing is just using a Pokemon with Magma Armor. So every Slugma and Magcargo works, as it can only have Magma Armor or Flame Body but you can also use Camerupts, which you can find in the "normal" caves AND the volcanic ones. We don't have access to Pokemon with Steam Engine in BDSP but those would work as well.

[@DeathBySeksy]

A really solid guide for breeding. Breeding has always been daunting and confusing to me and never bothered doing it until now. I’ll try the Bidoof method but found that catching a male and female Bidoof with at least 2-5 IVs is pretty challenging because most of the ones I caught have garbage IV spread.

[@PhillyBeatzU]

It’s def easier than ditto and thanks for watching :]

[@Pyrogecko08]

I would recommend starting with the revived fossils too, even if it means just starting with one egg group, you can get 6ivs much faster starting with three guaranteed, and you can still chain into the other groups. You could start with a version exclusive fossil in the monster group, breed it with nidoran, breed nidoran with bidoof, and then follow the rest of the chart to fill out the rest of your egg groups.

[@Contherage]

I thought the destiny knot only passed on 5 from the one holding it. I didn't realize that it was a total of 5 from both parents. Actually very useful information, thank you.

Btw @@PhillyBeatzU what method did you like the most. Personally I like the Bidoof strategy

[@Pika250]

If you started with Chimchar, your starter can easily play Spinda's role, being in the same egg group pair (field and humanlike). The only caveat is that getting a female Chimchar as your starter is not easy (the "1 in 8" category to be specific). Piplup is field and water1 like Bidoof so that's out of the question, and Turtwig is monster and grass (maybe as an alternate path to grass through Nidoran instead of Hoppip through Marill? but then you'd have the same problem of needing a "1 in 8" female) Also, Pachirisu is field and fairy (as an option to replace Marill) and has possible Pickup, and Destiny Knot is a 1% pickup item from anything level 21 or higher with that ability.

[@PhillyBeatzU]

I would like to clarify, when it comes to the Destiny Knot, it Passes down 3 IVs from the Holder of the Destiny Knot and 2 IVs from the other parent, it doesn't guarantee that each stat chosen will be different either, it's possible for the Speed Stat to be chosen on both parents for example, what actually happens when this occurs I still don't know, but I assume the higher value is passed down, but I haven't gone out of my way to test it.

[@JackPyro333]

Good guide, but I have a couple of things I noticed that could be better for whoever does the bidoof method. First of all, spinda is a bad pokemon to put up for the human-like category, since it's a swarm encounter only. Buneary is way better. Second of all, you don't need to use remoraid for two of the phase 3 pokémon, since both Marill and Corphish can breed with bidoof. So you can leave your 6 IV male bidoof for all of phase 2 and 3 except for magicarp.

[@Thug_Nose]

Objection at 4:31 Having the perfect IV’s isn’t always the best scenario. Like if you want a pokemon to be intentionally slower than your opponent you would go for 0 IV’s. Or with hidden power, different types are with having different IV’s

I understand all the parts separately, but not sure how to put them together and what order to do them. First get a 6 IV bidoof by using destiny know and cycling pokemon with better IVs in. Can use fossil pokemon for boost at start. First you get the "egg family breed team" of male pokemon with 6 IVs by using destiny knot on male and cycling in better and better females Now we want a female with the right nature, this is done via catching a pokemon in same egg group with a synchronise leading pokemon. We pass this onto our desired pokemon by having the right natured pokemon hold an everstone, until we get a female offspring. We then also want to make sure this female pokemon of the right nature has the right ability. We then breed this with our 6 IV male with destinty knot from same "egg family breed team", with it holding the main desired Power IV type (once its max'd) to get 6 IV desired pokemon We can then give it egg moves without breeding with the move deleter method Is that all right?

I was gonna buckle down and try to chain ditto to get 1 with decent ivs. Went in deciding I was gonna faint them up to 17ish then catch them from there on out and keep my eye out for the 2iv animation. Regardless on my 6th chain the animation came and I caught a timid 3 perfect iv. I kept going trying to get the other good nature's, but barely could get 1 perfect iv. Pretty lucky.

[@Kraiglyndor]

I caught a ditto with perfect defense, but also 0 IVs in Attack, Sp.Atk, and Speed. I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at breeding worst Pokémon I can. I was looking into Delibird because it has 330 base stats, weak typing, and a signature attack that can heal the opponent. It’s ability, hustle, makes physical moves more powerful but also less accurate. I haven’t decided what other moves I should give it or which nature and EV spread would be good (bad). There’s also the idea of giving it perfect attack IVs and a helpful nature without any good physical moves so it will hit itself for more damage if it ever survives long enough to be confused. The moves I’ve been thinking over are present (signature move, chance to heal), counter (dies too fast to use, don’t know if the ), fake out (can only be used first turn its out to flinch), endure (survive and drag things out for as long as you’re lucky), substitute (imagine this in a trick room, paired with-), destiny bond (-to drag them down with you), pluck (for a chance to steal their berry), icicle spear (2-5 chances to miss), blizzard (70 accuracy special if we’re going with the maxed out attack), and splash. I haven’t even started on the hold item and which ball to use. There’s just too many options and I can’t seem to pick between themes of pitifully weak, annoying pest, or surprisingly vicious (in a trick room).

Do you have to catch the Pokémon with the synchronized Pokémon out to guarantee the nature?

[@russellrothman7077]

When breeding 2 pokemon with 5 ivs is it better for them to have 31 in the same stats or different? I have 3 5 iv bidoofs(2 male 1 female) but they're all in the same stats. Also I'm using destiny knot, but does it help the odds slightly to also use a power item on the other parent?

You can also get everstone if you trade for haunter

[@PhillyBeatzU]

True!!!

[@celdox8471]

another method to get a everstone is do trade a meditalis against the apollo in Snowpoint City in the top left house. This one wears a everstone. Best methode to get one bevor the national dex
