On a vaguely related note, for those of you who didn't know, ever since Gen 4 the likelihood of shinies in eggs is much greater when it has a foreign parent.

Masuda method. The odds are multiplied by 4, if I'm not mistaken. It goes from 1/8192 to 1 in 2 thousand something.

It's actually what Alder uses to fly away on when he flies. That's how I found out.

He's what I use for my breeding. Which reminds me, I'll be offering up some fantastic Pokerus infected young uns with egg moves and good IVs in the near future.

A flying egg hatcher?
It's about freaking time GF.

Kayo · March 23, 2011, 08:35:12 AM

Oh yes. My Larvesta is at level 57. Won't be long now. I'll have my Volcarona before I finish this Elite Four run.

Also, does anyone plan on using a Volcarona other than to hatch eggs?

I will. A separate one, though. For the one I'll use in battles, I'll bother with natures and EVs and such. For this one I'm not.
But it's got that Quiver Dance move. As long as it survives a hit in order to set up, it may be unstoppable. That huge Rock weaknesses is really hurting it though. Along with the poor Defense. But I'll use it anyway. I know I can make it work. With a Bold nature and max IVs/EVs, defense gets to 251 and HP is around 374. If I choose to invest in those I might survive, but then I lose tons of speed or Sp. Atk, and Quiver Dance becomes less dynamic.

This is tough. For now, I'll just work on this egghatcher so I can get my Hydreigon.

I might give it a shot in competitive play.

Kayo · March 23, 2011, 10:26:54 AM

Awesome, I now have a Volcarona.

I can now get five eggs, fly to the "Marvelous" bridge and get tons of EV feathers, and fly back. Without hitting the PC once except to deposit hatched pokemon.

Six eggs in a party?

Actually more. When my party's full sometimes I'll deposit a few eggs into the PC to collect more. Then when there's that "drought" period where eggs are hatching faster then the Day-Care man can give them to you, I can go into the PC and grab a few of the eggs I put there.

So...one of those six eggs in your party with no Pokemon will actually protect you when you're busy hatching them?

Who the intercourse wouldn't carry a pokemon with them? I have my Volcarona.

I also have 8 Deino eggs currently waiting to be hatched. Yes, Final stage Deino.

I'm going to try to hatch an Adamant Gyrados.
Aside from Atk, what other IVs should it have?

Depends. You probably want speed, but if you're using Dragon Dance you really don't need to be perfect in attack (You should be close by just a few points though)

Also make sure the other IVs (besides Sp. Atk) are not below... 15-20. You don't have to be perfect, but I hate settling for single digits in defensive stats.

Yeah, I'm using Dragon Dance.
Defense seems to be the lowest part of its bulk, so I'll get 31 for that.

Why? Once you get set up you won't need defense. Like I said, you don't need perfection. I'd make attack and speed your priority.
