If you caught them within a Friend Safari, they are guaranteed to have at least two perfect IVs as well. Anything beyond that is luck.

I guess I am lucky then, as I caught them at the beginning of the game with no special tricks involved.

The Pokemon Global Link was updated today. www.pokemon-gl.com for those that don't know.

 

You can get a Discount Coupon for 50% off a clothing item. And there's a terribly lame Balloon popping game you can do to get random Evolution items and the EV Reducing Berries.

 

It seems random which item you get. Though I think I'll save some Pokemiles for future attractions too. Sending the items to the game atm seems to be having trouble though. Might just be a server overload yet again.

 

Of course with 160,000 Pokemiles, it's easy to save some for the future. Kinda hoping they give out Eevees with special moves or something.

I really hope they offer this as a purchasable item later on the mileage shop. Luminous botique's prices mock me each time I go there. >_>

 

The idea of getting extra items in the little minigame there seems neat. I do kinda need some of those items. XD I'll have to check it out some time.

I'm having more problems with them offering something I don't have than their prices. For some reason the stock doesn't seem to change. I'm currently sitting on 4.8mil with nothing to buy. E4 + Luck Incense + Lv.3 Prize Money Power pretty much.

So, how about that Pokebank...  Oh, wait... Nintendo announced that they'd announce in a future date when it would come out...

[HylianGlaceon]

So I finally hatched a Shiny Eevee, not really the stats I wanted, but surely will be more to come.

 

Male, Anticipation, Jolly natured in a Nest Ball. IVs: 31/31/0/31/xx/31 (In case it weren't obvious, aiming for Leafeon)

 

Terrible 0 IV Defense, Unknown Sp. Def and unneeded 31 Sp. Atk. Aw well, not really going for competitive anyway I guess. I'm currently stuck with a 5IV Japanese Male Eevee, so if I ever upgrade to a 6IV one there will be less chance of getting garbage stats.I was also using a junky Female Eevee since I don't have a good one with Nest Ball yet.

[thepsynergist]

I have a 5IV Anticipation Eevee with Hyper Voice and Wish ready once Pokebank shows its face...

[HylianGlaceon]

Aw no 6IV? Still sounds like it took a lot of breeding to get that then. Breeding still kinda sucked in Gen 5, right? I still really need to get one of those games for the Bank too. Lots to transfer from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum still.

Let's just say, I'm really glad they buffed Destiny Knot.

 

EDIT: Also, for a special sweeper, you can opt for 0 IV's in attack, since when you're confused, it relys on your attack stat for damage, doing a base 40 normal non-stab damage to yourself to calculate confusion damage.  The lower your attack, the less damage you'll deal to yourself.

My competitive team is juuuust about assembled now. I just got my Dragonite. Still need to teach her the moves, but the longest part is out of the way. (Leveling to 55 to get Dragonite in the first place) Also got Breloom a little while back that's only missing substitute. The rest of my team I've had pretty much on stand-by for awhile now. Basically, it's getting moves and items at this point, which should be fairly simple.

Congrats on getting a shiny Eevee! Sorry to hear it didn't quite work out the way you hoped entirely. But still, a shiny Eevee is cool!

Yeah, to be fair it's probably better than the ones I chained for in DPPl, but would still liked it to have better Defenses for sure. Probably still gonna train and evolve it into a Leafeon, even if it's hardly noticeable in color differences.

 

On another note: People can be weird. Like I was Super Training my new Shiny Eevee and got like 5 trade requests in a row from a Passerby to trade. Dunno what exactly she was looking for, but I eventually agreed to trade and traded her 3 leftover Eevees that are still perfect for using. I had a message up that I was Hatching Eevees, so I'm assuming that's what she was looking for. If not, I have like 8 boxes full of spare Eevees with good IVs anyway, so not much lost. She does have some Eevees that will make a great Espeon (In Heal Ball), Leafeon (in Nest Ball) and whatever Special Sweeper Evolution for the last (In a Luxury Ball).

 

I wish it wasn't such a pain to communicate without the Voice Chat. Why can't we send messages to each other? It's not like we can't do that with Voice Chat anyway. *sigh*

Well apparently the Pokebank just kinda popped back in Japan.

Gasp (Even if some of the news was kinda late, such as the subspace absence in new smash bros.)

So, I was breeding like crazy and I finally got my 5 IV Dragonite. It's level 81 right now and is set up the way I plan to use him.

For anyone who is curious:

IVs 31/31/31/31/29/31 (the special defence was somewhere around 29 or something)
Nature: Adamant

Ability: Inner Focus
Item: Dragon Fang

 

Moveset: Fire Punch, Dragon Dance, Earthquake (to take care of those pesky fairy types), and Dragon Claw.
Also, a little comment about using Earthquake on Fairy Types. I know it isn't super effective, but it still is a good damage dealer to the main ones I have to worry about nonetheless.

 

I plan on breeding a whole team of perfect Pokemon and I am also helping my loving fiancee by breeding her some perfect pokemon of her choosing.
Let's just say I feel like the PokePimp.

[thepsynergist]

Not so sure about the Dragon Fang.  It would do a lot better with Leftovers or a Lum Berry in case of a Burn.  Sorry that it isn't a Multiscale Dragonite, as that would be a lot better.  Replace Earthquake with Roost.  You'd be a fool to keep that in against a Fairy, anyway (if it were Multiscale, you could just DDance with a Weakness Policy.)
