it's unfortunate that breeding a perfect iv staryu more or less requires access to a ditto friend safari, and catching a ton of same-natured dittos with different maxed ivs

since staryu can only breed with ditto due to no gender

what nature do you want for ditto? i can help
synchronize helps a lot

you have access to a ditto friend safari? and yeah it does. i could easily just make a timid abra and find timid dittos that way in friend safari...if i had access to ditto in it to begin with.

at the moment, i need a bunch of timids

while i do have one timid, it has attack and defense maxed. even if i only went with two maxed ivs, these are not particularly good ones for staryu (well, defense is fine).

[Samus Aran]

the timid ditto i have passed its attack and defense maxed ivs to a baby staryu after literally only one try

so i'm already at a dead end and need timid dittos with different maxed ivs lol

the dittos don't have to be same-natured

once you have a timid staryu, give it an everstone and get more timid staryu while giving destiny knot to the dittos

but it requires a lot more time or luck than gendered pokemon because you can't use 3 or 4 IV staryus as a second parent to replace ditto

i'll just catch a lot of dittos for hell's sake

i was under the impression that ditto overrides the usual "either parent holding the everstone gives a one-hundred percent nature passing" thing. and that when breeding with ditto, you have to give the everstone to a natured ditto to be absolutely sure that it passes.

at least, that's what i'm pretty sure i read on bulbapedia at some point.

[PLEASEHELP1991]

caught one timid ditto

[Patrick Stickles]

nature of parent holding everstone is now always passed (since gen v i think)

[PLEASEHELP1991]

two imposter dittos with timid nature rofl

[Samus Aran]

ok yeah upon looking at bulbapedia again, the ditto nature override is from way back in gen iii rofl

i'm not sure why i remembered that and thought it was still current

anyway felt regardless of nature, if you have any friend safari dittos you'd be willing to throw my way, i'd love to have them

[Patrick Stickles]

i did the dumb thing of making a bunch of synchronizers and not catching a buttload of dittos

i mean i can just catch them with the synchronizers now but still

Going for my first Masuda shiny. Pancham, my favorite of this gen.

200 eggs down. Abusing Hatching O Power makes it better. Can't wait to get level 2 and 3.
