I can get you one for free if you give me 5 minutes. Dream Ball, Nest Ball, or Net Ball?

I'm really not fussy, but that would be great :D
Okay, go ahead and add me, I'll get online. Dream matches best, so you can have that one :)
Ace :) I'm ready when you are :)
Ehm, what do you mean?
Sorry buddy, my laptop is running slow so I must have replied to the wrong person. Thanks for the offer though!
Thanks for the help mate - if there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know :)

Don't use nidoran. Do Illumise instead.
More specifically nidoran and Illumise swap vs the regular gender ratio (it's more complex than this but that's what it amounts to), and everyone has nidoran, so breed a volbeat
So I'm catching Ho-Oh (to unlock the dogs) in OR...any suggestions for the ball that would go best with it?
I might be completely off course here, but why do I breed an Illumise? :/ I want a flawless female nidoran xD

My point was you won't get it with that spread, so breed something else
Basically, Nidoran are weird in that the genders get reversed. I.e. a male TMM spread will yield female Nido and a female TMM spread yields a male Nido. Same for Volbeat/Illumise.
Ah okay :/ Why does that happen, is it because nidoran is only one gender? (just curious)

.com knows more about the exact algorithms and stuff, but essentially what MagnusArcanum said is true. It has to do with how the rng calls gender.
Just to say, I don't actually know exact algorithms for that in particular... Buuuut:
NidoranF/NidoranM and Volbeat/Illumise have their genders calculated in the same way as other Pokémon
But the game makers apparently got confused when the "gender" determines the species rather than just gender. So for Volbeat/Illumise and NidoranF/NidoranM: 0–127 = male; 128+ = female. So it'll be the opposite gender to whatever test species you used (assuming you didn't use one of those two to test).
A number between 0–255 (0x00–0xFF) is computed, and then the gender ratio of the species is used to determine the gender.
• 12.5% female Pokémon;
- 0–31 = female; 32+ = male
• 25% female;
- 0–63 = female; 64+ = male
• 50% female;
- 0–127 = female; 128+ = male
• 75 female;
- 0–191 = female; 192+ = male.
This number never gets used to determine gender for genderless/mono-gendered Pokémon; it gets used to calculate something else (no idea what). But that means everything which normally gets calculated after gender (including IV inheritance) will change, even though your "time machine state" is the same.
For example: Say the game generates 4 random numbers to make a Pokémon, and the first of these is used for gender, second for nature, etc. Then on a mono-gendered species, the first isn't used for gender, so gets used for nature, then the second used for whatever's next. So you end up with something which looks completely different, but really it's just been "shifted along" by 1 call.

Didn't catch all that about the species et all, but thanks for the info! :)
I have a flawless if you want to use that to breed your own. I don't have a spitback.
edit: I added you and I'm online but I don't see you on there yet.

Excellent. Thanks! I'm gonna add you right away. My info is in my signature.

You can borrow my Rhyperior, if you still need it, but I'd like her back immediatly.
Yesterday another user already gave me all the Pokémon I needed, but thanks anyway! :)
Can someone please check my Friend Safari for me and see what Pokémon I give out? FC is in signature, and I have beaten the E4. Also, this is my first time doing this, so what do I need to do to be online at the same time as you?
I can help :) All you have to do is add me and then come online in the game (as if we were going to trade). I'm free now, so I'll add you and head online. I'll give you a Nice when I see you, and at that point you can just log off again. :)
