No because there are a lot better natures out there besides Bashful. You should be using a Synch in front of that by the way.

I wouldn't sweat it too much man, you always have the chance of finding someone who will trade you a competitive one. There's more than a hand full of shiny maniacs who wouldn't think twice about trading their own mother for any random shiny, much less a perfectly competitive legendary as well as folks who either aren't competitive players and don't care about stats as long as they have a pokemon they think is worth the trade or are just content with trading with people and having fun.
HP is a really unfortunate stat to have a 0 in, because it compromises your ability to take both physical and special hits. On the other hand, the nature and offensive stats are perfect. I'm on the fence and so would probably not keep it.
Well I got my Hasty Yveltal
HP: 25
Att: 31
Def: 31
SpA: 28
SpD: 31
Speed: 31
The 25 HP and 28 SpA really made me OCD out, but everyone in #Pokemon told me to keep it, so I did!
Also, I used a sorta new tactic to get this Yveltal rather fast. Since Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mewtwo have abilities that give out activation messages, you can use a Pokémon with another ability message that's 1 speed point lower, and figure out the speed before you even move! This saved a nice bit of time, since I could tell if the Yveltal was borked before the move selection screen even came out!
For this purpose, I actually ended up using another Yveltal I got on GTS, and super trained that one to be 129 Speed. It also meant that the dex description didn't come up when I caught Yveltal, saving even more time!

Always go for 31 speed on these guys. For HP, I would like that to be higher. Here's how I do it, if it has anything lower than 198 HP (24 IVs), I don't even check it, I just toss it. Your call, but I personally would not keep that.
Well I finally got to Kiloude city and the judge confirmed IV's are 28-29/x/30/31/31/31. Since wifi lvl's are set to 50 I'm thinking of setting its EV's to around 4 in HP 146 in DEF 252 in SPA and 108 in SPE just to get that 201 HP since with 146 it's DEF will still be at 133 according to calculators. Any thoughts or opinions?
You technically don't need any opinions. That's almost perfect.
Zygarde
Nature: Adamant
HP: 31
Attack: 31
Defense: 31
Sp. Attack: 26
Sp. Defense: 10-11
Speed: 26-27
Speed is just high enough to outspeed anything without a Choice Scarf in OU after two Dragon Dances. Sp. Defense is disappointing, but most of the other stats are just what I want.

Yeah I know I'm just OCD like that lol I did spend 2 days looking for it after all and passed up a good number of runner ups for it
Thanks for the feedback! I ended up ditching it before your reply for those very reasons.
Thanks, but I just find super training easier, I already got a almost perfectly ev trained axew(It's hard to do a perfect ev train!)
I ditched the previous Zygarde I caught, and I now have this one:
Zygarde
Impish
HP: 31
Attack: 31
Defense: 31
Sp. Atk: 7
Sp. Def: 15
Speed: 25
Speed is at the bare minimum I'll accept. I'd like to run a double boosting set on it, so I'm not sure if this is all right or if I should opt for Adamant instead.

Out of curiosity has anyone bothered to SR for perfect IV's for the event Torchic? or have most of you done like me and just got one to breed and are just gonna use Mega Blaziken if your gonna use him at all
I would go for Adamant man. With his movepool he looks like he's better used as a DD sweeper especially with Extremespeed. His bulk is more of just a bonus than the main attraction
I wouldn't bother going for perfect IVs since you need to breed Baton Pass onto it anyway. But thanks to changes in inheritance, starting with a few perfect IVs could really help speed up the process.
Yes
or we could just breed for a better one which will involve less hassle
Thanks. I actually ended up keeping hours before I saw your reply but I appreciate the input. I figured since I can always get another one I may as well keep this one.
31 / x / 22 / 31 / 31 / 31 Turned out to be the final IVS.
It's perfect. Not like mmx is going to be timid anyhow.
What's MMX running at the moment? Modest? I don't usually look into anything other than OU.
Er, disregard that. I had the two mixed up.

Yeah I figured as much. I tried for a couple hours just to see what I could get I think the best one I ever found had 30 in SPA (which I dont use) and SPD. Thanks guys
