 Hello friends, I hope you're all doing great. For anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's video, we are going to be covering how you get perfect Pokemon in Pokemon's Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So a lot of you will already be aware of some of the breeding mechanics that we're going to be covering in today's video. But if you're not aware of them, don't worry, we're going to be covering absolutely everything you will need to know. So by the end of the guide, you're going to be able to go away and breed your own flawless IV competitive Pokemon. But before we get into the guide, what we need to do is pick up a few important items. Now, the first item that we're going to have to locate is the Everstone. Now the Everstone, when you give it to a parent Pokemon and put it into the daycare center, whatever nature is on that parent Pokemon will always be guaranteed to pass down to the egg Pokemon. To find the Everstone, you can find it in a number of locations around the Sinnoh region. One of those is by visiting the ground underground and then mining for the item. Now, this isn't a guaranteed method because it may take you a very long period of time to get it. It is an item that is available in the ground underground by mining, but could take a long time to get. But it is one method to get this item. The other way to get the Everstone in a guaranteed way to get it is by visiting Route 217. Once you're at this area, you try and encounter a Medicham. Now, once you encounter a Medicham, you catch it, then take it to Snowpoint City, visit this house, talk to this NPC who will offer you a trade for a Haunter. Now, this is probably the biggest meme in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl because you're thinking when you get the Haunter traded, you're going to get a Gengar. But no, you actually get a Haunter. The bonus is, though, that the Haunter is holding an Everstone and that is primarily the main use of an Everstone to stop a Pokémon from evolving when it's holding it. But the other use is what we've already mentioned about passing natures down from a parent to an egg Pokémon. So this is a guaranteed way to get the Everstone. The next item we need is probably the most important one in this entire video, and that is the Destiny Knot. The Destiny Knot can be found in Route 224. This is a route only accessible in the post game of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. You need to beat the Elite Four, obtain the National Dex, and this route off of the Victory Road will open up. You can then visit there and pick the Destiny Knot up. And you can also have the Slim Chance to pick it up with a Pickup Ability Pokémon if you've got it in your party when you end a battle. The Destiny Knot is so important because it is an item when you give it to a parent Pokémon and place it in the Daycare Centre. When that Pokémon is in there, it will then take five random IVs from both parent Pokémon and then give it to the egg Pokémon. So for an example, you've got two Pokémon in the Daycare Centre, one with the Destiny Knot, both with very strong IV spreads. Now the Destiny Knot will pull five random IVs from both of these parents and pass them to the egg Pokémon. Now the egg Pokémon will have five of the inherited IVs from the randomly selected IVs from both parents, and then the sixth stat is determined randomly from 0 to 31. So for the method of chain IV breeding in this guide, the Destiny Knot is that key item that we are needing. Next tool that we are going to need access to is the IV Judge. You can unlock this again in the post game after you've beat the Elite Four by visiting the fight area, going up to the battle tower, talking to this NPC who will unlock the Judge feature in your boxes. Now when you're in your Pokémon boxes, you can hover over a Pokémon and you can press the plus button on your controller. It will change the screen on the Pokémon and you'll be able to view the stats or the IVs or a description of the IVs for that particular Pokémon. Now if the description says best, that indicates that that Pokémon for that stat has an IV of 31. If the description is fantastic, it's an IV of 30. If the description is very good, it is an IV between 26 and 29. If the description is pretty good, it's an IV between 16 and 25. The description says decent, it's an IV between 1 and 15. If the description says no good, it means that stat has an IV of 0. This is a really useful tool to check eggs once you've hatched them in this breeding process. The next item is an optional one, but it is one that will speed the whole process up for us and that is the Oval Charm. The Oval Charm again is another post-game item that you can obtain after beating New League 4, getting your National Decks. If you head to the Valor Lake front, which is the kind of hotel resort area and head over to the swim pool, there'll be an NPC character in the pool. If you talk to them, it's actually Morimoto in disguise who will then challenge you to a battle. Once you beat him, he will then award you the Oval Charm. The Oval Charm increases the likelihood of eggs spawning from the old man when you've got two Pokemon in the daycare center. Another really useful thing to obtain is a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability. Having a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability in your party will reduce the number of steps required for an egg to hatch by up to half. And probably the easiest way to obtain a Flame Body Pokemon is by traveling to the fight area, going to the ground underground from this area and then heading to the cavern which is half fire, half desert. And in this cavern, you'll easily be able to find Slugmas and Makargos both having access to that Flame Body ability. And finally, the next items are optional, but if you can only find Dittos with very small amounts of flawless IVs, these items may be very helpful for you to do the IV chaining process. These are the power items. There are six power items that all when attached to a parent Pokemon in the daycare will guarantee that the IV that it's related to will always be passed down to the egg Pokemon. So unlike the Destiny Knot, which picks five random IVs from both Pokemon in the daycare center, the power item only guarantees a specific IV that it's related to passed down from the Pokemon that told it to the egg Pokemon. These six power items are the power antlet, which guarantees the speed IV from the holding parent Pokemon to the egg Pokemon. The power band, which guarantees that the special defense IV will be passed down to the offspring Pokemon. Power belt guarantees that the defense IV is passed down. The power bracelet guarantees the attack IV is passed down to the egg. Power lens refers to the special attack being guaranteed to be passed down and the power weight guarantees that the HP IV will always be passed down to the egg Pokemon. All the power items can be tamed from the battle tower for 10 battle points. So that covers pretty much all of the items in pre-rex that we're going to need before we start the breeding process. The next thing that we need to look at is obtaining a Ditto with a high IV spread. Ideally, we want a Ditto with at least three perfect IVs to start this breeding process. But if you can only find a Ditto with one or maybe two perfect IVs, then don't worry, that will be enough to do this method. Now, Ditto is available in two areas within the Sunner region. It is available on Route 218 using the poker radar, which again is obtainable after the post game. Professor Ron will give you the poker radar, which you can then use to chain Pokemon in certain areas around the Sunner region. The other area where Ditto is available is in the ground underground and you can visit Celestic Town, which will take you to the central area of the ground underground and if you visit Starglean Cavern. That location you'll be able to find Ditto's in. But the one drawback about hunting Ditto's in the underground is currently I'm not aware of any methods to increase the chances of catching a Ditto with a high IV spread. I've tried putting different statues into my underground secret base. I've tried the Diglet Run to increase those chances when they spawn in that cavern and none of it seems to yield any Ditto's with those flawless IVs that we're looking for. So the best method in this situation is always going to be the Pokemon radar and chaining these Ditto's. And this is unfortunate because until we get access to Pokemon home, we won't have access to any outside resources aside from what we've got in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So we have to make do with what we've got right now for breeding purposes. Now, the other thing to mention about the Pokemon radar and chaining Pokemon is where you can reach a chain of 20 Pokemon and you will always guarantee that that Pokemon, that 20th Pokemon in the chain will always have a guaranteed flawless IV of one. When you hit a chain of 30 Pokemon, that 30th Pokemon will have a guaranteed two flawless IVs. And when you hit a chain of 40 Pokemon, it will have a guaranteed three flawless IVs. But everything in between these specific numbers will not have a guaranteed perfect or flawless IV. So the main thing that you want to be doing in this process is trying to get to a chain of 40 Ditto's, guaranteeing that Ditto with three flawless IVs. And the other bonus about doing this process is by the end of that chain, you're going to have a few boxes full of Ditto's and you should then have a Ditto with every corresponding nature that's available in the game, which will make using the Everstone and getting that nature for the initial breedable Pokemon, very easy to obtain. So far, we have got the Everstone, we got the Destiny Note, we've got a Flame Body Pokemon, the Oval Charms activated, the IV judges activated and we've got our power items. So we've got everything set as well as boxes full of Ditto's and a three IV Ditto from using the poker radar. Now, the next thing to do is decide what Pokemon we want to breed. Now, when deciding which competitive Pokemon you want to breed, before you start the breeding process, it is worth checking if this Pokemon has any egg moves that you want it to have and whether or not you want it to have its hidden ability or not because these are things to do before you start the IV chaining process. You can check all these details out by checking the Pokemon specific page on somewhere like Cerebi or Bulbapedia and just make sure that you check out those details and do this step before you jump into trying to get these flawless IVs. So for this guide, we're going to use a Gible as our example and we're going to be breeding it with our Ditto that we have obtained from using the Pokemon radar and getting to a chain of 40. Now, Gible can be obtained in the Wayward Cave and that is a cave system which is north of Aubras City. So as you can see, this is the Gible that we captured from the Wayward Cave and if we check it against our Judge function, we can see it's got an IV spread of decent, decent, decent, very good, decent, very good. No flawless IVs there, pretty bad IV spread in general. Hasty nature, no good and Sandvill which is fine. So the idea here is to turn this Gible into a Gible with 31 IVs across the board except that special attack. So five flawless IVs with an Adamant nature. Now, to do this, what we can do is use four Ditto's that we've got access to and the fifth one that we will need for the Adamant nature. So here you go. Here's an Adamant Ditto. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have any flawless IVs. If it did, obviously that would be a bonus for us to start this process. So the first step for us is to visit Salation Town. This is where the Pokemon Nursery or the Pokemon Daycare is located and where we're going to be breeding our eggs. Now, when we're at Salation Town, you want to head over to this house right here. This is the Pokemon Nursery and we want to go inside and approach the desk here. But before we do, we want to prepare our Pokemon. So we want to just come into our boxes, make sure that you have your flamboyant Pokemon at the top of your party in your party here and then the two Pokemon that we're going to want to breed with. Now, what we're going to do to start off with is get a Gible with an Adamant nature to do this. What we talked about earlier is use that Everstone with a Ditto with that Adamant nature and put these two Pokemon into the daycare. You want to just speak to the lady and you want to just select the two Pokemon that you want to breed. So it'll cost you a thousand polka dollars and the lady will take the Pokemon and you want to just come out of this room. Now, this old man right here that we're circling around is the man that will give you the eggs when they are ready. So for an egg to spawn, you just need to just move around, do a lot of steps and when an egg has spawned, this old man will turn to face the road. So you'll turn to face this area here and that's when you know an egg is ready to collect. And as you can see, the old man here is facing out. So what we want to do is just speak to him and he will give us an egg. He'll say that there's an egg ready and do we want it? So we'll just take the egg and the next stage is to hatch this egg. Now, there is a pocket tech app which you can use, which is quite useful to count your steps. So if you have that open in the corner, you'll be able to gauge how many steps it takes to hatch this first egg and a quick tip for hatching eggs. It is way quicker if you go round and round in circles rather than traveling up and down the route. As you can see from this still here, you're clocking up way more steps doing the circle method than the route method. And as you can see, the gible egg is eventually hatching. It takes over 5000 steps for a gible egg to hatch. So regretting picking this as an example in this guide already, but nevertheless, the gible has hatched with the flame body Pokemon. It has half those steps that would be required. It would normally require 10,000 steps of really saving you a lot of time in this process. As you can see, the gible that we've hatched out has got that adamant nature. So that is step one. So now we've got our adamant nature. We want to just withdraw the Pokemon that we've currently got in the nursery. So we want to take the ditto and the gible out of their boxes. And next we can start the IV chaining. So here is our hasty gible that we've just taken out of the box here is our adamant gible. This is our ditto with the Everstone. So step one is complete. We do have our adamant gible. The next step is to try and transfer all of the flawless IVs from these four dittos that we need onto a gible. So to do that, the first step is to choose a ditto from our party. We're going to pick this ditto here. It has two flawless IVs. It has a HP and an attack flawless IV. You can see that there. This gible has no flawless IVs at the minute, although it does have a fantastic special defense. So we got lucky when we're hatching that adamant one. And what we want to do is we want to give these Pokemon some items. So the first thing we want to do is take the Everstone off the ditto that we've just taken out and put it onto the gible. And then we want to give the destiny nut to this ditto. So we'll give the destiny nut to the ditto and then these two Pokemon are ready to go into the daycare center. And the idea is to try and get a offspring gible with the adamant nature and a flawless HP and attack IV. So with the Pokemon in the daycare center, we just need to wait on the old man providing us with the eggs to hatch. We collect five eggs and then we start the kind of step process to hatching them and checking if the eggs that we have got any of those flawless IVs passed down from the ditto. Essentially at this stage, what we will be doing is cycling out the gibles. So any gibles that we get that are an improvement with the one currently in the daycare center will be cycling out until we have that HP and attack with those flawless IVs. So as you can see, one of our first breeds in this first batch of five eggs is an adamant nature gible. It has a flawless IV in its attack stats. So what we want to do, we weren't successful getting any other gibles in that first batch of five eggs with the HP and the attack IV being flawless. So we just go to the daycare and what we're doing is just cycling out the gible that we've got in there for the one that we've just hatched. So what we want to do is just switch items and then we can move this gible, which will then give us an increased chance to pull down both the HP and attack IV from the parenting Pokemon. And once we've replaced this gible, we want to just repeat the process, collect the eggs, hatch them and see if we have eventually got an egg that's inherited the flawless HP and attack IV. So essentially at this step, what we're going to continue to do is cycle gibles in and out of the daycare center. Any gibles that we hatch that have a stronger IV spread than the one currently in the daycare center are going to replace it. So we have those increased chances to eventually get a flawless IV spread. And at the same time, we will also be cycling the Ditto's out with these gibles when we have achieved the flawless IV that's passed down from a particular Ditto onto the gible offspring. We then want to replace that Ditto with an alternative flawless IV that we will try then to pass down to the new offspring. And every time we do this, we are getting one step closer to getting that flawless IV spread. So we continue to do this cycling in and out of the gibles and Ditto's and we take it step by step and it is a slow process, but you will eventually get to a point where you passed a flawless IV down for every single target stat that you are looking for. As you can see on your screen here, we have two gibles and they have a cross over flawless IV spread. So essentially what we can do is put these two gibles into the daycare center, make sure that one of them has the Everstone to pass down the nature and the other is holding the destiny knot. And then what we want to do is hatch eggs from these parent Pokemon and hope that we get that randomized destiny knot crossover with the flawless IV spread. And what we can still do at this point in time is still keep cycling any better offspring gibles that we get for the ones currently in the daycare center and doing this will increase our chances of getting that flawless IV spread even quicker. Now this step can take a long time or you can get lucky and it can take a very short amount of time. For fortunately for us and for this guide, we managed to hatch a flawless gible on our first cycle to putting these two gibles into the daycare center. So we were very lucky in getting that destiny knot combination of randomized IVs passed down to the egg Pokemon and this new offspring gible as you can see as attached. It has got that flawless IV spread with an adamant nature. It has a 31 HP attack, defense, special defense and speed essentially making it a flawless breed. This is our breeding guide. You can adapt this method on to any breedable Pokemon in brilliant diamond and shining pearl and don't worry if your initial Pokemon doesn't have great IVs or a good IV spread. As long as you've got those dittos that we showed you how to get in the early stages of this guide, you're going to be able to adapt this method on to any breeding project that you wish. It really is important to get a lot of dittos. Make sure you've got a lot of dittos with different IV spreads, different perfect flawless IVs and those natures as well, which is going to make passing them down to your breeding projects a lot easier.
