Just how important are IV's compared to natures and EVs?

  • They're both incredibly important.

    Remember how you used Grass Knot on my Gastrodon? If you had 31 IVs in Sp. Attack and Protean, you could have EASILY done 85-100% damage compared to the 45% that you did without them. That's how important IVs are.

  • I was only asking because I'm breeding a ralts in white 2 because that's the only way gardevior can get hyper voice. I don't have a good way to ensure I get good IVs in this game. Also for a mega gardevior with most likely poor IVs, should I go for timid nature or modest?

  • I run Timid, but I've seen people argue for Modest. What I would do is go to the OU chatroom on pokemonshowdown.com and see what the majority says.

  • EVs and Nature are more important, howev IVs can make the difference, now that EVs and Nature are extremely easy to control in X/Y.

  • Thanks for the input, but I'm breeding a hyper voice ralts in black 2, so I basically have to rely on luck for good IV's, that's why I was asking For a special sweeper mega gardevior, would you recommend timid nature (+speed, -atk) or whatever nature is (+sp. atk, -atk) modest I think?

  • I prefer Timid but I'm weird. Most people would go with Modest.

    I was leaning towards timid because that extra speed could make the difference between getting an attack off or not(especially when I don't have high speed IVs), and mega-gardeviors hyper voice is already insanely powerful

  • That's why I'd go with Timid but 10% is a lot.

  • So should I go timid 252 sp atk, 252 speed, and 4 umm somewhere else? I plan on running hyper voice, psychic, and focus blast. Unsure on my fourth move. I don't plan on doing tournaments or anything just want a strong mega gardevior

  • Yeah. Maybe Dazzling Gleam or Moonblast for STAB.

  • Hyper voice is the most powerful STAB move mega gardevoir gets because it's ability multiplies normal type moves base power by 1.3 then turns them into fairy type.

  • Oh right. I forgot it has pixelate or whatev the ability is. It's one of the mega evos I don't normally deal with much. You seem to know what you're doing. Just throw any sp. Atk move that gives more type advantage.
