Black 2 help: Do Pokemon pass down their Characteristics to their offsprings?

I have two Scyther in a Day Care. The male Scyther has a Docile nature and the female one has an Adamant nature. I let the female hold an Everstone so the offsprings will have the Adamant nature. The babies always have “Often dozes off” or any characteristic that indicates the HP it’s best IV. Sometimes, it will have other characteristics. Do the parents pass down the characteristic they have to their offsprings?

Well unless one of the parents is holding an everstone, the offspring will not be the same nature. But as for the IVs[characteristics], 3 of the 6 IVs will be randomly taken from the parents, and the other 3 are completely random. Here’s a hypothetical situation, lets say you are breeding two Galvantula and the IVs are as noted [female(Modest); 31/31/31/31/31/31: male(timid); 31/31/31/31/31/31] I said hypothetical. So if the male holds the everstone, you have a high cahnce of the offspring being a Timid nature. So now you put them in, and you are guarenteed at least 3 IVs to be at 31. So now lets say you want 31 SpA IVs, you would give the Female the Power Lens[for SpA] and put them in. YOu would probably get a Joltik similar to this (X=whatever IV because you cannot calculate them all) [ Joltik (Timid); X/X/X/31/X/X] But remember, at least two of those X’s would also be 31 IVs becaue both parents had 6x31 IVs. If this is too complicated to understand, jsut let me know ;)
