Breeding Jolteon? Need breeding advice!

1 minute read

I’m trying to breed for a good IV set for Jolteon. I want to get 30 or 31 in both Speed and SpAtk, but all I keep getting are low level totals and low level IVs in each of the one I want. And I can’t get them to combine either. And now all of a sudden I’m getting “outstanding” or “relatively superior” and the IVs are in either attack or defense, but I have the power anklet and lens equipped. Any thoughts on how I can be a better breeder? I’ve already made at least 30 eevee and nothing good, nor any sign if a Timid nature.

The way to inherit nature is to give one of the parents an Everstone, it’ll inherit the nature. So I suggest get a Timid parent and give it an Everstone, though you’ll forfeit one of the power items.

But aside from this, like the previous answer said, you just need to soft reset continually. Save just before you get the egg, hatch it, and if the IVs aren’t to your liking, soft reset & keep trying.

Also, this is assuming you’re in Gen V. Breeding prior to Gen III did not have this feature, and in Gen III & Gen IV (D/P/Pt but not HG/SS), the Everstone nature inheritance only applied to the female parent.

Honestly the best thing you can do is wait. I’ve spent hours breeding for Natures, I know how much it sucks. Unfortunately, there isn’t too much more you can do to control it besides keep breeding and be patient.
