Should I keep my Male Snivy that has a good nature and characteristic?

Before you’re like"Tavin, what the hell? What the hell is wrong with it being male or female?",hear me out.

It’s not like X & Y where I can still connect to the internet, and trade with other individuals. So my question is this.Should I keep this great Snivy that I have right now,and go on a journey to find someone across my city that potentially has the female Snivy ( or ditto ) I’m looking for, or do I soft resetendlesslyuntil I get the perfect female Snivy?

I know IVs are apart of breeding, but are the natures and characteristics?

Important Note:It has aTimid nature, and itscharacteristic is scatters things often, so I think I’m pretty set in terms of a good battle ready Snivy. As someone mentioned in my previous post ( and as I did too ), my Pokemon’s IVs are bound to be a bit all over the place while playing through the main game.

You should probably soft reset until you get a female Snivy. The reason is because while this one has good stuff on it, if you ever want another, or mess up on this one, you would want another. So soft reset until you get a female, then IV breed when you can, so you can get a good one, and have more to spare.

Hope I helped!

If you have access to 3DS with Pokemon bank, you could transfer this one over, delete the save, and soft reset for a female. Or, trade over to another Gen 5 game for holding.

Like HellfireTaco said, there’s an exploit that allows the regular online features. I personally am not too fluent with it, but you manipulate your DNS in order to connect to the server.

I’d reccomend trying the exploit and trading first, and only soft reset for a female Snivy if you run out of options. Good luck!
