What is the proceedure to breed a perfect IV Pokemon in DPP?
I plan on breeding a perfect IV shiny Ralts in Gen 4 (Diamond, Pear, and Platinum) using a perfect IV Ditto in the game via save editor (primarily b/c the GTS is no longer a thing RIP)
My question is it still possible to do this and to confirm what I am understand via this link:https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/breeding_guide_part1
Direct quote:
“This means that, while it may appear that the baby will inherit between 1 and 6 IVs from the parents, in actuality both parents will always pass a total of 3 IVs.”
…is this correct for DPP?
For those who are curious as to why I don’t do this in Gen 6; the answer to that question is my personal goal of getting every possible ribbon on one of my Pokemon all the way to Gen 7.
Furthermore, if this works, I plan to do this for all Pokemon without a hidden ability preferred for PVP. Examples included: Magnemite, Gastly, and Rhyhorn. To name a few…

I would not advise breeding for a 6 IV Pokémon in any game before Gen 6, since that’s the earliest that the Destiny Knot allows you to pass down 5 IVs. All bred Pokémon in games before then will always have only 3 IVs passed down, while the other 3 are completely random. This means that even if you’re breeding two 6 IV Pokémon, the offspring will have a 1 in 323or 1 in 32,768 chance of having 6 perfect IVs. Throwing shininess on top of that, even with Masuda Method, puts your chances well into the millions.
And in any case, I don’t think there is any ribbon that you can get by having a 6 IV Pokémon. Maybe you’re thinking of theEffort Ribbon, which you get by maxing out a Pokémon’s EVs, which are separate from IVs and gained in battle like EXP. Of this is the case, then instead of breeding for 6 IVs, just breed for shininess using theMasuda Method, which increases the chance of breeding a shiny when the parents come from different languages. Then you can eventually transfer it to Gen 7 and hyper train it.
If you’re a masochist and for some reason still want to try to get a 6 IV anyway, since you said you have a save editor, you’ll want both the parents to have 6 IVs and be of different languages.
