Welp, I'm kinda late to the party I reckon.

In case there is no Mewtwo left, I still feel like telling my experience anyway.
Q: If you bred Pokemon in DPP before the advent of RNG, what was your favorite traditionally bred Pokemon? Do you remember its IVs? Have much fun with it in battle?
A: My experience takes place back in the day when competitive battling was still in it's early steps, back in the day when people actually had to record their battles off their DS Lite screens with cameras in order to upload them to YouTube.
Back then I didn't understand how IV's worked, I knew how Natures had an impact on Pokémon stats and how to EV train them, but IV's was just too complex, especially since most of the threads were written down in English and my English as a non-native speaker wasn't that good yet 7-8 years ago. I remember that I came across such a video on YouTube where a guy set up Swords Dances and Speed Boosts with Protects and Substitutes with his Ninjask until he eventually passed the boosts onto a Groudon. It wasn't really a battle per se, just some sort of demonstration of how Baton Pass works. I was fairly impressed and wanted to breed such a Ninjask for my own personal use. By freak accident I actually managed to pull out a Nincada with 30 Speed IV's out of one of the eggs and EV trained it. I still have that Ninjask to this very day. It's rather garbage by modern-day standards, but still, it has some sort of value to me. I also only found out about the Speed IV being 30 since the Speed stat at Level 100 with 252 EV's was only 1 point away from Max. Speed.
Edit: I just received the Mewtwo from the GTS. Thank you very much for the awesome Giveaway!
Best greetings.
