Trickroom Xerneas anyone? I would keep and probably be a little creative with it. Max HP/Max Sp. Atk.

Gen 6 The "Are my Pokémon IVs and Nature good?" Thread

I wish there was a way to change natures myself.
Anyway... I say keep. Geomancy will negate the speed loss I think. Plus, like you said. Perfect IV's. Plus with that SpA boost, you should be killing everything it touches
And if you REALLY must change natures... I'm sure some action replay code in the future will let you do that.
It doesn't. Being forced to invest more Evs in speed makes those attacks that xern can just barely take, straight out ohko instead.
Don't keep it. The difference between a - and + Speed nature is huge. And you'd want a 0 Spe IV for Trick Room.
Xerneas - #716 (Bold)
HP: 31
Att: 22 - 23
Def: 23 - 24
SpA: 31
SpD: 27 - 28
Speed: 30 - 31
This is my keeper. I don't really care for the ATT too much so the nature works out just fine for me.

Would never keep. That defense is hilarious and will really hurt its performance even though the other stats are perfect.
Bold does have some merits against boosted MMX, Ekiller etc and it probably works pretty fine even though the damage loss is noticable. Good luck!
Speed is definitely 31, since you only have 2 other 31s.
That is actually pretty good. It's a shame Def wasn't one of the 31s though.

Theorymon, not sure if you (or anyone else) could help me out, but on that note I've been trying to figure out exactly how much difference 31 stat points actually makes at level 100. Perhaps we can use my Mewtwo as an example. What is going to kill it with 7 IVs in SpD that otherwise wouldn't with 31 IVs in defense. I'm very poor at stats, and new to competitive battling, but as I'm playing the game, breeding, resetting, etc, I can't help but wonder how much difference a few stat points makes.
Would love some clarity, thank you in advanced to anyone who chimes in.

yeah should be fine.
What do you mean? Every stat besides Special Attack is 31...
Yes, that is very good, since it will increase Garchomp's Speed and lower his Special Attack.
So this is essentially the 'discuss my pokemon' thread? Would it be better placed in Wi-Fi, like where the previous one was?
@below: I'm not saying anything about the usefulness of the thread itself, I think it is a great idea, I just think, since it is in-game, it might fill the gap that 'discuss my pokemon' left in the Wi-Fi forums.

Yeah, I believe he asked in the wrong thread and I didn't realize this was in Ubers and not somewhere else. My bad.
So I snagged me A Xerneas with HP 31 SPA 31 DEF 31 and SPD 31, however it has a Timid nature. Problem here?
Timid is good, but I would toss that anyways, as the speed probably sucks.
Eh im keeping it
Hey guys just caught myself a Modest Xerneas with stats 200/131/115/166/118/119, "alert to sounds" after using a reset bag on it. After S.T. and investing 252 SPA, 108 SPD, and 150 DEF it comes to 200/131/133/201/118/133. So best I can figure its IVS are 29/x/30-31/30-31/30-31/31 and after 2 days of SRing it feels pretty damn good :)

Tough call man. I caught a couple modest Xerneas during my hunt and almost kept one with the same problem (I think it had 193 HP however many IV's that is). Mmmm your call man, I'd personally try a little longer for that HP if you have a synchronizer with the nature your looking for, but if your going at it full tryhard and don't have one I might keep it. It took 2 days of looking to find mine.
I think I would keep that. With the high base stat in HP, IVs are less important, you will not lose that much overall bulk here.
