For a catched pokemon, IV average of 18-20 is pretty high. And while Adamant is the best and attack the most important stat, Scyther/Scizor can still be a powerhouse without that +10% increase. Especially once it gets Sword Dance.

Nice! Jolly is better than a lot of other options, since it gives minus to Sp.Attack, which is what you want. And additional speed is never bad.

I just went with Jolly instead of Adamant, bonus to speed, drop to Special attack. And it does have Tactitian, and some pretty bitchin' IV's according to some IV calculator I found.

Oh, and also make sure that it has the ability "Technican" if possible. It's so much better than Swarm and once it's evolved into Scizor, Sword Dance + Bullet Punch is pretty much all you need to beat 80% of everything you'll ever encounter. A fighting move will take care of the rest.

Aha, guess it's harder to make a trade then.

Though while it's always nice with pokemon that have good stats, IV and EV training is far less relevant against AI than against other players with good teams.

Adamant is the best nature for Scyther/Scizor by far though, so you'd still want that at least.

Ah, right! I remember that now that you mentioned it. Been a while.

I got an Adamant scizor with quite good IVs in Pearl. I could probably use it to breed a pretty nice scyther and then trade it over, if you don't mind?

No, only the IV stats matter. The higher the IV stats of the parents, the more likely the child is to have high IV stats as well. But stats obtain through level ups and EV and such has no effect on it whatsoever.

Also, a child pokemon that you get from an egg generally has higher IV stats than any pokemon that you randomly catch in the wild (but not always). There are calculators to figure out the IV stats of your pokemon based on their actual stats on level 5-ish combined with their nature (don't know if they hatch at level 1 or 5 in X/Y though). But yeah... if you can't be bothered with that, just settle for what would seem like good stats for those low levels and a desirable nature.

The child also has a 50% chance of getting the same nature as... I think it was the mom, but it might have been the dad. Pretty sure it was the mom though.

Will there be any way to save the savefiles and stuff though? I guess it would seriously suck to lose all saved data. =O

Hope it just needs to be cleaned and the vacuum cleaner can fix it tomorrow or something, however unlikely that might be.

What? Seriously? Damn, that sucks!

Haven't heard a lot about that happening to PS3's. Might it be possible to fix?

The woman at 1:30 had a quite appropriate reaction.
