Gotta Breed Them All: Seedot / Nuzleaf / Shiftry – Best Egg Moves, Ability, Nature and IV spread

Been a while, but here we go, time for Seedot / Nuzleaf /Shiftry. Shiftry has a couple decent builds and as such for the best breeding aiming for 6IV is the best (alternatively, you could aim for 5IV -Sp. Atk for a more standard build if 6IV is too much effort). We pick up ‘Defog’ (this one requires a Pokemon from a previous gen to pass it on) and ‘Nasty Plot’ for our competitive egg moves. For the remaining two egg moves I’ve chosen ‘Foul Play’ for a bit of fun using an opponent’s attack stat against them and ‘Take Down’ if you want to enter it in a Tough Contest.

  • Pokémon: Seedot
  • Nature: Adamant / Jolly
  • Ability: Pickpocket (HA)
  • IV’s: 6IV
  • Egg Moves:
    1. Defog
    2. Nasty Plot
    3. Foul Play
    4. Take Down

Gotta Breed Them All: Lotad / Lombre / Ludicolo – Best Egg Moves, Ability, Nature and IV spread

Lotad’s turn! Lotad’s final evolution Ludicolo has all the heals. For competitive, you’ll probs want that Rain dish ability. Not to worry, HA pokes breed non-HA pokes. Giga Drain, Leech Seed and Synthesis are all decent competitive moves, the forth can be what ever. I chose Teeter Dance as the forth, because confusing the opponent means more chances of them to miss, which means more free heals for you! Also, Teeter Dance is harder to breed onto Lotad, so harder = more valuable (right?).

  • Pokémon: Lotad
  • Nature: Modest / Timid
  • Ability: Own Tempo (HA)
  • IV’s: 5IV (-Atk)
  • Egg Moves:
    1. Giga Drain
    2. Leech Seed
    3. Synthesis
    4. Teeter Dance

Enjoy,

Gotta Breed Them All: Wurmple / Silcoon / Beautifly / Cascoon / Dustox – Best Egg Moves, Ability, Nature and IV spread

Now it’s time for Wurmple, which has two different final evolutions. Unfortunately, both are pretty much useless as far as competitive pokemon go. Eh well, whatev’s. Here’s the most ideal set-up for Wurmple breeding.

  • Pokémon: Wurmple
  • Nature: Jolly (Beautifly) / Calm (Dustox)
  • Ability: Run Away (HA)
  • IV’s: 5IV (-Atk) (You get away with 4IV, -Atk and -Sp.Atk, as it’s really only good for status moves)
  • Egg Moves: Doesn’t have any egg moves

Happy breeding,
