I resetted my black once and I got a female Tsuaja (spelling?) I know it's only 1:7 so it's not That rare..but I usually have good luck with getting fem starters on the first try (Bulbaur LF, Chimchar Pearl, Chickorita HG)
@ Gary Walsh
I'm kind of a noob at even Caring about natures/evs/ivs etc. if a pokemon has 0 evs invested and does a wifi battle @ level 100, you could use Those stats to figure out the exact ivs of the pokemon right? (or use other unnatural methods such as AR) also..is there a short, condensed way to explain preferential breeding of ivs for at least 1-2 stats. also how do I selectively pass natures onto baby pokemon? I know it can be done but I'm not sure on the specifics..please PM me with an answer or just respond on here..whichever works for you
Yep, you're exactly right with the Wi-Fi "IV Battle" concept; of course if you knew how many EV's were invested in a particular stat you could factor those into the equation as well. However, I should add that an easier offline alternative to this would be to use an advanced IV calculator such as
MetalKid's. The calculator allows for the input of stats/EP at multiple levels (you can add up to 20 rows), and by tracking the progression of the stats it can come to a more precise reading on the corresponding IV's at lower levels (usually exact IV's around Lv. 35-40 at least).
With the whole breeding thing, I don't know which game you're playing, but in HGSS you can ensure the inheritance of a particular IV through the use of a Power Item, whereas in all games since Emerald, natures can be passed down at a 50% inheritance rate by equipping an Everstone to the female or a Ditto left in the Daycare Center (or a male Pokémon as well in HGSS). It'd be a bit of a longer explanation about
how this information is passed down, but luckily there's a ton of resources you can take a look at -- here's some I've found incredibly helpful in the past:
-
Basic Guide
-
Advanced Guide
This should get you started in the right direction

...I also felt like I had to commemorate 10/10/10 by getting a Pokémon for some reason, so I finally decided to do the Riolu mission in Pokémon Ranger SoA, and came up with this guy:
Lv. 30 -
male
Serious nature
31/31/31/30/31/31 (Thank you PikaTimer, haha!)
Looking forward to training him tomorrow hopefully...
