And the nature as Jolly and the IVs as 31/31/31/x/31/31 am I right? I want to know as I am about to start breeding this and I don't plan on stopping until I succeed.
Probably, as heal is cool but not as cool as dreamBest ball for this would bewouldn't it?

Yes on ball imo, or Heal, Heal is easy to obtain.
IVs are fine, nature could go a lot of ways on Megachompy (it has mixed potential after all) but Jolly is fine. Adamant + Tailwind could work as well, or some crazy 31/31/31/31/31/0 Brave TR Sand megashark of death or something idk.

Got the dumbest question of all time, that new event (Arash Ommati's Shiny Mamoswine) does it come with random IVs or does it come with max IVs since it's copying Arash Ommati's Mamoswine afterall (since the original Mamoswine has a perfect IV spread) >__>
There's been quite a lot of discussion on ball matching here lately, and lots of repeat questions, so I thought I'd give a quick PSA on the topic:
Finding the right matching Pokéballs is not too difficult a thing to accomplish on your own. There's a few things I consider when picking the ball of a Pokémon I'm about to breed:
1. The color scheme of the Pokémon
2. The theme of the Pokémon
3. The rarity of the ball
4. How common a specific ball/combo is around Smogon
For example, let's consider Gastly. Gastly and it's evos are purple in color, so the first thing to do is obviously find if there is a purple Pokéball that is passed down for breeding. (Here is my favorite source: http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/list/pokeball.shtml). As you can see, only the Masterball matches Gastly in terms of color scheme, which regrettably does not pass through breeding.
Next, let's consider the theme of the Pokémon. Ghosts are creatures of darkness, so the most logical choices are the Dusk and Moon Balls, giving us multiple options. At this point, many people turn to the Simple Questions/Requests thread to ask for opinions. A good idea, but let's be honest, I can't be the only one here getting tired of seeing people ask what ball fits Kangaskhan for the umpteenth time, right? So let's continue on.
Rarity. The Moon Ball is only available in 4th gen, while Dusk Balls are available in 4th, 5th, and 6th, making the Moon Ball technically more rare, since less people have access to it. At this point, it would be perfectly logical to conclude that the Moon Ball is Gastly's best fit.
HOWEVER, if you look around many of the shops on Smogon, you'd see that Moon Ball Gastly are EVERYWHERE. Really. You can't not find one. So, chances are if you breed one, you won't get many offers for it. Though it's a close call, I'd have to say that the best ball for Gastly in the current state of affairs on Smogon is the Dusk Ball. This gives you the perfect combination of all 4 factors, and gives you something somewhat unique to offer in your thread.
This thought process can be applied to any Pokémon, and has served me well as I expanded my shop's selection of matching balls. I hope that some people find it useful, and that it helps cut down on some of the repetitive ball-matching requests in this thread.

Oh God.....I have an evil combo for Doubles now.... Pair that with my TR Trevant. But thankfully I have a Dream Ball Grachomp to use for breeding. Just have to chain breed the Nature/IVs on to it. But in the mean time I think I will stick with the Jolly one. However if anyone wants to speed this up at any point by helping me find ESVs I'll gladly welcome that help.
Pretty much the scheme I use. I also think about the competitive value of the pokemon. While Moxie is a nice ability, most pinsirs these days are going mega so really Mold Breaker and Hyper Cutter are not bad options BUT you still can get them in a cool Sport ball, unlike if you stick with Moxie.
Still DreamBall owns them all in terms of rarity and "gassy" animation
Pretty much I like premier, luxury and dream on anything so pink balls for everyone.
I wouldn't mind rebreeding for the egg moves :)
I would go for a nature that doesnt affect sp atk...flamethrower or fire blast off an increased special attaxk are the main reasons to megaevolveBest ball for this would bewouldn't it?
And the nature as Jolly and the IVs as 31/31/31/x/31/31 am I right? I want to know as I am about to start breeding this and I don't plan on stopping until I succeed.
I like Naive myself, but jolly still has enough power to take out a few things with fire blast. But if they are going for a trick room than maybe quiet?
I think Naughty, that beast is not going anywhere fast anyway :D
And come on the thing even looks naughty xD
I was going to go with Iron Head....That's why I figured Jolly.
Or brave..seems a shame to lose the speed before mevolving..garchomp is still so damn usable before he evolves...tldr..I agree naive
In that case, do you want it for one of your spitbacks?
Well you weren't 100% clear on where you were going with the set, but jolly chomps can run fire blast and provides better coverage than iron head, most fairys can be earthquaked or stone edge to death,
Not to completely discourage myself, but does anyone know the ratio for catching a 31/even/31/30/31/30 HP Fire Xerneas when 3 stats are always 31, and I need those 31 to be for those stats for HP Fire :/ Then I need two random 30 Ivs, and the last one needs to be an even number xD
lol :P this seems impossible :P
lol :P this seems impossible :P
Didn't know that. Might do Earthquake/Iron Head/Flamethrower (I don't trust my luck with the accuracy, is SUCKS), and either Dragon Claw/Rush or Outrage. Leaning towards claw though, This close to the orginaly moveset I had in mind to precise.
well doubles you want to be verisitile so dragon claw is better, but you might be missing the fire blast power.
need more Friend Safaris. Anyone want to add me?

I was also wondering... would an Assault vest be good for Goodra? The set I am planning on having has all attacking moves.
I dont want to sound rude (and im just as guilty of being drawn into these conversations... ) but battle discussion/sets/spreads and stuff like that are really for other sections of smogon..a question here or there is one thing but the garchomp debate has been had (ad nauseam) and people in the garchomp thread could probably give you more insight
