Pokemon Breeding Calculator

Has anyone made a program to help out with breeding in Pokemon games without using Pokesav or Pokegen for gen 5+?

What specifically are you looking for? RNG manipulation?

I'm looking for a program that can read thru my Pokemon and help me breed perfect ivs

[codemonkey85]

That's still not very clear explanation. Are you looking for a program that will do the same breeding calculations the game itself would do? Or simply a program that will tell you what to breed? Because frankly, the latter seems rather useless if you're accessing the save file anyway.

Looking for a program to tell me what to breed. I don't have access to my save file anymore.

Way too vague.

This seems like a solution in desperate need of a problem. It's easy enough to figure this stuff out without having to create a complicated program. Honestly it would be more work to type in the information that would be necessary then it would be to just look at your game and figure it out.

There are programs that might help you to ease the breeding process without using your game-save, but it depends on your approach, for example:

• There are programs that help you understand the breeding-chains required to get certain moves
  
• There are programs/methods that give you an idea of what IVs your Pokémon has and will pass to their children
  
• And there are means to manipulate the game so you can get shiny Pokémon, better chances of nice IVs and so on
  

What do you need?

If you are not using external devices, and do not have access to your "in-game information", I recommend you to read "the basics of breeding" and "breeding on gen 6".

Now, in my personal experience, the easiest way to breed Pokémon with good IVs is to have parents with amazing IVs, and employ breeding items to pass the IVs to their children (you can learn about them in the links I provided above). In gen V, the easiest way to get such parents could be a private GTS.

And finally, if you are on gen 6 you may want to *try* this method.
