Yeah, I'm not into competitive either, and most of the time cycle Pokémon through the PC like a revolving door...but lately, I've wondered if it really is that easy to create a perfect specimen. And I like having the perfect Ditto so I can breed at least one 31 IV on anything I breed. Imagine my surprise when two Meowth came out (my plan was basically to WT all of them) and they have 5 perfect IVs apiece! Both females are missing just Defense, covered by a 4IV male who is missing Special Defense and Speed. I have now decided to see if I can use them to create a perfect Meowth...and I'm currently leveling both up so I can assign them the same moveset. When I reach the desired moveset, breeding will begin so I can get a perfect baby with a set of moves.
I do know that, if I want an Egg Move, I can just do the same thing with another species and get a male with that move, and breed it with the eventual perfect Meowth as well; the result of course would eventually be a perfect or near-perfect Meowth with the special move. And those Egg Moves on perfect Pokémon trade well (not sure about Meowth). So I don't mind the idea of trying to create some trading material or something with which to supply someone's store, provided my OT is tagged on it and any clones, of course.
So I'm just trying it for the first time. It seems a lot easier than it did back then, so I can come up with something creative and try to jump in on requests now. That perfect Ditto really is the key.
