I don't. Its a bitch

 

For context, I've spent the last two days breeding Zangoose to consistency get above 20 IVs, and I had a good record going with some having 28+ in most of their stats, THEN THIS SHIT HAPPEND (inhumane noises)

I will share the way I was taught to do it, this way I get a perfect IV mon in a couple of hours (assuming it isn't genderless or a baby)

1. Open a Notepad and keep a score of the IVs of the male and female there
2. Breed a bunch of Pokemons aiming to get the Nature FIRST so you can give it a Everstone and don't have to worry about this bull-
3. Whenever you get a male/female with better IVs than the one in the daycare, switch it immediately, paying attention OFC in whoever has the better IVs to be holding the Destiny Knot (and the one that has the correct Nature to be holding the Everstone)

Eventually the male and female will start getting better and better and getting a perfect IV mon gets easier
You can get a Everstone by mining, a Destiny Knot at Kakori Village in Terajuma after showing the Xen Battleship to a woman in a house and, finally, you can get a Egg Charm (I think that's the name) if you show a Chansey to a woman sitting on a bench at the entrance of the Safari Zone, which increases egg spawn rate. I know this is all common knowledge at this point but just though it was a good idea to share it in case you weren't doing it this way since I noticed the Nature was wrong.

But related to your Zangoose, man.. I breed so many Pokemons because I am an absolute minmaxer that I think it's only acceptable to use a Pokemon if it's IVs are, at LEAST, 30+ so situations like these are so common I already lost the ability to care and eventually you will as well, trust me haha

I understand you man. I was breeding Ralts to get a shiny one with good IVs. But since I wanted a Gallade, my Ralts also needed to be male. Let's just say that my first 3 shinies were female... And the 3rd one had perfect IVs (all of them were 31!). Since both the father and the mother had perfect IVs, only one stat wouldn't be perfect. WHEN I FINALLY GOT A  SHINY MALE RALTS, guess what, the only stat that wasn't perfect was SPEED, and that one was one of the most important stats for Gallade (it could have been Sp. Attack, I wouldn't mind at all). I then tried to get another one, because the odds of getting another shiny male ralts with the imperfect IV in Sp. Attack, or in the Defenses was  higher. The next one had the imperfect IV in Speed again... Needless to say that I got tired, and decided to raise this last Ralts (the IV was 26 I think, but it could have been higher).

But I can garantee you that it was worth it! Gallade is a really strong Pokémon now (one of the best in my team), it will be even better when it has its mega evolution, and it's shiny form ir really cool (better than Gardevoir's, I think it suits Gallade more).

I wish you good luck!
