Thanks. Also is it just me or does the 3DS take slightly longer to physically 'soft-reset' compared to other consoles?

3IV will always be at 31
Yep, is nearly flawless since with jolly you are not using its sAtk stat.
If I'm going to be SR'ing for a Rayquaza, what nature should I go for? The consensus seems to be Adamant or Jolly, but what about something like Naughty for a mixed attacker? I just really don't want to waste my one shot at a perfect Rayquaza.
Hmm I'm not sure If I should post it here as its not really Ubers material without the soul dew but I haven't been able to find another thread like this on the internet
Is this a decent Latios? 31 27-29 31 24-26 31 31 Timid nature... The attack and special attack worry me but... (Don't worry when ever I get to Groudon I'll edit that in here)

So my Groudon is Jolly natured with:
31/31/31/x/31/30
Imo, sounds awesome for a double dance set, and having that one speed point lower might be a good thing against Timid Max Speed Primal Kyogres since I get the weather initiative.

Best one I've gotten so far, most likely going to keep it. Special Attack is even high enough to viably use Overheat... what do you think? Defense isn't so low that it bugs me

Excellent question, I don't really have an answer for this and since M_ray is now in the "anything goes tier" the question is are you going to M_evolve him?With my Mega_rayquaza I went with adamant but I'm really not sure if its the best pick.You should wait a little and watch the usage stats of the "anything goes tier".
In ORAS you can find a soul dew.The Satk is indeed a bit low but I don't get why the atk IV would worry you since it only matters for foul play and confusion.[/quote]

Ah I had decided to go for another run after that which turned out great as I managed to get a 31 24-26 24-26 31 31 31 timid Latios this should be good enough to use in OU or Ubers (especially do to most Ubers being special rather than physical):) and yeah that attack had worried me due to foul play
Glad soul dew is available though getting the Eon ticket could be a bit of a challenge...
The OP said we should brag, so here I am.

Naughty (I wanted Rash or Naive, but it'll do)
31/20-21/30/31/31/31 (HP Ice)
Going to run a rock polish set on it to make up for the lost speed in not being naive, and after doing some calcs I saw a rash one with max S.Atk gets an OHKO on Excadrill with earth power (as a mega obviously), so I'll be using this in OU. Only took me ~10 resets :)

I'm jus Here for da memes r wateva dem shits called
nah, keep going. you want 31 ivs for spa
Now I got this spread of timid Latias:
27or29/0/31/31/31/27or29
Does it worth if is 27/0/31/31/31/27?

I'd keep going. 31 speed is a necessity, and then you want as close to 31, or 31, on everything but atk
I kept this even with the attack stat... the other stats are worth the high amount she'll take from foul play, right?

Cipher Admin Lovrina Yeah, that's definitely good and worth keeping. I wouldn't switch or keep Lati@s in on anything that knows Foul Play. I doubt 1 SpA even changes any KOs, so it's effectively flawless.
VenBombadil that's a tougher call. The thing is, you're magnifying that weakness after several boosts. At +3/+3 you're missing out on over 30 SpD. I'd pass personally, but it's not terrible.

I was greedy and SR'ed again for the Adamant Rayquaza. Kept this one: 29/31/31/20/23-24/31.
Overall the physical bulk should be higher than the ones I tossed before, although the SpD is barely satisfactory. This makes me wonder what the difference is in terms of the percentage of damage one will take for each point in Def/SpD. Like, if my understanding is correct, for most legendaries, each 3-4IV in HP would count as 1% difference in health. I have a harder time quantifying Def/SpD though.
I hope I made the right decision by tossing the one with 27 in HP and 25 in SpD.

After a few days of SR'ing I got a near perfect Latios:
31/4/30/30/31/31 Timid
If the spd. and def. were switched it'd be HP fire...but whatever. Wasn't about to go through all that again. Been using in-game and once it's level 50 i may have cloned as a battle-ready mon. IDK, there are probably a bunch of 5x31iv latios already though.
Are they any flawless HP fire KB Latis yet?

Uh so my sync didn't go off, but I got a pretty good IV spread on a mild Kyogre, so I'm a little torn. Have this:
HP: 25 - 26
Att: 31
Def: 31
SpA: 31
SpD: 20 - 22
Speed: 31
Keep or toss? :/

It's not very good but (in my opinion) definitely passable.
Here are some calcs:
4 SpA Deoxys-A Psycho Boost vs. 216 HP / 0 SpD Kyogre: 169-199 (42.7 - 50.3%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO
4 SpA Deoxys-A Psycho Boost vs. 216 HP / 0 SpD Kyogre: 172-204 (44.2 - 52.4%) -- 17.6% chance to 2HKO
You could use a little more SpD (and less Atk) but in all honesty I'd keep him :)

Toss.. you can definitely do better
Toss, it's really horrible :( -if you aren't already I'd suggest you using a synchronizer-.
Thank you both Farpafraf and Alert to Sounds for your input - I ended up keeping it, mainly because of a meeeh that's good enough factor. For future reference (as it may seem counterintuitive) 31 HP / 18 S Def Primal Kyogre has approximately the same (if not better) special bulk than a 25 HP / 25 S Def one.
Calcs for the 31 HP /18 S Def one:
252 SpA Choice Specs Palkia Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 244-288 (71.3 - 84.2%)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dialga Thunder vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 302-356 (88.3 - 104%)
+1(Soul Dew) 252 SpA Latios Thunder vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 248-292 (72.5 - 85.3%)
Calcs for the 25 HP /25 S Def one:
252 SpA Choice Specs Palkia Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 238-282 (70.8 - 83.9%)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dialga Thunder vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 296-350 (88 - 104.1%)
+1(Soul Dew) 252 SpA Latios Thunder vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 244-288 (72.6 - 85.7%)
So if you would consider a 24-25/24-25 one when you are SRing, definitely go for a 31/18-19 one, as it keeps the same special bulk while having a better physical bulk because of the HP IVs being perfect.
