This is almost like a polar opposite to Peanut Lover's thread. (I can only hope this will get off the ground.)

While examining your Pokemon's IVs, have you ever found them to be so bad, or have IVs in the wrong stat, that it was funny? If ever you've had any like this, feel free to post here.

You don't have to go in-depth with the IVs, just post the one or two funny ones that mattered. You can include natures, or anything you want.
Are we clear? Okay.

(All calculations of my Pokemon's IVs were made with the Psypoke IV calculator.)

There are four Pokemon with funny IVs I remember:

A Modest Manaphy with a HP IV of 27, and under 10 for everything else. (Legendaries always seem to be the laughable ones.)
A Mild Uxie with a Defense IV of "0-1", and IVs just as bad for the others. (Like it could get any worse.)
A Timid Gengar with a Special Defense IV of 31, and a Special Attack IV of 4. (Wrong way round, stupid game.)
A Jolly Infernape with a Defense IV of 31, and an Attack IV of "2-8". (Wrong way round. Again.)

I bet the rest of you out there have ones funnier than mine.

Ive had:
Modest Infernape with 21/30/30/1/27/6.

Naive Trapinch with 31/31/23/29/6/0.

Jolly Palkia with 3/6/29/15/31/4

I *purposely* bred a Natu once with 0/0/1/0/4/0 because I was really bored, but that doesnt really count :p

But the cream of the crop was the Happiny I got from the guy in Hearthrome. The IVs were 31/7/31/28/26/9. Then I checked the nature. I was praying for Bold. I got Naughty. >.> Thus, why I despise Blissey

It took me almost an hour to find a Timid female Pikachu in the Safari Zone. This is what I ended up with...

[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] HP 0 - 1
[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] Attack x0.9 0 - 1
[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] Defense 0 - 1
[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] Special Attack 0 - 3
[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] Special Defense 0 - 3
[11:24:29] [@Jolteon] Speed x1.1 12 - 15

Is it just me or do bred Pokemon have a high chance of having low stats besides the ones inherited from Parents? Cos I've bred like dozens of Pokemon in a row and they always turn up with IVs that are lower than 10 for most stats.

That is not what I find most irritating however, have you ever tried to look for a Legendary with a specific nature by offing and oning dozens or hundreds of times to recapture it? While I certainly have and I can tell you this: It wastes my time....When I finally found the correct nature, it turns up with useless IVs. The strange thing is, a lot of the tries I made the Legendaries with the wrong nature happen to have decent IVs...it is so frustrating.... :frustrated: You can like find Timid Palkias with 31 IVs in Atk and 0 in Sp. Atk...why do the IVs always appear at the wrong places? It's hard enough searching for a correct nature Legendary and on top of that you have to look for 1 with the correct IVs...no wonder some people don't want to care about the IVs...

You can use a pokemon with the synchronize ability for getting the correct nature. It's really easy. You just breed an Abra or Natu or whatever with the nature you want, you place it first in your party and so the legendary gains an extra 50% of being that nature. However, this does not work with pokemon that are moving such as Mesprit and Cresselia (i think, i'm not sure).

Synchronize doesn't work on legendaries in the Older Generations (or at least it didn't work when I was cathing Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza)...so it was hell catching right natured and right IVs legendaries then. Things are different now however, so it's much easier to catch a legendary with the correct nature but catcthing one with good IVs all depends on luck... :)

An adamant {weavile} with 7-8 in attack and 26-27 in defence, it was as if it was mocking me.

Not sure this counts but...

I was once trying to breed an umbreon so I wanted high defense, max hp and special defense, at least.

So I decide to breed with my max spped/special defense ditto.

The eevee had no max ivs in my memory, but it's too difficult for me to believe that when this happened..

20-30 eggs later I have Max attack eevees, max speed eevees, and max special attack eevees, but not One eevee with special defense, defense, or max hp Somehow.
