Yeah but what about playing rated battles so you can avoid ubers?
My team wasn't done till like today, so I've been doing 3v3 unrankeds and and well, ranked 3v3 seems pointless i don't take things seriously unless it's 6v6

The EVs are fine but I think you should keep a STAB move to her second type, Psychic.

Meh, I want a Cherrim for Competitive Double Battle purposes, I couldn't find one in B/W, and now I can't find one in X/Y either...

Hmm, how would replacing Focus Blast on it for Psychic be?

Focus Blast has better coverage than Psychic

Well it's easier to read that and see what they've said about it vs discuss it here.. since those people no life pokemon 24/7..
What you posted is exactly the same as what they have too and the 4th attack varies depending on your team and what coverage it needs

So, yeah... I've been trying to breed a 31/0/31/31/31/31 Chinchou from scratch these past 5 days. Things were going well (got two of them with HP, Defense and Speed and a couple of them with SpA) until I started trying for SpD. I'm facing a conundrum. Should I be trying to fish for a Chinchou with perfect SpD or should I just continue to let breeding take its course until a Chinchou pops up with perfect SpD?
And if I do decide to do it by breeding, should I be doing it with or without Destiny Knot? I was thinking it would be better without until I do get SpD since Destiny Knot would end up locking in the stats I want to change more often than I'd like.
Edit: Disregard. Not even 10 minutes after I posted this I managed to land a 4IV Chinchou with HP/Def/SpD/Speed. It's knot and nature time.

Does it matter which parent holds the Destiny Knot, or is it just 5 IVs in general from both parents?

In x and y, it doesn't seem to matter who holds the knot.
