I will add everyone in this thread.
I just added you. Nice mii. 
Do any of you have a rare Vivillon pattern? I'm in the market...
I have the continental pattern. Is that something you need?
No, I have that one. That's a pretty good pattern too though -- you can get a fair few things on GTS with that pattern.
So I've started breeding. I decided to breed Marill first. Azumarill is actually an incredible power house, but that's not why it's my first choice. Two other factor -- first, Marill's egg groups are Water 1 and Fairy, which means a good male Marill will help me breed Froakie and Togepi (aside: I don't yet have a Togepi, so if someone could hook me up...). Second, there is a new mechanic in XY where non-breeding pokemon are guaranteed to have at least 3 perfect IVs. Not only does this apply to legendaries, it also applies to baby pokemon, like Azumarill.
So I caught several wild Azumarill (fairly common) and set foot on the breeding adventure. It took a while, but I finally got a male Marill with 5 perfect IVs -- everything but Attack. This is excellent for my purposes because Attack is the stat I care about least for Togekiss and Greninja. Moreover, I received a female Froakie from WT which has a perfect Attack stat (and nothing else) so it matched up well.
So now I'm breeding Froakie. My goal is Timid nature with its hidden ability and perfect stats, Attack being the least important. My female Froakie has the hidden ability and my understanding is that it has 60% chance of passing down. In case anyone is curious, Froakie's hidden ability is
Protean. Before any attack is used, Froakie's type is changed to match the attack. That means it gets STAB bonus on everything, and it can also potentially pull of some cute tricks like becoming ground type right before an electric attack.
Neither the Froakie nor my Marill are Timid, so I couldn't use an Everstone to pass that down. I gave Marill a Power Lens to guarantee passing down SpAtk (arbitrarily chosen) and Froakie the Destiny Knot (which makes breeding for IVs so much easier). The first Froakie egg I hatch... oh man, so close! It's Timid, it has the hidden ability, and it has 5 perfect IVs. Unfortunately, the bad IV was SpDef. I'll have to check later what it actually is -- might be worth it to just say "good enough". If only this Froakie were female! I think I will have to get the power item that passes down SpDef and aim to hatch a female hidden ability Froakie with perfect SpDef, so I can pair it with this near-perfect baby.
OTOH, sticking with Marill and the original mother would also be fun simply because the mother is Japanese, which gives me a slightly better chance of hatching a shiny. But since she only has one perfect IV (and not even one I care about), it'll be tough to hatch another one with such good stats.
