I have a question. If you hyper trained a Ditto in a lacking IV(with a bottle cap) Would it be good to breed with? Would those IVs be passed down? I was thinking of trying it. Let me know if anyone else tries it too, we can compare results!
Yeah, both with mints and bottle caps, even though the nature and IVs have changed respectively, it's simply a mask. The Pokemon's "genes" are still what they were before. Think of it as plastic surgery. You have changed the outward appearance, but not the DNA so the DNA still gets passed.
