Most pokemon breeders use a 6IV ditto holding a destiny knot as parent #1 and whatever they are trying to breed as parent #2. This take some of the luck out of pokemon breeding but it's not guaranteed.
I will assume you know about breeding for natures and egg moves already. So let's say you already have your parent pokemon with the right nature and any possible egg moves already and it only has 3 perfect ivs. If your other parent also has 3 ivs, keep hatching eggs until you find a baby with 4 or more ivs. Then replace one of the parents with the new baby.
So now you have a 3 iv parent and a 4 iv parent. Keep breeding those till you get either a 4 or 5 iv baby to replace the "worst" parent. Keep doing this until you get 5 iv babies. It's becomes a long process but once you get the hang of it it will become really easy.
There are several videos online that can help explain this. But just remember that even though you do have a lot of control over what the eggs can be, there is still a lot of luck involved. For me when I breed I use a 6iv ditto that I got from a breedingdittos sub reddit, and sometimes I can hatch a perfect egg in less then 10 eggs or sometimes it can take 100 eggs. It's all about the random number generator (RNG)
Thanks for the advice. I'll eventually have to get ahold of a 6IV Ditto somehow.
