Ditto question...

Should I be hoarding Dittos in the event that breeding ever becomes I thing? And if so, do IVs matter? Would I need multiples or only one good Ditto?

I never played any of the other games so I don't quite understand the breeding mechanics. Thanks!

If it's like the original games, you'd need one Ditto with good IVs, or possibly two or three so you have a Ditto with 15 IV for each stat. Any more than that should be pointless.

Not hoarding Ditto's, no. You probably need 3 - a Ditto with a 15 in each IV - at most.

However... we have NO idea how Niantic might implement Breeder. IF they decide to implement breeding. And Ditto can be mad-hard to find (I just spent 3 weeks with a Catch a Ditto for 3 Rare Candies quest, for instance). So keeping more than 3 Ditto might be worthwhile, if you've got more than 3 and are asking about transferring some. And you have the Storage space.

I have about 130 Ditto saved. It started out as something fun. Then I heard about breeding and never stopped. They're useless, but I don't need their room. So I have em

Personally that many seems excessive, but if you are not hurting for space then go for it

If it ever happens you will AT MOST need the following:
-A perfect (or near-perfect) Ditto for general breeding purposes.
- 0atk/15def/15hp for PVP fine-tuning since many species benefit more from having low attack stat due to CP formula.
- 15atk/0def/15hp for certain damage-energy breakpoint gains
- And maybe one with each stat at 15 but I can't think for what specific purposes they would be useful. In general you will only want low attack or low defense but not low HP.
