To get 6 IV Pokemon (most competitive Pokemon need 5 stats at 31 to maximise effectiveness (forgoing the stat they don't attack with) but some need 6) , the idea is to have say 2 or 3 4 IV Ditto with different max IVs and a parent of the desired species and correct nature. You give the Ditto a Destiny Knot or Brace and the species parent an Everstone (to pass on nature), you then breed Offspring until you get 1 with how ever many perfect IVs the Ditto had (replacing the originally parent when an offspring has more IVs than the patent), then you do the same thing with another Ditto until you get a 5 IV parent, then you breed until you either get a better parent than the ditto and replace it or you get your 6 IV Pokemon. You only have a 5/6 chance the right IVs are passed down and then a 50/50 chance it's from the right parent then a 1/31 chance the random IV is 31. That leads to many many Breedjects which people wondertrade away.
People trying to breed perfect Shinies have at best a 1/512 chance on top of that (and probably worse since you need a different language parent and that's usually a Ditto and legitimate different region Dittos will have 3-4 IVs at best since Gen VI chaining was limited to 3 guaranteed and while VII allows 4, it takes 32 battles with 30 SOS chain Dittos to get a 5th on average which is ... improbable).
