>Breeding two 5IV parents trying to get a 6IV baby >Both

Someone got cucked.

Doesn't Destiny Knot only take 3 or 4 IVs from random stats from each parent or something

>>26848803
it takes 5 from the pairs total

Dentiny Knot picks 5 IVs from both parents, it an pick the two imperfect IVs and give you an imperfect as a spare

Jessie is cute

Destiny Knot takes 5 randomly picked stats from the parents. Those unlucky eggs simply took the only two sub-par stats from the entire breeding setup, resulting in untermenschen children.

>>26848785
That's actually impossible though.

If you're breeding a 5IV and a 6IV mon, at worst, the Destiny Knot will take the imperfect IV and will generate another imperfect one. So 4IVs at 31 and the others at random.

>>26848803
You're right about that the Destiny Knot takes the IVs at random, but it's always 5 from either parent.

>>26848785
Not sure how your getting 3 IVs at 31 unless one of the parents doesn't have 5 IVs. Id double check that.
You are playing XY ORAS right? those are the only versions that let destiny bond send 5 IVs

>>26848839
No, it's possible. It just passes the imperfect from both parents

>>26848838
Disregard this, I read it wrong.
The Destiny Knot is taking both imperfect IVs and also generating a third imperfect one.

You should breed with two Mons with the same 5 perfect IVs to avoid that.

/thread

It depends on the amount of perfect IVs shared.

For example, if two 4IV parents have 3 IVs in common, the worst case scenario is a 2IV baby.

I'm guessing your 5IV parents only have 4 in common.

>>26848847

Parent A: 31/x/31/31/31/31
Parent B: x/31/31/31/31/31
5 IVs passed down from parents
Child: x/x/31/31/31/31/y (worst case senario)
Gotcha now, thanks. hope OP sees this

OP here. Thanks guys, I'm glad the first response wasn't some passive aggressive know-it-all post calling me out for being a pleb.

You guys are actually pretty cool most of the time.

I'll get that 6IV baby with the right nature soon....just gotta keep on keepin' on.

>nature

I meant hidden ability. Dur.

>>26848866
You added an extra IV on the child

>>26848921
I guess that poor thing not only its imperfect, but also retarded. Or a fag.

>>26848921
>>26848937
haha shit. my bad

>>26848866
there is also the fact that the 1 iv that is not chosen by the destiny knot gets randomly rolled
