Question about breeding item.


Kunisada

Question

It's not a question about hunting pokemon nor item. 
But, if i could ask...
How do Destiny Knot and Power Item works?
It said that Power Item guarantees to inherit a specific IV from the holding parent to the egg depending on the item, and Destiny Knot inherits 5 random IV from the holding parent to the egg.
But I tried to breed in Reborn, unfortunately, it doesn't seems like that.
Can anyone explain?
Thank you.

Okay, so the parents have 12 IVs in total (6 stats for the mother and 6 for the father). Usually when breeding the baby inherits 3 IVs (in 3 different stats) and the others will be random. The Destiny Knot makes it so that the baby inherits 5 of the 12 IVs from the parents (again, in different stats). If you give one of the parents the Destiny Knot to hold and the other parent one of the power items, then 1 of the 5 inherited IVs is guaranteed to be the one that corresponds to the power item (e.g. if the father holds the power weight, the baby will inherit the father's HP + 4 other stats from either parent).

So I think your main issue is that you misunderstood Destiny Knot. Let me know if there's still something left unclear.

Thanks.
But, I would rather give Destiny Knot and a Power Item, instead of Everstone, since we can change the nature by using 3 Heart Scale.
I was trying to breed a perfect IV by myself, and this is hard 😅 
It's the second time i got 30/31/31/31/31/31, almost perfect. But i still can't get the perfect one.

Yea, I know this feeling. Being a perfectionist, I like 31/31/31/31/31/31 too. But additionally I breed for shinies... so imagine how frustrating that can get when you suddenly have a 'mon with 6 perfect IVs and it isn't shiny.

But in most cases you don't need max in one of the attacking stats. For special attackers you actually want your attack IVs to be very low, to minimize Foul Play damage (even though that rarely matters).

That will be very-very frustating. Shiny is still rare even with shiny charm.
But good luck for that.
