Breeding

IV Breeding Guide

Destiny Knot:

The first thing you need to know for breeding high IV Pokémon is how a Destiny Knot works. These can be obtained by either buying or crafting them.

Crafting Recipe:

When breeding Pokémon with no items, only three stats are inherited from the parents while the other three are randomized.

Example:

(Example Above: "Xs" are stats that weren't passed down to the child and were randomized).

Breeding with a Destiny Knot passes down five stats from both parents instead of three. This does not stack, meaning the maximum that can be passed down is five, with one stat always randomized.

Example:

(Example Above: Attack is the only random stat, while the other five are inherited from the parents).
