Did I make a mistake with the Destiny Knot in IV breeding?
Jun. 5, 2014I was breeding Pidoves to try some IV breeding.I had a 2 IV male with Attack and Speed and a female Pidove with Speed IVs.The male was holding a Destiny Knot and female was holding a Power Anklet.I got a female Pidove with 1 IV in Speed.
Have I done something wrong?

Destiny Knot IV breeding only works in X/Y so if you are using it in previous gens then it won’t work.But if you ARE using the Destiny Knot in X/Y it only passes 5IVs from either parent so it doesn’t always transfer the IVs you want, so you have to rely on chance.

As far as I can tell, you did nothing wrong.The destiny knot transfers 5 random IVs from the parents to the offspring, I guess it was just bad luck this time.
