The Destiny Knot randomly pulls 5 IVs from both parents , not just the one holding it . The way I do it when starting with a scratch parent is hatch 5 eggs and check to see which one has the most perfect IVs . Then I swap the original parent with that one , rinse and repeat until I ' ve got the IVs I want . Usually it doesn ' t take too long this way before I start seeing 5 IV babiesas few as 2 cycles if I ' m super lucky , but 34 is more average . <| sep |> Ford doesn ' t know it <| sep |> I had a mix feeling as well . It got really hyped up and then Sony let go the IP and brought it back again . It took too long to get it done , but now the game is near it ' s release hopefully it will show some promise . fingers crossed
