From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if | From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if at least one parent holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three. This can be combined with an [[EV-enhancing item]] to select the IV that is transferred. | ||
Even though a parent may be holding an EV-enhancing item that passes on a stat, the other parent's IV of that same stat is still part of the 5 IV Destiny Knot selection. The EV-enhancing item's IV will always override the stat if two of the same stats are chosen to be passed down, but it will result in the passing down on only 4 IV's instead of 5 from the parents. This means that using an EV item doesn't guarantee 5 IVs to be passed down. | Even though a parent may be holding an EV-enhancing item that passes on a stat, the other parent's IV of that same stat is still part of the 5 IV Destiny Knot selection.
