:::I'm pretty sure this hypothesis is invalid. I hatched 16 Lapras eggs (50:50 gender ratio), and the father held the knot. I got only seven males.

I meant to redact my former statement earlier in the week, after I got 3 female snorlax in a batch of 5. The father was holding the DK, so it all comes down to just plain luck.

:I'd like to once again bring this topic back up with another hypothesis. I think the gender of the baby is influenced by which parent it inherits its IVs from. In other words, inheriting an IV from a parent increases the chance of the baby sharing its gender with that parent. If this hypothesis is correct, it means you have direct influence over what gender the baby has by giving it a power item. (The exact numbers I do not know.) | |||
:I've been breeding hundreds of Snorlaxes; the father has 5 perfect IVs, and the mother has 1, 2, or 3 in each case that I've tested. In each case, I used a power item to guarantee an IV was passed down from the father that the mother didn't have, and the results I've seen are around 80% male when Snorlax should be 50% male-female. This is after breeding around 100 Snorlaxes. (Note: The species of the male didn't appear to matter, as I saw the same results when I started with a Whismur as the father.) | |||
:To further confirm this, I have hatched 8 male Snorlaxes with 5 perfect IVs, and not a single 5 perfect IV female. The females I did hatch tended to have less perfect IVs (generally having at least one of their mother's perfect IVs plus the IV guaranteed to come from the father due to the power item). Whereas, the males usually had 3+ perfect IVs. However, this particular bit of data is unconvincing to me as my sample size for females was quite small due to the fact that I only had around 20% female hatch rate. | |||
:As a secondary hypothesis, I would say that the IVs inherited might influence the personality value of the baby. In other words, this might not only influence gender, but everything influenced by the personality value, such as ability, nature, shininess and Wurmple's evolution. I have only tested this in Omega Ruby, so it may be a new mechanic to ORAS. I'll also mention that the mother was holding a Destiny Knot in each case and both parents had the same OT in what I tested if anyone was interested. I wonder if anyone else has come across similar results, and I will probably do some further testing to see what I can find.
