Breeding Help IVs XY?

I am trying to get a Pinsir with Perfect IVs in all stats except Sp.Def. I have two pinsir in the daycare with Perfect HP and Attack IVs. One is holding a Power Band and one a destiny knot. I keep getting children with HP and Attack IVs and not anything else. Need help to make the perfect Pinsir.

Well, imagine the Day Care as an IV compounder, or mixer. You can’t put spinach and carrots into a mixer and expect apple juice, can you?

In a similar fashion, the offsprings can only inherit the IVs that they’re parents have. The two Pinsirs have good Attack and HP IVs, so those would be the IVs that pass down to the offspring. On the other hand, good IVs like Defense or Speed which are not present in the parents would not be inherited. Those would be decided by luck, as usual.

To get the Pinsir you want, you would have to switch around parents a bit. Before we proceed, please place all your ethics aside in that box, because GF gets weird starting now.

First, you must somehow manage to get a 6 IV Ditto (or a 6 IVmalePokemon from the Bug Egg Group). Try asking some people to lend one to you. Secondly, procure a female offspring with the HP and Attack IVs. Commence the breeding of the aforementioned Pokemon, making one (any one) hold the Destiny Knot.

And that was the easiest method to get a 5 IV Pokemon. Basically, it’s a lot of breeding, egg hatching and disappointment. Don’t lose patience though, eventually the 5 IV would emerge.

Hope I helped!
