[14 / 1 / ?]
alright /vp/, i don't know how to math. what are the odds of getting a 5IV offspring, when the father has 5IVs and the mother has 4IVs. i've gone through 30 eggs with no luck, so tell me what i'm doing wrong.

>>15898735 Basically a 1/6 chance of Destiny Knot using the right stats and then a 1/2 chance of the 5th stat being taken from the wrong parent so like 1/12 chance of it being right. RNG is sometimes a bitch though.

1/12 if all are overlapping

>>15899592 You mean 1/18 if not, right? Cause the chance should be lower if not overlapping.

50% chance 5 IVs come from either parent

>>15899764 Passes 5 random stats from both parents. However it's not 50% all father stats. It's 50% for 1 particular father stat, 25% for 2 particular stats, 1/8 for all 3 particular stats. 1/16 for 4 and 1/32 for 5 particular stats transferred from father (this is assuming all 5 transferred stats are the correct ones.)

>>15898735 What you need is hypergeometric distribution. With that you can calculate the probability. For this case it sould be around 15%, which is around 1 in 7 or so.

>>15899869 okay thats what I thought. essentially it just boosts the number from 3 random passed down stats to 5
