/vp/ I need some sort of explanation here.
I'm currently trying to breed a 6IV Female Smeargle for shits and giggles. I have a 6IV Male and a 5IV Female. However I keep getting 4IV's... Is this normal? I always got 5IV's with other pokemon however this time it keeps tossing me 4IV's in the offspring. It does have a destiny knot equipped too...

destiny knot grabs 5 random iv's from either trainer, so lets say for arguments sake, your 5iv is missing HP
the knot keeps grabbing ATK, SATK, DEF, and SDEF from either, it grabs HP from the low one... thus it generates its own Speed. ergo, 4 iv's

Well, you guessed my missing IV...

But thank you for the explanation.

so there is no difference between breeding 2 6iv pokemon and 2 5iv ones? when using destiny knot?

There is. Because the destiny knot will always grab 5 perfect IV's from the 2 parents, and it'll generate the last IV at random. So you have a 1/32 chance of getting a 6IV mon from 2 IV parents.

Coulda guessed that

Two 6 IV parents should guarantee every baby is at least 5 IV, so there's a pretty big difference.

When you breed 2 6 IVs pokémon the offspring always inherits 5 IVs of 31 from its parents. So If you want a pentaperfect pokémon you can get 1 in about 6 offsprings, and if you want a full perfect about one in 32.
When breeding 6 IV you always get a 5 or 6 IV pokémon, and when breeding a 6 IV with a 5 IV you get in the worst case scenario a 4 IV. OP is just being unlucky, I always end up using two 5 IV mons on my final stages of breeding and get lots of 5 IV and even some 6 IV.
