I Don't Understand Breeding

I have two ralts with 5 best IVs and pretty good and decent on speed(male) and sp def (female).

They have a destiny knot.

And I'm getting a lot of 3 best and 4 best with the other IVs being decent or fantastic, even where the best overlap on the parents.

Is this normal? Does destiny knot not work?

Is my quest for 6 IV monsters to breed into other lines a mad dream?

Quoted By:

destiny knot passes down 5 random IVs from the 2 parents. can be 1 from male and 4 from female, or all from the male and none from the female

so in the case of 3 IVs you could inherit speed from the male and the spdef from the male, along with 3 other stats from any of the parents. last stat would then be random

it's just dice rolls, nothing much else beyond it. good luck

Don't bother with 6IV, 5 is enough for comp/online most of the time. If you're breeding a Gyarados, you'd get a 5IV with imperfect special attack, for example.

Quoted By:

The Destiny Knot only passes down 3 IVs from one parent and 2 from the other. The final IV is randomized.

So, even if you had two pokemon with perfect IVs breed, you still can't guarantee a perfect egg. At best you have a 1/32 chance of producing a perfect offspring.
