You forgot the monkeys.

good luck, glad I could help!

Thanks for the help! I’ll start on that froakie right now!

well if you wish to transfer the ability, then you want the mother to have the ability, otherwise, the father can only pass the ability if he is breeding with ditto. this is the only factor that really comes down to chance. one more thing, remember that the knot will take IV’s from both parents. if, say, the father has a good atk stat but the mother does not, it may take her atk stat instead of his. its all just rinse and repeat until you get what you want. patience is key!

Thanks! Is there any way to transfer ability? Because I want a good protean froakie.

no they don’t, which brings me to my next point. only one parent needs to hold the destiny knot, which leaves the other parent without an item! this is good opportunity to make it hold an everstone, which makes the offspring have the same nature as the holder. using all these techniques, its quite a lot easier to make a decent pokemon this generation. now, this does ake time, it usually takes me a whole day to get a team ready for EV training and Leveling, but with enough patience, you’ll be making good teams in no time! hope I helped! any more questions?

Yes, but do they both have to hold a destiny know to do so?
