Did I make a mistake with the Destiny Knot in IV breeding?

Question

I was breeding Pidoves to try some IV breeding.
I had a 2 IV male with Attack and Speed and a female Pidove with Speed IVs.
The male was holding a Destiny Knot and female was holding a Power Anklet.
I got a female Pidove with 1 IV in Speed.

Have I done something wrong?

Answer 1

Destiny Knot IV breeding only works in X/Y so if you are using it in previous gens then it won't work.
But if you ARE using the Destiny Knot in X/Y it only passes 5IVs from either parent so it doesn't always transfer the IVs you want, so you have to rely on chance.

But, with a power anklet it guarantees that the speed is passed on (everstone is pretty much always better thought).

Answer 2

As far as I can tell, you did nothing wrong.
The destiny knot transfers 5 random IVs from the parents to the offspring, I guess it was just bad luck this time.

Hope I helped.
