How to Breed Scarlet Violet in Pokémon IV

To breed Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can use the picnic system, which allows you to breed two compatible Pokémon anywhere and at any time, with a chance of producing Eggs. By utilizing specific items such as the Destiny Knot and Everstone, and understanding the concept of IVs (Individual Values), you can increase the chances of breeding Pokémon with desirable stats and natures.

Breeding Pokémon with Good IVs

Breeding Pokémon with good IVs requires a solid understanding of how IVs are passed down from parents to offspring. To increase the chances of passing down good IVs, giving a parent a Destiny Knot to hold will pass down five of their IVs to their child, randomly.

Understanding IVs

IVs play a crucial role in determining a Pokémon’s overall strength and performance in battle. By using a Destiny Knot, you can pass down five IVs from one parent, while the other IV is rolled randomly.
