Does it make a difference if both parents hold a destiny knot?
If I have a 4IV Sylveon spread out in 31spA/31spD/31spe/31atk and a 3IV Eevee spread out in 31def/31hp/31spe does it make a difference if I use two Destiny Knots?
Best Answer
No, it will have the same effect as using just one.
When breeding you usally want to pass down a Nature to the offspring, and you achieve that giving an Everstone to a parent. If you use two Destiny Knots you can't do that.

Does destiny knot affect both parents?
No. Only one parent Pokemon needs to be holding a Destiny Knot in order to influence the inherited IVs of the eggs that are produced.Does it matter which parent holds destiny knot?
As Bulbapedia states: If Destiny Knot is held by a Pok\xe9mon in Day Care, five of the parents' combined twelve IVs will be passed down to the child. So no, it doesn't matter which parent holds it. What's important in breeding is that the parent with the Nature you want to pass down has to held a Everstone.Do two Destiny knots stack?

Answer 2
I have discovered that giving BOTH parents a Destiny Knot will make them spawn tons of offspring with random natures and zero offspring with just plain stats with a neutral nature. So once you have two 5 perfect-IV parents and you just want to spawn a bunch of perfect 5-IV offspring with random natures until you get the nature you want this is the way to do it. Then, once you get that 5 perfect-IV child with the correct nature you can give it an Everstone and leave the other intended parent of the opposite gender with the Destiny Knot. This is a quicker and more consistent way of getting 5 perfect-IV Pokemon with your intended natures.
