Hello! I am curious, how destiny knot would affect shiny mega able chance of pokemon:
I know, that in the main series game shinyness was determined by IV's so just curious how it affects it in PH:

Situation 1:
Shiny(+ Destiny Knot) + any = ....?
I do not know if being megaAble means a specific kind of IV.

Situation 2:
Shiny(+Destiny knot) + megaAble = should be same as Situation 1

Situation 3:
Shiny(+Destiny knot) + Shiny(+Destiny knot) = should have the best chances at being shiny

I tried to find some information in Riako's posts about this, but found little to no information.
I won't be trying to hunt for perfect IV mon, though.

In PH IVs affect the probability of being mega able, though I dont think it has anything to do with being a shiny

So the better the IVs of a pokemon the better chance of it being mega able, which i guess makes it easier to hatch a SM

I dont know the exact probabilities though

So in that case having a shiny with destiny knot and a mega able one should lead to the best results
Thank you! ^^

shinies and mega parents do not affect shiny/mega chances! "The shininess of the parents does NOT affect the shininess of the bred Pokémon. This means that if one (or both) of the parents is shiny there is no additional chance of that hatching a Shiny from the eggs bred by them."

so simply two high iv pokemon both with destiny knots should be highest mega chance!
