[Sword & Shield] Breeding rolycoly

I am trying to breed a 6IV rolycoly from two parents rolycoly having each 5IV in the same statistics. I gave a parent the destiny knot. I know I could just use a silver bottle cap, but i ve never had a 6IV pokemon from breeding so i just want to try. I just have no idea how much eggs i will still have to hatch lol. I have already got 150 useless rolycoly! How much is it going to take in your opinion?

For me it takes up to 200-250 eggs to get from a 3 IV to a 5 or 6 but for you I would estimitate about 30-50 more unless you are hoping for shiny

Well, it depends on your luck, but it's less than a 2% chance (so < 1/50). From this old but rather extensive article (that I am wondering if I should update given newer games and updates to GO now...) https://daily.pokecommunity.com/201...ame-shiny-and-perfect-pokemon/#perfectpokemon

What if both parents each had only five perfect IVs? If they have the same imperfect stat, it becomes 1.56%; if they have different stats, that becomes 0.78%.

So AMP017's estimate isn't far off!

You've been unlucky to not get a 6IV from that, (about 9.5% chance of no 6IVs with that setup in 150 eggs). Good luck with your next batch.

update: still nothing. RIP. i m at 333 rolycoly and still nothing huh

I also want to download Pokemon sword and shield please tell me how to download that.pls tell me.

update: i finally hatched a perfect Rolycoly. omg it took sooooooo much. it was like the 436th rolycoly

Is that math correct? Calculated the odds below.

Same 5 IVs
Copies 5 of 6 IVs. Randomizes the imperfect stat with a 1/6 chance. Ranges from 0 to 31 from there. So:
(1/6) * (1/32) = 1/192, or 0.52%.

Different 5 IVs
Breaks this into three separate cases.
Case A: Picks Parent A's imperfect stat with a 1/6 chance. Rolls from 0 to 31, once again. Becomes a 1/2 chance on Parent B's imperfect stat.
(1/6) * (1/2) * (1/32) = 1/384

Case B: Mimics the above. Picks Parent B's imperfect stat. Flips a coin on Parent A's stat.
(1/6) * (1/2) * (1/32) = 1/384

Case C: Selects a stat both parents are perfect in with a 4/6 chance. Rolls the magic 31. Walks away with two perfects on the shaky stats with two separate 1/2 chances.
(4/6) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/32) = 4/768

Adds them together.
(1/384) + (1/384) + (4/768) = (8/768)
= 1/96, or 1.04%.

Or is there an error above?
