High IV Ditto | Will be a parent for nearly any Pokemon |
Destiny Knot | If a Pokemon in the Day Care center holds this, 5 of its IVs are passed to its offspring. |
Everstone | If a Pokemon in the Day Care center holds this, its offspring will have the same nature. |
Power Item | Will increase the EVs you can obtain from battle by +8. If a Pokemon in the Day Care center holds this, it will pass down the respective IV to an offspering. |
