There is one easy and repeatable way to get as many Destiny Knots as you want in both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, there is one requirement. You must defeat four Gym Leaders and then head to the Delibird Presents on the west side of Mesagoza City to buy this item.

There is no limit to how much you can purchase in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The only thing that you need to consider is that they cost ₽20,000 each. It also doesn't matter which four Gym Leaders you beat to unlock it. Any four will do the trick, with the easiest four being the following:

  • Katy
  • Brassius
  • Iono
  • Kofu

Kofu is the strongest of this bunch, with his highest-leveled Pokemon being Level 30. You can still defeat any other of the four Gym Leaders if you'd like.

Once you have defeated four Gym Leaders, it's time to head to the western Delibird Presents store in Mesagoza City. The above image reflects where you can find it. It's quite close to the western Pokemon Center, meaning that it should only take you a minute to get there.

Once you get here, head inside the store. For reference, the cover photo of this article is the store you're looking for here. Simply approach the door to enter Delibird Presents, where you will see a screen similar to the following image.

The Destiny Knot you're looking for is near the bottom of this list. If you have yet to beat any four Gym Leaders, then you won't be able to see this item here. Otherwise, you can purchase one for ₽20,000. Alternatively, you can also use LP if you are low on Pokedollars.

This method is the main way you can acquire this item. It's an easy requirement for most Trainers, especially since it's available from mid-game onward. It's important to note that this item is specifically from the Mesagoza branch and not from Levincia or Cascarrafa.

Some branches have unique items to purchase, so astute Trainers might wish to search all of them for the battle items they need.


How to use Destiny Knot?

There are two effects that Destiny Knot has in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The first one is unremarkable since all it does is make any Pokemon who are infatuated with the user also become infatuated in return. Much better held items exist for battling, but the second effect of Destiny Knot is extremely good.

Basically, this item has an additional bonus when it comes to breeding. Give one of your Pokemon the Destiny Knot to ensure that its offspring will receive most of their IVs.

This effect is extremely good when coupled with a perfect 6IVs Ditto since Ditto can breed with anything else capable of producing offspring in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

You don't lose this item whenever its holder breeds. Hence, take advantage of it to produce as many good eggs as possible.
