What happens if you give a Destiny Knot to a female pokemon

What happens if you give a Destiny Knot to a female pokemon? For example, if you have a female 5IV Talonflame and a 4IV male Fletchinder, will the IVs still be passed down?

EDIT: Does it matter which parent you give the Destiny Knot to?

Best Answer

As Bulbapedia states:

If Destiny Knot is held by a Pokémon 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. So the other one will necessarily held Destiny Knot.
