If it gets infatuated, it will then have a 50% chance to not attack your Pokemon. The other use of the Destiny Knot has to do with breeding Pokemon. If a Pokemon that is holding this has offspring, then the child will inherit five of the twelve IVs from its parents. This way, you can make some very powerful offspring.
