# Gene for Potential

The potential values of the offspring will be greatly influenced by their parents.

The specific mechanism is that the Starmon offsprings will first inherit four inherent potential evaluation scores from both parents, and then obtain the other two evaluation scores based on random probabilities, which means that if parents have more potential evaluation score of 10 points, their offspring will also have a higher potential value.
