I can't find any info anywhere on the interwebs about being able to predict what you get out of connecting two Pokéwalkers. So, I've taken it upon myself to figure this out and have some interesting results.
One interesting observation I have made (and I've been compiling data from multiple such connections) is that the two items obtained on each Pokéwalker are ALWAYS in adjacent item tiers (tier 1 items requiring 0 steps to unlock all the way to tier 10 requiring the most for a given route) for their respective routes.
For instance, if I were to connect two Pokéwalkers and one Pokéwalker got a tier 6 item, but the other Pokéwalker had less steps, the second Pokéwalker would get the tier 5 item. The only exception from this rule that I've noticed is if both Pokéwalkers have 0 steps, in which case they both get the tier 1 items for their respective routes.
The most interesting point is that I have a working method for predicting what the item outcomes would be from a connection such as this. The item received is determined based on the average tier of item unlocked in both Pokéwalkers' routes.
If neither Pokéwalker is holding an item from a previous connection, then I can predict which items I'll get on both routes, based upon the average tier item unlocked for the Dowsing Machine on both Pokéwalkers.
*Note: for this table, the higher tier item goes to the Pokéwalker with the most steps for the day.
Average Tier Unlocked---------Item Tiers
1.0-1.5................................1 and 2
2.0-2.5................................2 and 3
3.0-3.5................................3 and 4
4.0-4.5................................4 and 5
5.0-5.5................................5 and 6
6.0-6.5................................6 and 7
7.0-7.5................................7 and 8
8.0-8.5................................8 and 9
9.0-9.5................................9 and 10
10.0....................................9 and 10
Consider the implications of this: if you can predict which items you will receive, then you can choose which items you want from this process. I have already done so and have easily obtained several very rare items from the process - items that would have been painfully irritating to obtain via the Dowsing Machine (plus it would have likely wasted hundreds of Watts in the process).
Now, if even one of the Pokéwalkers is holding an item received from one of these connections, the results are different, and I haven't entirely figured out how it determines which items are obtained if one or more Pokéwalkers already has one of these "connection items."
Also, all of this data is from tests which I have personally performed. If anyone is willing to check my results, I would be delighted to see what you find. More information can only help the process, IMHO.
