Equality Cages 138: Squishdoku by gUBBLOR https://link.sudoku-sleuth.com/EqualityCages138

Rules:

Squishdoku: There are nine 3x3 boxes, which overlap at the dashed lines. Place the digits 1-9 in each box so that no digits repeat in any box, column, or row.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

XV: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Adjacent cells connected with a V must sum to 5. Not all X's or V's are shown.
