Pokemon Go IVs - a space to share and get help with the individual values of your Pokemon GO team!

Welcome to Pokemon Go IVs!

This is a space to share and get help with the individual values (IV's) of your Pokemon Go team!

Our sister-subreddit is r/PokemonGOBattleLeague if you're interested in PVP!

What are IVs?

Each Pokemon in the game is unique. Not only does each distinct species have "base" stats for attack, defense, and stamina, but each individual Pokemon has additional unique values for those three stats. These are called 'Individual Values' or IV's and range from 0-15 for each stat.

How Important are IV's?

IVs are not as impactful in Go as in the main series games. But they can make up to a 10% difference in attack, defense, or stamina. In PVP, it's the "least important, but still important thing."

How Do I Know My Pokemon's IV's?

Check where your team leader mentions the quality of your pokemon. There will be 3 sections: Attack, Defense, and HP.

Each section has 3 bars, and each bar holds 5 places (15 total). Totally empty is 0, totally full is 15. You've got to get used to eyeballing it to quickly know if it's in-between a bar.

Would you involve this in a mirror lucky Trade? I feel Like the Chances Are way to high for getting worse IVs especially 15 Attack is kinda nice to have.

IV changed?!

Hello. I took a break from Pokemon Go a while back. I came back to it and found out my shadow Dragonite that went from a maxed health and maxed defense stat, with the attack stat missing just 1 bar has been changed to some other assortment of 3* stats. Support is confused and said they do not know why. Any help or advice for explanation? Thanks.

What would you evolve this into? Gardevoir or Gallade?

Obviously Gardevoir is the better option, but why might a Gallade be cool?

Finally got a perfect Eevee. What is the strongest eevelution that you would evolve to? I don’t have sylveon yet and would rather wait until that quest. I mainly raid and occasionally Battle league.

Is this worth purifying for the hundo?

I’ve always seen people say in some cases that purifying for 100% is a cardinal sin, but am wondering what the general consensus is

Is 15/15/14 Melmetal effectively a hundo? (PVP)

I'm looking to level up Melmetal and use it in the master league. This one is the best I have.

Is this one the same as hundo? I checked all shield scenarios on pvpoke and it seems to perform the same as hundo. Not sure about breakpoints/bulkpoints.

Keep this and fuse another? How well would it do in pvp ?

So I have a lucky solgaleo from a trade. I know fusing will take the Necrozmas ivs. So im thinking should evolve another cosmog into solgaleo for the fusion and keep this one as it is?
