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.

Worth Investing In?
08:17 UTC
Is this worth investing in? How often will Groudon raids occur?
Is this one worth using a charge TM to get Precipice Blades and invest candies on? I’d like to use it mainly for raids and gyms. Should I wait and hope to get one with higher IVs? I’m not sure when I’ll get another chance at a Groudon.

Is this worth keeping for gbl?
I'm not new to pogo but I didn't care much for gbl, only occasionally I would play it. I know enough that 0/15/15 is best for gbl so shoukd I keep this?

Invest or wait for better IVs?
I caught this shadow shiny a little while back and I'm torn on what to do with it.. either way I definitely want to evolve it into a Metagross for the flex, but I'm not sure if these IVs are worth properly investing in as an attacker or if I'd be better holding out for a non-shiny with better IVs? (or at least one with a stronger attack)
I pretty much exclusively play PvE if that makes a difference, and I already have a level 40-something hundo (non-shadow) from the community day a few months ago. I caught this one just after the last Team Rocket takeover so it hasn't been TM'ed yet sadly

Should I purify a 100 IV to get the mega evolve?
I know shadow Pokémon are better than normal/purified Pokémon but Abomasnow has a Mega Evolution which I cannot use unless I purify him… an already 100% IV Pokémon. I kinda know the answer but what would you recommend me to do?

Would you pull the trigger?
Whelp. This is the best one I got so far after mirror trading with a buddy.
Guess I’ll pull the trigger. I 100% know I’ll get a better one after fully maxing out this guy.
