*Attack = (Base Attack + Individual Attack) * [[CP Multiplier]]
*Defense = (Base Defense + Individual Defense) * CP Multiplier
*Attack Stamina = (Base Attack Stamina + Individual Stamina) * CP Multiplier A Pokemon with 15 Individual Attack, 15 Individual Defense and 15 Individual Stamina is considered perfect! A perfect [[Vaporeon]] will have 275 STA, 220 ATK, 192 DEF. ==Appraisals==Players can check the IVs of their Pokemon in-game through [[Appraisal System]]. ==Why Do We Want to Know IVs==People want to know IVs of Pokemon because they don't want to waste [[Stardust]] and [[Candy]] on [[Power Up|powering up]] Pokemon with low IVs and thus low [[stats]]. They want to have the most powerful Pokemon, ones with the highest stats (highest IVs) . ==How Are IVs Calculated==IVs are hidden from the player. Players need to use [[CP]], [[HP]] and amount of [[Stardust]] required to [[Power Up]] to calculate the Pokemon's IV. Stardust is used because it is related to [[level]]. Level is part of the formula for CP and HP. Knowing the Stardust cost gives you a narrower range of values for those numbers. *Note that [[Weight]] and [[Height]] have no effect on IVs. ==Combat Effectiveness of Different IVs=={| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"|-! Versus! IV Advantage|-|100% IV vs. 0% IV || 31.40%|-|100% IV vs. 50% IV || 14.20%|-|100% IV vs. 80% IV || 5.36%|-|100% IV vs. 90% IV || 2.63%|-|90% IV vs. 50% IV || 11.25%|-|90% IV vs. 80% IV || 2.66%|-|80% IV vs. 0% IV || 24.65%|-|80% IV vs. 50% IV || 8.36%|-|50% IV vs. 0 % IV || 14.98%|-|}* 100% IV is a Pokemon with +15/+15/+15 to [[Attack]]/[[Defense]]/[[Stamina]].*All IV comparisons are between the average of all the fully evolved Pokemon.For two of same Pokemon (same [[CP Multiplier]], [[Moves|move set]] and everything else), one with 100% IV and another with 0% IV, the 100% IV Pokemon will do 31.4% more damage before it faints. When compared to an average Pokemon (50% IV), a 100% IV Pokemon will do 14.2% more damage before it faints. ==Wild Pokemon and IVs==The same exact [[Pokemon]] will have the same IVs. If a [[Bulbasaur]] spawns and 2 or more trainers catch that Bulbasaur, the newly caught Bulbasaur will have the same IVs across all trainers but won't have the same [[CP]]. ==IVs and Evolution and Eggs==IVs DO NOT CHANGE when you [[evolve]] a Pokemon. Note that the Pokemon's [[Moves|move set]] might change after evolution. Pokemon From Eggs: On average, Pokemon hatched from [[Eggs]] has better IVs than Pokemon caught in the wild.
