IVs or Individual Values are Hidden Stats for each Pokemon. IVs are divided into 3 types: Individual Attack, Individual Defense and Individual Stamina. These stats are random and can range from 0 to 15. They are directly added to the Pokemon's Base Attack, Base Defense and Base Stamina to form its Attack, Defense and Stamina.
Formula:
- Attack = (Base Attack + Individual Attack) * CP Multiplier
- Defense = (Base Defense + Individual Defense) * CP Multiplier
- Attack = (Base Attack + Individual Attack) * 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, 201 ATK, 183 DEF.

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 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.
Combat Effectiveness of Different IVs
| Versus | IV Advantage |
|---|---|
| 100% IV vs. 0% IV | 31.40% |
| 100% IV vs. 50% IV | 14.20% |
| 100% IV vs. 90% IV | 2.63% |
| 90% IV vs. 50% IV | 11.25% |
| 50% IV vs. 0 % IV | 14.98% |
IVs and Evolution and Eggs
IVs DO NOT CHANGE when you evolve a Pokemon. Note that the Pokemon's move set might change after evolution.
Pokemon From Eggs: On average, Pokemon hatched from Eggs has better IVs than Pokemon caught in the wild.
