IVs
,no edit summary
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 [[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.
==IVs and Evolution==
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.
