Individual Values

By Omega

IVs (formerly called DVs) are Individual Values given to each Pokemon's stat at the moment it's obtained. IVs are unchangable throughout the Pokemon's growth. Here's how IVs work: A Pokemon with an Atk IV of 20 at lvl 100 will have an Atk stat of 20 more than a Pokemon with an Atk IV of 0 at lvl 100. In short, IV = final increase at lvl 100. This growth is applied to all the stats.

IVs can't be lower than 0, or higher than 31. The higher the IV, the better the stat.

The move Hidden Power is determined by IV values, and IVs are also passed on through breeding. You can check out the breeding guide for more information on how IVs can be passed down.
