📋 Summary
📖 What are Pokémon IVs?
Individual Values (IVs) are hidden stats that determine a Pokémon's potential. Each stat (HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed) has an IV ranging from 0 to 31.
A perfect IV of 31 means maximum potential in that stat. Competitive players aim for perfect IVs in relevant stats.
IV Ratings:
- ★★★★★ Perfect (31) - Best possible
- ★★★★☆ Fantastic (26-30) - Excellent
- ★★★☆☆ Very Good (16-25) - Good
- ★★☆☆☆ Pretty Good (1-15) - Average
- ★☆☆☆☆ No Good (0) - Lowest

IV Calculator Features
Our calculator supports all Pokemon from Generation 1 through Generation 9, including regional forms and special variants. The tool accounts for nature modifiers, ensuring accurate IV calculation even for Pokemon with boosted or reduced stats. EV (Effort Value) input options let you calculate IVs for Pokemon you’ve already trained.
The calculator shows IV ranges when exact IVs can’t be determined from the information provided. Perfect IV detection highlights when your Pokemon has maximum IVs in specific stats. The competitive viability indicator tells you whether your Pokemon’s IV spread is suitable for competitive battles. You can check multiple Pokemon quickly to compare which has better IVs for breeding or battling.
Why Use an IV Calculator?
Individual Values are hidden stats that significantly impact Pokemon performance in competitive battles. A Pokemon with perfect 31 IVs in Attack deals noticeably more damage than the same Pokemon with 0 Attack IVs. Knowing your Pokemon’s IVs helps you decide whether to invest time training them for competitive use or to continue breeding for better stats.
Wild-caught legendary Pokemon might have random IVs. Our calculator helps you determine if you should reset your game to catch a better version or if your current catch is worth keeping. For breeding projects, checking offspring IVs tells you which Pokemon inherit the best stats from their parents.
Perfect For
The IV calculator is essential for competitive Pokemon battlers verifying their Pokemon meet standards for ranked play. Shiny hunters check IVs after finally finding their shiny to decide if they should keep hunting or start training. Breeders track IV inheritance across generations to achieve perfect 6-IV offspring. Once you’ve verified your Pokemon’s IVs, add them to your competitive team using our team planner. Casual players curious about their favorite Pokemon’s hidden potential use it to learn about game mechanics.
