What is a IV and how should I apply this to my Pokemon?

Feb. 3, 2016

Now that I understand EV’s can someone Explain IV’s?

An IV is a random number given to each of a Pokemon’s stats upon generation. Having higher IVs will increase the stat. I believe that IVs also affect what type Hidden Power is.

There is no way to find exact IVs but they will have a characteristic based on which Iv is the highest. Here are the characteristsics:

Attack

Proud of its powerLikes to thrash aboutA little quick temperedLikes to fightQuick tempered

Defense

Sturdy bodyCapable of taking hitsHighly persistentGood enduranceGood perserverance

Special Attack

Highly curiousMischievousThoroughly cunningOften lost in thoughtVery finicky

Special Defense

Strong willedSomewhat vainStrongly defiantHates to loseSomewhat stubborn

Speed

Likes to runAlert to soundsImpetuous and sillySomewhat of a clownQuick to flee

There is a page on IVs on the site if you need more info.
