What is IV Perfection and why is it important?

What advantage does a Pokemon have over a Pokemon of the same species with a lower IV at the same CP?



Best Answer

Pokémon in Pokémon GO have three IV's or "Individual Values":

  • Attack
  • Defense
  • Stamina

Attack and Defense affect CP, and Stamina affects HP. Each IV can have a value up to 15. "Perfect" Pokémon will have 15 in each category. A Pokémon with Perfect IV's will have higher CP and/or HP than one of the same species with lower IV's in any or all of the categories. The difference in CP and HP from the lowest total IV's to highest will vary depending on the species and evolution of the Pokémon.

Some calculators will display your Pokémon against a percentage of "Perfect IV", which is simply the ratio of the IV total for your Pokémon to the total possible IV of 45. A Pokémon with perfect 15's, or a total or 45 IV points, will be a 100% Perfect IV value.

Having a perfect IV means the pokemon has a 31 for that stat. When you see someone say a pokemon has 5-6 perfect IV's it means that it has 5-6 stats with IV's as high as they can possibly go for that species of pokemon. Imperfect IV just means it is not a perfect IV, it is less than 31.
