Finding Individual Values

- Sat, Aug 14, 2010 (00:44:49 -0400)

This section is informative.

Finding a Pokemon's individual values will be most accurate if that Pokemon was just caught or hatched. It's less useful to find the IVs of a Pokemon that's already accumulated Effort Values (EVs) from battling, since in that case, two kinds of values are unknown-- namely IVs and EVs. Therefore, for best results, you should reduce the Pokemon's EVs to 0 before you find its IVs. You can do this by using the following berries on it:

* Pomeg Berry - Reduces HP EVs
* Kelpsy Berry - Reduces Attack EVs
* Qualot Berry - Reduces Defense EVs
* Tamato Berry - Reduces Speed EVs
* Hondew Berry - Reduces Special Attack EVs
* Grepa Berry - Reduces Special Defense EVs

Keep using each Berry on the Pokemon until it "won't have any effect" or the respective stat won't fall. When you do, you've cleared the EVs on that Pokemon.

There are two effective ways to find a Pokemon's IVs:

* Save the game, use the Berries mentioned above until the Pokemon's EVs are cleared, then use enough Rare Candy on the Pokemon until it reaches level 100. Open the Pokemon's summary screen and write down the Pokemon's stats. Restart the game without saving.
* Use the Berries mentioned above until the Pokemon's EVs are cleared. Then find a friend who will let you conduct a so-called "IV battle." Each of you must have the other's Friend Code in the Pal Pad. Enter the Wi-Fi Club and request a level 100 Single Battle. Your friend should accept the request. When the battle begins, open the Pokemon screen, choose the Pokemon to be checked, choose Summary, and write down the Pokemon's stats. When you're done, choose Run to end the battle.

Once you have the level 100 Pokemon's stats, go to the Stat Calculator and enter the Pokemon's species, nature, level (which will be 100), stats, and effort values (which will be 0.) Click "Calculate" and note the IVs calculated.
