This tool calculates the Individual Values (IVs) of your Pokémon to help you understand their potential.
How to Use the IVs Calculator
To use this Individual Values (IVs) calculator, fill in the information about your Pokémon, including its level, base stats, and IVs for each stat.
Steps:
- Enter the level of your Pokémon.
- Enter the base stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed) as provided by the game’s official Pokédex.
- Enter the Individual Values (IVs) for each stat. These are values ranging from 0 to 31 that indicate the inherent potential of your Pokémon in each stat.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to calculate the final stats of your Pokémon.
Explanation of Calculations:
The calculator uses the following formula to determine the actual stats of your Pokémon:
- HP: ((2 * Base HP + IV) * Level / 100) + Level + 10
- Other Stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed): ((2 * Base Stat + IV) * Level / 100) + 5
Limitations:
This calculator assumes that you have accurate values for base stats and IVs. Incorrect values will result in inaccurate calculations. It does not account for potential EVs (Effort Values) and Natures that can also affect the final stats of a Pokémon.
