In the Pokmon video game series, a Pokmon’s IVs (Individual Values) are hidden numerical values that determine the potential of its stats. IVs are assigned randomly when a Pokmon is created, and they cannot be changed. However, it is possible to check a Pokmon’s IVs using a variety of methods.
Knowing a Pokmon’s IVs can be important for competitive battling, as it allows players to identify which Pokmon have the best potential. IVs can also be used to determine which Pokmon are worth investing in, as Pokmon with higher IVs will generally be stronger than those with lower IVs.
