EV Training Guide, Topic 3: IVs

from here on things get realy complicated but try and stick with me IVs are tough to understand but once you do youl be able to bring out your pokemons full potential in ANY stat.

IVs Unlike (EVs), these are determined the moment you get your Pokemon, and
are pretty much what differentiates two Pokemon of the same species, and even
of the same gender, ability and nature. once youve caught or hatched a pokemon its IVs are FIXED and cant be changed.

IVs are six different values determined for the six main stats - HP, Attack,
Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. They range from 0 to 31,
and the higher they are, the higher the base and maximum number a Pokemon's
stat may be.

One other thing is that it is very, VERY unlikely for your Pokemon to have an
IV of 31 for all stats, let alone have an IV of 31 for one stat (and even if it
did, it may not be your desired stat), so it is extremely hard to breed for the
perfect IVs. Several IV breeders take months to get ONE perfect Pokemon, so it
is really dependent on luck. There is only one way to influence IVs, and that
is through breeding.
Whenever you breed a Pokemon, it inherits three of the twelve IVs from both
parents.

!!! READ THIS VERRY IMPORTANT!!!
ever wonder what that characteristic listed on your pokemons stats screen means? like: "Often Dozes off" or "Proud of its Power"?


as an extra bonus - introduced in Diamond and Pearl is a value called a
Characteristic. This tells you what the highest IV of a Pokemon is, which is
really helpful and a quick way to tell if your Pokemon has good IVs or not. It
does not give you exact values, though, so you should still resort to IV
calculators for that.
