Can Pokemon have 6 perfect IVs?
The answer to the question of whether Pokémon can have 6 perfect IVs (Individual Values) is yes, as it is technically possible for a Pokémon to have the maximum 31 IVs in all six of its stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, although it requires a great amount of time, patience, and luck. Achieving 6IV status is highly desirable in competitive battling, as it can significantly impact a Pokémon’s performance in battle, making it a crucial aspect of Pokémon breeding and training.
Understanding IVs and Their Impact on Pokémon
IVs are the genetic makeup of a Pokémon, determining its potential in each stat, and understanding how they work is essential for breeding and training competitive Pokémon.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How rare are 6 IVs?
One IV is always random, and the chance of getting 6IVs is the chance of getting 5IVs via the Destiny Knot multiplied by the chance of randoming 31 in the sixth (1/32).
2. Can Pokémon only have 5 perfect IVs?
5 IVs is often enough, as long as the missing stat is something the Pokémon will never use, making 5IV Pokémon highly valuable in certain situations.
3. What does 6IV mean Pokémon?
6IV refers to a Pokémon that has the maximum 31 IVs in all six of its stats, which is the ultimate goal for many Pokémon trainers.
4. How do you get the 6th perfect IV?
To get the 6th perfect IV, you can breed two 5IV Pokémon together to get a 6IV and then use that parent to propagate the IVs in further breeding projects.
5. How do you know if a Pokémon is 6IV?
The only way to tell if a Pokémon has full 6IV is to go to the IV checker at the Battle Resort’s Pokémon center and if it says your Pokémon has outstanding potential in all 6 stats, then you have perfect IVs.
6. How rare is a 6 IV Pokémon?
The odds of getting a 6IV Pokémon are 1 in 192 when breeding two 5IV parents with the same IVs and one of them holding a Destiny Knot.
7. Can you get all perfect IVs?
While getting a Pokémon with maybe one or two 31 IVs isn’t completely unheard of, grabbing high IV Pokémon through Max Raids is a good strategy, as the raid Pokémon can have anywhere from one to four perfect IVs.
8. What are the odds of getting a 6IV shiny Pokémon?
Breeding a 6IV Japanese Ditto and a 6IV American (for example) Gible gives you a 1/1365 chance of a shiny and 1/32 chance of a 6IV Pokémon, resulting in a 0.00002289377 (or .002%) chance of a shiny 6IV Pokémon.
9. Is a 0% IV Pokémon rare?

The chance to get a 100% IV (15/15/15) Pokémon in Pokémon GO is 1/4096, or in percentage, 0.0244%, and the chance to get any combination of IVs is the same and equals 1/4096.
11. How rare is a 31 IV Pokémon?
Every wild Pokémon has a 1/32 chance of any given stat having an IV of 31, and once you have caught a Pokémon with 31 in one of the IVs, that probability decreases.
12. Is the 6th IV always random?
One IV is always random, and therefore, the chance of getting 6IVs is the chance of getting 5IVs via the Destiny Knot multiplied by the chance of randoming 31 in the sixth (1/32).
13. What are bad IVs Pokémon?
If a Pokémon is created with IVs even below 20, they’re considered worthless and unusable, although there are cases where you wouldn’t want a 31 in a stat, such as the Speed stat for Trick Room.
14. What is a good IV value Pokémon?
A good IV value for a Pokémon will be somewhere between 0 and 31, with 31 being the best, as it allows the Pokémon’s stats to reach their maximum potential.
15. What is a 5iv Pokémon?
