How to Check IVs in Pokémon

To check IVs (Individual Values) in Pokémon, you can use the Judge feature, which is available after defeating the Champion and speaking to the receptionist at the Pokémon Center, or by using the Appraisal feature in Pokémon Go, where your team leader will tell you your Pokémon’s IVs. The IVs of a Pokémon can be checked by pausing the game, going to Pokémon Boxes, hovering over the Pokémon, and pressing the + Judge button to activate it, or by using the Appraisal feature in Pokémon Go, which provides a detailed analysis of the Pokémon’s stats.

Understanding IVs

IVs are hidden numbers that dictate why one Pokémon has better or worse stats than another of the same species, and they can range from 0 to 31, with 31 being considered perfect.

Checking IVs in Different Pokémon Games

To check IVs in different Pokémon games, you can use various methods, such as the Judge feature in the main series games or the Appraisal feature in Pokémon Go.
