What are the odds of finding a 6IV Pokemon in the wild?
The odds of finding a 6IV Pokemon in the wild are approximately 1/96, considering the best possible scenario, while the overall chance of catching a shiny Pokemon with six perfect IVs, the ideal nature, and the right ability is about 1 in 2 quadrillion (2.24 x 10-15). To break it down further, the chance of getting a 6IV Pokemon with the correct nature is 1/96, and when combined with the odds of getting a shiny Pokemon, which is 1/4096, the overall probability becomes 1/393,216.
Understanding IVs and Their Significance
To grasp the rarity of finding a 6IV Pokemon, it’s essential to understand what IVs (Individual Values) are and how they are determined. IVs are hidden stats that affect a Pokemon’s overall performance in battles, and they can range from 0 to 31 for each of the six stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. A 6IV Pokemon has all its stats at the maximum value of 31, making it extremely rare and valuable.
Factors Affecting IVs
Several factors can influence the IVs of a Pokemon, including its parents’ IVs (in the case of breeding), random chance, and external factors like Weather Boosts. For instance, a Weather Boosted wild catch increases the odds of getting higher IVs from 1 in 4,096 to 1 in 1,728.
