What is a Perfect IV in Pokemon Stats?
A perfect IV in Pokémon stats refers to a value of 31 in all stats’ IVs at the same time, meaning that a Pokémon has the highest possible Individual Values (IVs) for each of its stats, resulting in maximum stat growth when the Pokémon reaches level 100. This is considered the ideal IV for a Pokémon, as it allows the Pokémon to reach its full potential and perform optimally in battles.
Understanding IVs and Their Importance
IVs are hidden stats that range from 0 to 31 for each stat, and they determine how much a Pokémon’s stats will grow when it reaches level 100. A 100% IV Pokémon has an IV of 15 for each stat, which translates to a maximum stat value of 45.
