Individual Value Services

[BugCatcher6]

I knew that title would draw you in. This thread is to talk about your latest great IV bred Pokémon. I know not many people breed for IVs and I hope this thread will change that.

Some terms to know

IV = Individual Value: Every stat your Pokémon has is made up by this number. IVs range from 0-31. 31 being the highest and 0 the lowest value.

RNG = Random Number Generated: Whenever an egg is created the Pokémon inside is assigned 6 random IVs. It then goes threw the process of having 3 of those IVs replaced by 3 IVs from the parents. Only 3 IVs will pass from the parents and it can be 2 from the mother and 1 from the father, 2 from the father and 1 from the mother, and even all 3 from one parent. It can also look like at times that less then 3 IVs were passed down, this is due to the fact that sometimes the same stat IV can be selected as the IV to be passed down.

IV Battles: IV battles are battles that just check your Pokémon's stats. You basicly select a Wi-Fi battle at level 100 and then you go to your Pokémon's summary page and write down the stats. After you record all the stats for your Pokémon, you just run from the battle.

IV Calculator: This is what you will use to find your IVs. First you select your Pokémon and it's Nature. Then you input the level(which should always be 100 if you did an IV battle) and then input the stats you wrote down for that Pokémon. Hit calculate and there are your IVs along with that Pokémon's Hidden Power. Also important is to input EVs into the calculator, but since you should be checking fresh hatched Pokémon, the EVs should be 0.

EV = Effort Values: Basicly every time you fight a Pokémon you gain some type of EV. Every 4 EVs equal 1 stat point. You can only put 510 EVs on a single Pokémon and can only put 255 EVs into one stat. Since it takes 4 EVs to make one stat point, the most you would want to put into one stat would 252 EVs. Also using Vitamins like Iron will give 10 EVs for every Vitamin the Pokémon eats. With a maximum per stat of 10 Vitamins. Also if you gain EVs before eating Vitamins you cannot go past 100 EVs, so if you EVd to say 80, you could only eat 2 Vitamins then. There is a maximum of 51 Vitamins that can be given to a single Pokémon, but that would equal 510 EVs.

You can find what EVs every Pokémon gives, as well as an IV Calculator at these two sites.

1. www.serebii.com
2. My site: Rcade

There are other sites as well. If you find a site that has EV listings or IV calculators, let me know and I can add them to this list.

I'll start the show. My current breeding project is Smeargle. I am building him to help build my Gym Team. Since my Gym is open, I need to cut time in the breeding process, so I thought hey why not a Smeargle.

I will be listing IVs by this order

HP / ATK / DEF / SP. ATK / SP. DEF / SPD

My Top Tier Females: 6 I kept from this build.

• S13: 24 / 30 / 30 / 30 / 7 / 17
• S17: 2 / 31 / 18 / 0 / 8 / 17
• S19: 7 / 30 / 5 / 18 / 18 / 17
• S20: 11 / 30 / 30 / 31 /15 / 17
• S22: 24 / 30 / 9 / 11 / 31 / 17
• S30: 18 / 30 / 30 / 28 / 4 / 21

Those Smeargle are just from the first round of breeding. RNG was very kind to me. I don't know what the IVs were on the father Smeargle, I got him in a trade and have not got to IV test him yet. The acting mother was My Careful Ditto named Stand, its IVs look like this. I know 2 only had 1 IV of 30 or 31, but they will still help my next round of breeding. I plan on trying to get Jolly Natures and add 30 Speed IVs.



Stand's IV

0 / 30 / 30 / 19 / 24 / 17

I am going to add Natures in on the next round of breeding. I will update the cycle when I finish the breeding.

My last project I had a modest Chinchou with

25/29/29/31/31/28

I was able to get 3 chins with 31s in the stats I targeted,Def/SpA/SpD, but their others were only in the low 20s.

My first class assignment was my best IV build so far...but I'm still learning.

That is a beast of a Hippopotas. I love it when the RNG works in the breeders favor.

I got up and jumped around the room scaring my son awake and I just had to post this here. Been playing around with a possible Anorith for my next farming event. I had good parents and all but check this Beast with a capitol B out. He's got it where it really counts!!

Adamant

HP/Att/Def/SpA/SpD/Speed
31 31 31 31 23 26

I just wish that SpA and SpD had been swapped but heck, I'll take this!!

I just had to say that is a BEAST of a Pokemon. I have never received that kinda RNG role since I have been breeding.

[Dr. Narnad]

And not only that but Hidden power is a sweet Ice type with power of 70! So thats pretty usefully. Dang, this makes me too excited to sleep now!
