Comprehending IVs

    I am between a rock and a hard place right now. I have been looking for references online about IV's, so but I haven't found any real in depth article about IV's. I know the stats are randomized, but how randomized are they? Do all pokemon have at least one perfect IV? I have the equations to calculate the stats, all I need to do is to find a way to calculate the IV's.

    Code:
    HP Stat = ((IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)) * Level/100) + 10 + Level 
    Other Stats = [((IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)) * Level/100) + 5] * Nature

    IVs are completely randomized, unless through breeding or otherwise specified (as of 6th gen, legendary pokemon you encounter have 3 maxed IVs by default).

    Right, because with breeding one has a chance to get the parents IV's (Mostly the male's).

    Comprehending IVs

    Well minus that one issue.
