Perfect IV
Is getting the perfect IV's on a pokemon really that important in competitive battling? When i was breeding snorlax's all i was really looking for was female's with a careful nature, then i started EV training. Is that good enough?
|
Not perfect IV's bet getting well IV's all round is good enough.

Iv's really save your team in a bad situtaion example 2 Salmence
IV's 31)Salamence 1 uses hydro pump! Opponent has 0 Hp left IV's 22)Salmence 2 uses hydro pump! Opponent has 5 Hp Left Next Turn Opponent Kills Salmence |
How can you tell if you have IV flawless, or otherwise?

Let's say your Snorlax has a 0 HP IV. That means it can have a max of 430 HP without EVs. But if it has a perfect 31 HP IV, It can have a max of 461 HP without any EVs.
So yes, an extra 31 to each stat does help quite a bit. |
i noticed metal kids iv calc made u record ur pokemon's stats and ev's at each lvl until 10. is that necessary in getting the flawless iv's?
|
It's necessary for an accurate calculation.

Yes, good IVs are extremely important in competitive battling. Good IVs can have an almost as big- or bigger impact on stats as Natures can. I was too lazy to breed my Primeape for perfect Attack (it only has an IV of 28 it in it) and thanks to that it has left many Pokémon with just 1 HP; something those 3 extra Attack points could have taken care of. Usually you'll want to aim for 29 - 31 in the 3 most important stats (for example Attack, Speed and HP for Garchomp) and around 20 and up in the less important stats. For completely useless stats (such as Attack for Blissey) the IVs don't really matter, but anything that could make a difference should be high-ish.

Lemme ask something. My Pichu has these IV's in the stats I care about:
Speed:26 SP.A:22 SP.D:23 I shoud re breed, right? |

But, if i were you, i would re-bread again! Just keep going for good ones, the closest to 31 as you can go! Keep going mate! |
Ugh. Fine, fine. I had one with perfect speed IV's, but poor sp.atk/sp.def. All that speed, wasted.
|
Eh. Pikachu needs 31 Speed IV just because of it's mediocre speed. Mine has a 31 Speed and 29 Sp. Atk.
Unless you're shooting for a Raichu, but either way I'd rebreed. I normally shoot for 1-2 Perfect IVs. |
Yeah, Raichu's my fav. So I got some major breeding to do. How do I manipulate IV?
|
My Swampert has crap IVs yet he destroyed many a team. I was rushing. D: Sad thing is, I cant re-breed because mudkip cant learn avalanche.
|
Just get parents with 31 IVs. Breeding takes 1 random IV from the father, and a random IV from the father. If you're lucky enough it'll grab both 31 IVs. The rest are completely random though.
|
You put father twice. But I get what you're saying. The Chu I got in breeding has perfect speed IV's.
|
Speed is the only thing you need to be absolutely perfect, since it's not used in multiplication like other stats (lol Gyro Ball) but instead it's simply 'which is the greater number'. Generally, the lower the stat (Hp/SDef/Def), the more important the IV is. Perfect Attk on Rhyperior isn't that much better than 26 IV, but perfect SDef can make all the difference.
|
Yea, I'm tired. Meant to be mother for the second one. Lol.
