How to check the individual value of Pokemon
In the "Pokemon" series of games, individual values (IVs) are one of the key factors that determine a Pokémon's innate abilities. Many players will pay attention to the pros and cons of individual values when cultivating powerful Pokémon. This article will introduce in detail how to view individual values, and attach relevant data tables to help players better understand this mechanism.
1. What is individual value?

The individual value is the hidden attribute inherent in each Pokémon, ranging from 0 to 31. The higher the value, the stronger the corresponding ability. Individual values are divided into six categories: HP, attack, defense, special attack, special defense and speed. For example, a Pokémon with an attack value of 31 will have significantly higher attack power than its counterpart.
| Ability items | individual value range | influence |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 0-31 | Determines the maximum health of a Pokémon |
| attack | 0-31 | Affects physical attack damage |
| defense | 0-31 | Reduce physical damage taken |
| Special attack | 0-31 | Affects special attack damage |
| Special defense | 0-31 | Reduce special damage taken |
| speed | 0-31 | Decide on the order of action |
2. How to check individual values?
In different versions of the Pokemon game, the methods for viewing individual values are slightly different. Here are a few common ways:
1.Battle tree or battle tower NPC: In "Sun/Moon" and subsequent versions, players can directly evaluate individual values through NPCs in the battle tree. NPCs will use words such as "the best" and "amazing" to describe the level of individual values.
2.individual value calculator: Online tools or APPs (such as Pokémon Showdown) can input Pokémon's level, personality, effort value and other information to calculate the individual value range.
3.In-game features: In "Sword/Shield", after players unlock the "Individual Value Viewing Function", they can directly view the specific values of the six individual values in the Pokémon box.
| game version | View method | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| "Sun/Moon" | Battle tree NPC evaluation | Need to be unlocked before use |
| "Sword/Shield" | Pokémon box displays directly | Need to unlock after clearing the level |
| "Crimson/Purple" | Pokémon Box or NPC Assessment | Some functions need to be unlocked |
3. The relationship between individual values and Pokémon training
Individual values have a significant impact on a Pokémon's combat effectiveness, especially in battle. The following are some points that players need to pay attention to when raising Pokémon:
1.Obtaining high individual value: By hatching eggs or capturing high-star Taijing Group Battle Pokémon, you can obtain Pokémon with high individual values.
2.Matching of individual values and personality: For example, a Pokémon with special attack direction is best matched with a "restrained" personality (+ special attack - attack) and a special attack individual value of 31.
3.extreme training: In "Sword/Shield" and "Vermillion/Purple", players can increase their personal value to 31 through the "Crown" prop.
4. Summary
Individual values are one of the core elements of Pokémon training. Players can check individual values through in-game functions or external tools, and adjust the training direction according to needs. Pokémon with high stats have an advantage in battle, so it's important to know how to check and increase their stats.
