INDIVIVUAL VALUES AND HIDDEN POWER
Individual Values, or IVs for short are numbers, from 0 to 31, given to each
and every Pokemon when you first encounter it. This determines what your
Pokemon's stats are. For instance you see how two Pokemon, even if they have
the same Nature, have some different stats? That's IVs. I am NOT good at
calculating them, so please don't ask. there is another way, though. In
Diamond and Pearl, you can tell what stat has the highest IV on each Pokemon
by looking at its' Summary See the line at the bottom of the screen where
its' Nature is shown? the "Loves to Eat," "Somewhat vain" "Likes to thrash
about." That's the Stat with the highest IV. Here is the chart, from highest
to lowest, of all the sayings.
