Iv Calculator Pokémon Go

Authored by David Chen, Game Data Analyst: This IV calculator uses the latest verified Pokémon GO formulas and CP Multiplier data for precise results, ensuring high accuracy for serious trainers.

The **Pokémon GO IV Calculator** is an essential tool for serious trainers to determine the hidden Individual Values (IVs) of their Pokémon. IVs range from 0 to 15 for Attack, Defense, and Stamina, profoundly affecting a Pokémon’s maximum CP and performance in PvP and raids.

Pokémon GO IV Formula:

CP = FLOOR( (BaseAtt + IV_Att) * SQRT(BaseDef + IV_Def) * SQRT(BaseSta + IV_Sta) * CP_Multiplier² / 10 )
HP = FLOOR( (BaseSta + IV_Sta) * CP_Multiplier )

Variables Explained:

  • Current CP/HP: The Combat Power and Hit Points displayed on your Pokémon’s summary screen.
  • Current Pokémon Level: The Pokémon’s level, which is a value between 1 and 50 in increments of 0.5. This determines the $CP\_Multiplier$ (CPM).
  • Base Attack/Defense/Stamina: These are the base stats for the specific Pokémon species, which are universal and must be looked up in a third-party resource.
  • IVs (Individual Values): The hidden values (0-15) for Attack, Defense, and Stamina that the calculator solves for.
  • $CP\_Multiplier$: A value determined by the Pokémon’s level, which scales its stats.

What is IV Calculator Pokémon GO?

Individual Values (IVs) in Pokémon GO are three hidden numerical stats—Attack (ATK), Defense (DEF), and Stamina (STA)—that are added to a Pokémon’s base stats. Each IV ranges from 0 (worst) to 15 (best). The higher the IVs, the greater the potential power of the Pokémon. A “perfect” Pokémon is referred to as a “hundo” (100%) and has 15/15/15 IVs.

The IV Calculator works by reversing the game’s CP and HP formulas. Because the formulas use a “floor” function (rounding down), a single combination of CP/HP/Level might correspond to multiple possible IV combinations (a range of possibilities). Our tool systematically checks all 4,096 possible IV permutations (16 Attack x 16 Defense x 16 Stamina) against your inputs to find the precise possibilities.

Accuracy is paramount in IV calculation. The result is highly sensitive to the Pokémon’s exact Level, which is determined by the arc above the Pokémon and its Stardust power-up cost. Therefore, accurately inputting the Pokémon’s Level is the most crucial step for achieving a single, precise IV set.

How to Calculate IV Pokémon GO (Example)

  1. Find the Pokémon’s Base Stats: Determine the species of your Pokémon and look up its immutable Base Attack, Base Defense, and Base Stamina values from a reliable database.
  2. Record Current Stats: Note down the Pokémon’s current CP (Combat Power) and HP (Hit Points) from the game.
  3. Determine the Level: Estimate or accurately find the Pokémon’s current Level (e.g., 25.5). This is key, as it provides the $CP\_Multiplier$ used in the formula.
  4. Iterate IVs: The calculator then iterates through every possible IV combination (0/0/0 through 15/15/15).
  5. Match Results: For each IV set, the calculator plugs the values into the CP and HP formulas and checks if the calculated output matches the observed CP and HP.
  6. Display Matches: All matching IV sets are presented as the possible results for your Pokémon.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does the calculator sometimes show a range of IVs instead of just one?

This happens because the official CP and HP formulas use a FLOOR function (rounding down). This rounding means that several different IV combinations can result in the same final, rounded CP or HP value at a specific level, creating an “IV range” until more data (like a power-up) is provided.

Is a 100% IV Pokémon always the strongest?

While 100% IVs (15/15/15) give the Pokémon the highest possible CP for its species and level, the “strongest” Pokémon depends on context. In the Master League (PvP), 100% IVs are generally best. However, for the Great and Ultra Leagues, specific low-Attack IV combinations are often preferred to maximize the stat product below the CP limit.

What is the maximum IV value?

The maximum Individual Value for Attack, Defense, and Stamina is 15. Since there are three IV stats, the maximum total IV is 45/45.

How do IVs affect my Pokémon’s stats?

IVs are added directly to the Pokémon’s Base Stats before the Level Multiplier is applied. An IV of 15 means your Pokémon receives an additional 15 points to that stat (e.g., Attack), significantly contributing to its total power and potential CP.
