Explanation of IV Rank and How to check it

It explains IV Rank which is effective in Trainer Battle (PvP). It shows how to use some our excellent tools for checking IV Rank as well.

What is the IV Rank?

Rankings of the ability to beat opponents

Generally, IV Rank means rankings of the ability to beat opponents in status (=SCP) when you power up a Pokémon that has the IV up to maximum level or maximum CP (eg. 1500CP in Great League).

Especially, rankings of the ability to beat opponents in status is important in Trainer battle (PvP), so it is called PvP Rank of IV as well.

Basis of CP and SCP (Japanese)

Proneness to be superior

Basically, the higher in the Ranking, the higher ability to beat opponent one-on-one.

But in some situations that have limited CP like Great League or Ultra League (*except 100%IV and Lv40 Pokémon is less than limited CP. The same shall apply hereinafter.), the 1st rank IV is not the best for all opponents.

That is why there are various of status balances that depend on IV in situations that have limited CP, there are no IV that all status have maximum at the same time.

It is the big difference between Gym or Raid and PvP.

There are surely exist both opponents that great IV will beat and great IV will not beat but other IV will beat, because of engagement of number, so the 1st rank IV doesn’t have the best result for all opponents.

But it is the order in which there is a high probability of being superior when all conditions are combined, so it can say a ranking of proneness to be superior.

The number of opponents that higher IV rank will be superior to is greater than the number of opponents that lower IV rank will be superior to when assuming an environment that there are various of opponents.

Number of Ranks

IV exists 4096 ways because ATK, DEF, HP, each has 0 to 15 ways, except some Pokémon like Legendary etc.
So IV Rank also has 1st to 4096th (except the same rank. The same shall apply hereinafter).

Pokémon that is not appearing in wild and making special trade like Legendary doesn’t have 0 IV, so IV Rank has 1st to 3375th.

IV Rank that Pokémon that cannot be traded like Mew or Deoxys has 1st to 216th.

Reasons and Tendency of making differences

when there are limited CP

In the case of Pokémon that can be powered up beyond the limit in the CP limited environment, there are the following reasons ① and ② that cause differences in the ability to beat opponents (SCP) by IV, and each shows tendency.

①the difference of evaluation-axis from CP

There is not much difference in the criterion of CP because any IV can be powered up to close the limited CP.

But the evaluation value of CP strongly evaluates the ATK, and does not properly show the ability in PvP with the same value of ATK, DEF and HP.

The CP will be greatly higher if ATK is high, so in order to make higher ability to beat opponents (SCP) in limited CP, Pokémon that race value is close to ATK and that is with high IV of ATK among the same Pokémon are inferior.

Therefore, basically Pokémon that ATK IV is close to 0 and DEF and HP IV is close to 15 have higher ability to beat opponents (SCP).

②Engagement with maximum CP

The effect is small compared to ①, but it also affects how close the CP at the best level is to the upper limit (maximum), and it is superior to make maximum as close as possible.

IV that can be exactly 1500CP and 2500CP may be higher even if IV balance is not good.

Conversely, even with the ideal IV balance of ATK0/DEF15/HP15, if the engagement with maximum CP is bad, it may fall to 100th place.

when there are unlimited CP

100%IV (everything is 15) must be 1st rank when there are unlimited CP or 100%IV and Lv40 Pokémon is less than limited CP.

2nd and lower ranks decrease as the IV is lost (there is the same if the HP actual value does not change), but the status with lower race value is higher in IV, the status with higher base stats is lower in IV, so the order will reflect it.

Since the standard is different from CP, the 2nd and lower ranks are different from the CP order.
