Enter your Pokémon’s stats and other details into the Marriland IV Calculator to determine its IVs.
IV Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the IVs from your Pokémon’s stats.
IV = (Stat - Base Stat - EV / 4) * Nature Modifier / Level
Variables:
- IV is the Individual Value of the Pokémon.
- Stat is the Pokémon’s actual stat.
- Base Stat is the base value for the Pokémon’s species.
- EV is the Effort Value.
- Nature Modifier is the effect of the Pokémon’s nature.
- Level is the Pokémon’s level.
To calculate the IV, you need to consider the Pokémon’s stats, base stats, effort values, nature, and level.
What is IV Calculation?
IV calculation refers to the process of determining a Pokémon’s Individual Values, which affect its stats and performance in battles. Understanding IVs helps trainers optimize their Pokémon for competitive play by selecting the best candidates for training and breeding.
How to Calculate IVs?
The following steps outline how to calculate the IVs using the given formula.
- First, determine your Pokémon’s stats based on its level and effort values.
- Next, determine the Pokémon’s base stats and nature modifier.
- Use the formula from above: IV = (Stat – Base Stat – EV / 4) * Nature Modifier / Level.
- Finally, calculate the IV by plugging in the values.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
