Corrections and Clarifications: 1. People have pointed out that I pronounced "Groudon" incorrectly. It's Growd-on ("Growd" rhymes with "Crowd" and sounds like the beginning of "Ground"), not "Groodon" like I said. This is because I'm Canadian. It's an "about"/"aboot" situation, eh? Just kidding. I misspoke, because "Groodon" is how I originally thought it was said when I first saw the word, but I do actually know how it's pronounced, as evidenced by its correct pronunciation in this video from 7 months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGXIc3uXrr-cnMU 2. Many people have commented that it's more common to say "Nundo" for a 0-IVs Pokemon and that they've never heard "Zundo" before. You're probably correct that "Nundo" is the more common term, and I actually have it written in the video at 03:48. In my defense if you google "Zundo Pokemon Go" there are a bunch of people who say this so I didn't just make it up. 3. People have pointed out that I called a Pokemon missing 3 IVs a "94%", when it's actually closer to a 93% because 42/45 = 0.933... That's true, but lots of people including me use the shorthand of 2% per IV despite the math because it's easier to remember. e.g. missing 6 IVs = 88%, even though this isn't mathematically accurate. It's all trash so who cares anyway, right? 4. People are saying that IVs do matter in things like mirror matchups in PVP. This is true. I did somewhat acknowledge this in the video at the end - if you're micro-optimizing for trainer battles then you want specific IVs.

The 2% calculation is kind-of wrong but not really. It's not 1/45. It's 1/48. IV goes from [0, 15] including both 0 and 15. So it's technically 16 possible values.

He missed a huge part at the end. He stated they only change about 6% different, but it's about 6% for every actions. So, less health, less dps, and more damaged taken, at 6% for each iv that's low it 100% compounds into it clearly being our performed by higher level iv Pokémon of the same species, in every breakpoint your 100 will out perform even a 10 10 10. There will be small differences in some match ups, and large differences in others. They matter. (Just not enough for you to hate yourself if you get a 12 15 14, it's really good enough in most cases, you just level it to 40 and save xl for when you get a 100)

Great video, I'll be sure to link it to anyone trying to convince me that 94%s are practically useless and that IVs are more than just an indicator of conventional rarity/value (in the vast majority of areas of the game at least). To be less neutral, I think the commonly accepted notion of IVs being much more important than they are has a negative impact on a lot of players' experience with the game, especially new or more casual ones, think about how many of them are being told that their shiny legendary, that they must've been ecstatic to get, is actually trash because it's not a 3 star. I think making more people aware of this would be beneficial to the player base as a whole

Its a good video showing the statistical breakdown of IVs as they relate to raids and gym battles but i think you can summarize the discussion with IVs matter very little for PVE. For PVP however, they can be very significant which is basically glossed over. If you dont have a hundo or functional hundo or close in master league you are at an inherent disadvantage, especially in mirror matchups. Different IV spreads are helpful for certain matchups in GL and UL as well, even more than just low attack, high def, high stamina. Which is why we see things like the mirror medicham slayer that used "less than perfect" pvp ivs but had utility in winning a common matchup.

Having Pokemon with high IVs in Pvp is extremely important. Having a small lead in dps in a fight between the same Pokemon is a win decider sometimes, and if 2 mons have the same "speed", and use their charged attacks at the same time, the one with higher attack ends up attacking first

The reasoning for powering up good IV pokemón for me is because is literally the optimal investment, if I play master league, I would Lose cmp ties if I have less attack, if there are some solo Raid challenges, they do the calculations with optimal counters, so being an optimal complete all around trainer requires you to be optimal, I personally don't focus on only having 100% but since im a long time player, I already have the hundos or 98% that I need covered type wise so there is another reason for me not to invest in lower Iv pokémon, it really hurt this gigamax release when I had to power up lower iv dinamax and then lower iv gigamax in order to defeat them, but the damage was so noticable that I had to do it in order to support my community and myself.

I think the point of the video was that is much more iportant which species of pokemon you bring, than the IVs. Given the choice of a 6/6/6 shadow Groudon, a 12/13/14 Groudon, a 15/14/14 Excadril, or a 15/15/15 Dugtrio for a Mteagross raid; which do you bring? If they are powered up to the same level, the heaviest hitter would be the one with the worst (of those 4) IVs. I don't think he tried to make the point that IVs don't matter. My take away was that IVs don't matter *much* in most scenarios.

@revblade just making sure to mention that Im referring to my personal opinion, Im talking about my collection and believe me I don't need shadow groudon since I have a hundo lvl 50 best buddy primal groudon, for me shadow groudon and shadows in general usually have horrible IVs giving me even less of an incentive for me to power them up, for my case there wouldn't be a reason to power up something sub par when I don't really need it, im sharing my perspective as a long time 2016 player, but yeah newer players or players that constantly grind and like to power up stuff alot can definitely benefit from the info on this video, its very educational and is always nice to refresh our knowledge in this area, to share with the community.

One large reason. Is breakpoints. There can be a large difference in fast attack damage depending on your ivs. I'm not going to fully explain. Look it up if your curious. (It's something to do with the calculations being something similar to Gameboy games) Think extreme - a fast attack that normally does 3 damage could be rounded up to 4 damage - resulting in a 33% difference. And in pvp - especially master league. You having only 14 attack or 14 defense could make that large difference. Raids - max attack ivs have always been the most important, (If you didn't have a 100%), to power up a potential raid attacker.

No, I can never say I'd ignore IVs after some of the battles I've been in. I bet even the reason they award both sides losses for double-KOs is so nobody ignore their precious IVs. Also don't forget CMP ties, where the first person to throw their charge move in a tie is who has the higher attack. Again, this is for mirror matches. Base attack on all Pokémon are different but if you lead off Gatr vs Gatr, that exact IV is going to decide the charge move priority.

How much of a difference is there in stats and output given the format (raid, dynamax, GBL) and investment of XL Candy? Is my level 30 good enough or with diminished returns maybe the key level is really level 40 or 45?

It doesnt matter if its a big difference or not. I dont want to spend a bunch of bonbons and stardust on a 15/13/13 only to find a hundo later and be frustrated I "wasted" all those ressources.

I don't care about getting 100 ivs. They are nice bonus gravy, but in my experience there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. so if I need to use a pokemon for a raid or dmax raid I will power up a not good one if that is all I have. For example I did a bunch of dmax raids and swapped them to get luckys of each dmax pokemon and even though some didn't have the best ivs I still powered up those luckys to use as my base team till I can get good ones.

In reality if you arent Max level and you dont care about pvp, Pokemons level is much more important than their IV. You can have a hundo lvl 3 that could take 400k stardust to get near the power of a lvl 39 pokemon. IV is a pure gimmick to try make them deel more 'unique'. The same way they are now focusing on weight and height to try water down the game more.

this sort of thing is i think going to be most relevant in mirror matches and even then it is going to really vary depending on the breakpoints of the attacks and charge moves. I think the strategy of winning the shield game/RPS element of Go league can overcome any differences in IVs. Put simply, I think being good at the game will beat having perfect pokemon in most scenarios, so until you get to the highest ranks its not going to matter that much.

It really isn't about the performance for me. The minimal amount in damage means nothing. I treat my Pokemon collection like Pokemon cards. I want them to be the very best they can be (CP wise) and I want them to be in mint condition. A hundo is mint condition. Anything less is a slight flaw. 99.9% of time your Pokemon is sitting in your possession. It's not a ton on battling. My maxed out level 50 hundo Miltank? Never used it. My maxed out level 50 Passimian? Never used it. Don't really care if a shadow variant does more damage.

I guess if you’re into Master league, then Hundos are an absolute necessity. If there’s a mirror battle between a hundo Dragonite & and 98% (15/15/14 or 15/14/15 or 14/15/15) Dragonite then the hundo will always win CMP against the 98%er. As far as Shadow Pokemon go: I do like to be conservative with my stardust so my rule is “anything that is 96% & above get maxed to 40, hundos are an immediate level 50 however

3:31 why don't people just call those three examples a 44, a 43, and a 42 - respectively? Converting to a percentage seems so unnecessary because it's always out of 45, not 100 or even some other unreasonably large number (like the main series' IV total of 186) where using a percentage would make sense. Just say how many IVs the Pokémon has - there's no need for an extra step calculating the percentage just to artificially inflate the number :/ Edit: this bugs me so much because the whole point of a percent is to convert hard to visualize scales to something more understandable/coherent - an even hundred. But 45 is plenty understandable, so it's a waste of everyone's time :/

I thought they would make a bigger difference, maybe somewhere around 10% between a hundo and nundo, before watching this video. Well, thanks for clarifying. I think obsessing over getting perfect/near-perfect stats can really limit the enjoyment people get out of this game, seeing how hard you have to work and how much money you have to spend if you're dead set on them

@@andrew3404 it's 93.3%. When rounded it's 93%. So 93 is correct where as 94 is wrong.
