[@lisakulp4639]

Thank you for this thoughtful and long term commitment to bring new players through the ranks. I'm the wrong generation. Too old for Gameboy and never did play a computer game. I find Pokémon a positive surprise. It requires relatively few resources for people in urban areas, encourages people to talk to each other and living in the Philippines which is very hierarchical Pokémon is a great resource leveler. There's a lot to learn and your broken it down into easy to digest videos. Well sometimes I have to watch a few times and I'm happy with my progress. Thank you for bringing something outside of my eclxperience into my reach.

[@novusstream]

This was the first Trainer Tips video I watched and I've been hooked ever since. I'll never forget how I felt about the editing on this video. I thought it was so neat and explained everything very clearly. Thanks to this video I could answer other trainers questions about IVs and link them to this video for more help.

I've watched this video 3 times and I still don't get IV's

[@timothydrummond3097]

When you appraise it, you get the stars and the bars of attack, defense and stamina. Each of those bars are split into three sections. So for each category (attack, defense and stamina) the full bar equals that 15 number he mentioned. If it's not full then it falls along that scale. You can estimate it. If only the first section is full thats 5. If two sections are full it's 10 and all three full it's 15.

[@TheJanusis]

I remember watching this video when it came out and not really fully comprehending all of it. Plus the game was so new I wasn't hugely concerned with anything besides filling up the pokedex and finding the highest cp's. Now that I watch it again, when stats have become everything, it was hugely informative and I fully understand it now. Thank you for your intelligent and comprehensive videos. I have watched since day one and always look forward to your new content. Keep up the good work!

[@Abzy886]

06/07/2020 I only played Pokemon Go for like the first month or two and quit because it wasn't in the original Game Freak style format and evolving my squirtle changed my warturtle with a bad moveset. I started watching Pokemon so wanted a game on my phone, so started back at the start of this month. This video is SOOO USEFUL. Thank you, because i have been transferring Pokemon without even looking at the IV and wondering why i wasn't doing good. I understand now that ideally u need the correct moveset and high IV stats, and the CP should fall into place...right? So if i change a less dps move of a Pokemon to a high dps move using a TM, would the IV stats of the Pokemon change?

My question is should I evolve or continue power up a Pokemon. Example I have a Pokemon with CP 510 and poke advisor shows 100%IV dust is at 1900 for 2 candy should I evolve or power up to max and then evolve? I'm confused on when to evolve my Pokemon. Does power up change Pokemon's IV?

[@lunch7213]

both have the same result. If you evolved it now, the positioning on the arc scale would not change. If its in the middle now (50% CP potential as I like to think of it), then it'd still be at 50% when you evolve it. The amount of CP it gains also wouldn't change for if you were to max then evolve. So only evolve if you truly want to and its a strong pokemon in every field. IV, arc scale, you're already a strong level

[@gr8gzu65]

Thanks for the info. Now I understand Trainer Nick says the same thing during 2:24 in video. You helped me focus on his explanation.

Always appreciate it when someone puts legitimate work into a video as conceptually simple as this one

[@TuLongDao]

is it better to keep a high cp pokemon with low iv stats for a low cp pokemon with high iv stats like said a 500 CP pokemon but only 30% perfection vs a 100 CP pokemon but with 90% perfection?

[@trnrtips]

High IV pokemon will end up giving you a higher CP pokemon once you power it up.

[@TuLongDao]

i understand that, but i was wondering is it worth the stardust and candy cost of leveling up the lower cp pokemon, won't it cost you much more star dust and candies just to level up to be the same cp as the

[@trnrtips]

It is ultimately up to you, but you can always have a chance of finding a higher cp pokemon with perfect stats and a perfect move set. It is up to you to wait or go for it.
