[@sigisoltau6073]

My advice. Just leave pvp. Is it worth it? Hell no. For me the start of this season was great with near constant wins. Now it's constant losses. Doesn't matter what team combo I use I always end up loosing. That's the thing about pvp. Every win must be balanced out by a loss. If you won 5 matches in one set you must lose 5 matches in the next set. That's what has been happening with me for a while now. I would win 5 matches in one set then lose 5 matches in the very next set. I'm done with this crap.

[@ritsuku1455]

Coming from an extensive background of tabletop gaming, you hear the phrase "you only needed to do 1 point of dmg" so often. Those extra points add up over time and are worth seeking out the breakpoints you need. It's not vital in normal rankings since you can 1 win grind your way to r20, but it could be what pushes you rating higher. Most players either don't care about them, or don't know(some believe hard-core that using any info outside of the app is cheating). Great breakdown Dax. Hope this helps people understand the concept better.

[@MonachusRex]

this is only for harcore pvp guys. We run like thousands of sims just to find these and optimize our resources. good content. ONE thing, Rank 1 ivs dont maximize bulk. They maximize total stats. That means there are more defense weighted IV spreads than Rank 1

Great video Daxi! Very happy to see you making more pvp focused content and thus providing people more knowledge on the topic! If I had no add something it would be to precise something you said. The rank 1 isn't the most defensive option of a mon, yes it is the bulkiest overall, but in pvpoke you can actually maximize a pokemon regarding its defense, and it wont be the rank 1. So just wanted to say that despise it being very accurate, we could be even more when calculating the breakpoint!

[@Raenelly7]

[@acedanganan6625]

[@Pamijay]

Im glad you made a video about this. A lot of creators, even in the pvp scene, don't bring up the importance of breakpoints or even winning cmp ties when it comes to IVs so this is a pretty necessary video.

[@Pamijay]

One tip I will give is that at the bottom of the list of pokemon on the right side, you can select to maximize the stat product (IVs) of all the pokemon you are simulating against. That will give you more common breakpoints that your pokemon might hit

[@Nerivean]

Even though it is a very interesting topic having to do all this resesearch manually is very time and energy consuming. There should be an app or website (like stadium) in which whenever you put the IVs of your pokemon it should tell you what breakpoints/bulkpoints are available for that IV set.

I think there might be. I'll investigate

[@eddieeeok]

Thanks so much!

[@omnizoom]

the biggest reason i can see going for bulk points over break points is its the information you hold. I can know if i have the bulk that i can assure myself i have the bulk point i want generally , meanwhile if i run the risk of high attack break points then i could be vs something with higher def then expected, in the sable example it assumes the lapras your fighting is using optimal iv, if someones using a lapras with some attack IV then you just got played and will end up losing the match up. Very few pokemon do i think this would be valid for is like defence deoxys, its defence is so absurdly high that losing 6-7 def for some more attack works wonders but for many pokemon the risk of losing 20-30 more matchups to win 7-8 more is just not worth it plus i think shadows are a better option for this idea of beating breakpoints which leads to spice picks that honestly sometimes perform better (machamp)

[@devmishra6552]

Yup, we want more of these

[@IAmGeeSnap]

heck yeah id dig more tips explained in more detail :@)

[@starscream7755]

Breakpoints seem more niche and only useful in specific matchups where as bulk is always useful regardless of the matchups. Unless your an ultra tier sweat doesn’t seem like it’s worth it.

[@velo_GG]

yeah, dont even know ur opponents setup. id rather have consistent bulk than a random chance to hit harder

[@thefaller01]

It will always be situational and depends on what people actually think when doing their plays. For example going for what you said, which is pretty general (don't take it negatively) for the active pvp player, you can easily assume that every top meta community day pokemon that you will find in pvp will be at least top 50-70 rank. Easy example: walrein. If you want to be ahead of the curve, you'll want a walrein which will have an atk stat which can beat cmp on those rank 50-70 or better walreins. Having a rank 1 walrein will actually do more harm than good since a meta around walreins, if you face an opponent walrein you either switch or lose lead and those could be common occurences. By having a rank 150 or even a rank 200 you put yourself in a situation that you'll be able to beat the general active playerbase that thinks "bulk = better", which isn't a wrong mentality, mind you, but easily exploitable. This babbling i did actually doesn't mention bulk or breakpoints now that i read it a second time, but ill leave it as food for thought and give you another example which i use: medicham. I'm using an xl one but rank 80 or smth. It loses like 3 or 4 hp and some def, who could make some difference on some matchups (when 3-4 hp could make a difference but they are rare), however i get to have a breakpoint vs skarmories who have lower def than normal (even if they have good rank). in a straightup battle like you usually see on pvpoke, my medicham still loses that fight with or without the breakpoint, however the difference of hp left on skarmory goes from "safe matchup" to "almost lost it". This means in certain situations, i can actually come with my medicham and actually get wins or farm advantage because of how punishing counter can be. This is stuff which obviously is situatinal, but its up to you to understand if you rather have absolute bulk and be predictable to homever may be tryharding the game, or try to fish some matchups who depending on the meta may or may not payoff. Or just watch swagtips and he'll do it for you ;)

[@velo_GG]

@@thefaller01 exactly, ur assuming they have a rank 50-70 and ur 200 will have advantage. so you make decisions based on that, but then they also have a rank 200 it changes. ig its statistically more likely that people choose top ranked mons and over the long term you would have an edge. the general bulky mon would also work in different metas. but ig if ur loaded with dust and want top legend everytime break out the microscope lol

[@starscream7755]

@@thefaller01 I'm just here for the legendary encounters but if you're going for legend and seeing the same 5 teams time after time I see how it could be worth looking into I suppose.

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

Breakpoints mostly matter for important mirrors. Sometimes it's worth building a secondary version of a cheap Pokemon like Machamp or g stunfisk as a way to guarantee the mirror or a specific counter.

[@SBGames8]

You can either take the "Stat Product" or "Breakpoint/Bulkpoint" approach to keeping certain PvP IVs. Stat Product basically ensures the most bulk where you can cover your bases to best average performance across all matchups. Breakpoint/Bulkpoint is for specific matchups and mirror match. Personally, I always try to have one of each mon as close to rank 1 as possible. Then I will have backup IV distributions, on popular meta mons, for specific matchups depending on how common certain mons are in specific metas. Rank 1 may be best in ope format, but attack weighted may be best in restricted formats.

[@RELAX120.]

Ty for the info

[@TheAngryBrave]

I've given up on trying to find ideal IVs for Battle League lol. I just go by who I can power up closest to the CP cutoff.

[@jossuecabrera8611]

maybe break point and bulk point options should be a quick option in pvpoke. maybe start ranking pokemon based on their break points?

[@garcia-buckner7702]

Just to be clear this breakpoint bulk point concept is only applicable to single matchups? So if I want to gfisk killer in a single Mon, I'm looking for the recommended iv set?

Wow. So my shiny sunglasses blastoise is 15/3/1, and I have always been kinda upset bc it’s basically the opposite of “pvp IVs” but now I’m very happy to hear this about attack weight considering water gun is a 1 turn fast move.

[@SimpleGamer14]

nice

You'd have a look at it specifically. Usually breakpoints you don't need 15 attack. Usually just a couple more attack stats is good enough to hit breakpoints. At that point your sacrificing too much bulk

[@Pamijay]

Breakpoints are generally not too common to recommend a 15 attack stat with no bulk. I'd still recommend that you stick to a higher stat product blastoise.

THANKS DAXI

[@Weav576]

I just began to get more into PVP for about a month so far and now i can say that I now fully understand how it works. As having a 0 attack iv with 15 in both attack and stanima, would make that mon at a higher lvl at 1500 or 2500 vs one thats a hundo, since the lack of attavk woulf require more lvl ups to get to 1500 and or 2500, thus the higher lvl and defenses, overall makes that pokemon much bulkier and better. I also have pokegenie ans just realised i had a shadow salamence amd tyranitar that were perfect for great league as pokegenie said that they was 99. something% in rank meaning there woulf be only a less than a 1% chance to find the same one with same ivs. My shadow salemence has 4, 15, 15 and powered up to cp 1495 and tyranotar is about 0, 13, 13 and powered up to cp 1486. Both were 99% in rank as stated in pokegenie. One excpetion that i see to the 0 attack is my 2 talonflames from comday. One is 14,15,14 and the other is 14,14,15, both are 96% almost the same just very small in difference, as one reaches 1499 and the other reaches 1500 for great league. However today I found out that they are both most ideal for ultra league and both are most optimal at 99% something in rank. This is because talonflame reaches close to 2500 when maxed out at lvl 50, and because they would have to be maxed out for ultra league, this is how i can see the 0 attack would not be ideal since obvioulsy being maxxed out makes the most of them and i beilbe the most ideal would be a hundo talonflame. Which is makes sense as master league mons 0 attack is not ideal.

[@dannymoontattoos]

What about perfect Pokemon or close to perfect? Do they get both break and bulk points ?

[@luchulainn]

Pretty sure you read the matchups wrong in the breakpoints vs pvp IVS between Sableye and Lapras. On Pvpoke, the white star indicates a win for the Pokémon in the row, not the column. So at 12:38, the more attack weighted Sable will win, and that’s generally the case for higher damage fast moves in more shield scenarios. A Pokémon with less bulk in 0 shield scenarios will perform worse because it can’t take charged moves as well.

[@DRC92]

I cannot find the answer to this. Should you use PVP IVs for Gym Defending Pokémon? As in a Pokémon you place in a gym?

[@alexanderlane7863]

I think generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is to always aim to get as close to the CP cap as possible, and aim for pvp ivs.

In ML its always better to aim for hundo stats because its the maximum limit for a pokemon's potential, breakpoints are for mons that has almost hundo stats. Better yet, breakpoints are best applicable with other leagues because it can fluctuate the final overall performance of certain pokemon's against the more meta or known stats

More video about this topic

[@ianoleary8122]

It’s seems way too specific to hope you get the matchup in gbl that you set it all up for. I think my biggest takeaway is that you don’t have to worry about finding the perfect 0/15/15 so much since a little extra attack may end up rounding up a damage point sometimes. Interesting to understand the mechanics though, like seeing these types of videos.

Well in generally there is one attack stat that hits mutliple mons. Say you need a attack of 121 for drapion, attack of 119 for azu, attack of 115 for deoxys & attack of 122 for jellicent breakpoints. Just make sure you hit a attack of 122 and you hit them all.

[@ianoleary8122]

I guess that simplifies it a bit since it works against multiple common matchups. The rank 1 pvp ivs and breakpoint ivs would be good additions to spotlight and comm day videos so people have something else they know to hunt for, like when you list the hundo cp. I have an iPhone so the poke genie scanner doesn’t really work for me to sort thru all my pvp ivs.

[@cypher7523]

This info is all well and good. But you cant IV train in go. So outside of just grinding and grinding how can you get a pokemon with the perfect iv break point? Surely its just random? I get it if your going for worlds or too rank league but so much effort and grind for something you could never find due to rng? If this was vgc training ivs is easy. I mean to ask, you cant make any of this happen right? You just finding out what the iv spread you want is, then just pray and hope you find one within the year?

[@LuxionXB]

What i like about dragon breath is the fastness of the move itself. It offers maneuverability, gives you more time to respond and makes moves harder to catch for the opponent

Both are good. Dragon tail might be slightly better but also dragon breath being a 1 turn move allows you move around quicker and get stuck less in fast moves

There is also this bug where you can K.O. a pokemon with a loaded move with a 1 turn fastmove like DB before it can throw it's move. But when all lags should be gone dragon tail is the way to go

[@Pamijay]

I think if you're playing at a lower ranking, people may not time their fast moves properly which lets you sneak moves in really easily. An entire dragon tail snuck in is a ton of value compared to just one dragon breath. I think in that situation dragon tail is the way to go, but I generally prefer dragon breath.

I get the bulk point breakpoint thing. But why would it be bad to have a perfect pokemon? Wouldn't they just have good stamina and both other points?

That falls on the concept of levels. If you have a perfect IV mon you can only power up that pokemon to a lower level before it hits a CP cap of the league. Meanwhile pokemon with lower ivs will be a higher level. And like the main series games higher level mon does better.

I have a 0 15 15 shadow venomoth

My brain has stopped working

[@mazali2455]

so for master league we sohuld have max ıvs but under that league we should have diffrent ıvs

[@dylanrathbun8084]

Are you saying pvpoke doesn't take into account breakpoints?

What color are your eyes??

I understand what you are explaining but we cannot change IVs, unless you know a way beyond purification of shadow. So finding that One mon that has exactly what you are wanting in IVs is tough, catch em all. Cool topic but changing isn't realistic as you have to catch that One mon with IVs. Thanks for your hard work but really, to me, this looks like a way to look at what you've got and seeing how it might be better than another. Also in go battle league/PvP you have no idea what IVs you are against unless it's your friend standing next to you and is willing to show you what IVs they are using. If there was a way to change IVs this would be incredibly useful. Kind of random, in what you catch now.

Oh I didn't make it clear in the video but there are multiple iv sets that can hit breakpoints. The ones Pvpoke shows you is the just the one that hits the breakpoints & is also the highest ranking in terms of PvP Ivs. I'm still trying to find a calculator online though that can show all the IVs that's hit certain breakpoints

[@stevewakefield5001]

@Poké Daxi Nick trainertips had a spreadsheet, now one of the sites list, breakpoints for levels. Now I think about it the spreadsheet was more on breakpoints for powering up for raids. Sometimes lvl 37 and not lvl 40 are as strong. We can now go to lvl 50 pokemon so might be useful, too. I appreciate your work and have referred/shared several of your videos and shorts to friends to educate them. Keep up the great work!

You guys don’t complicate your life, I’m a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10 on pvp skills, I’m hitting legend constantly since season 7 with PvP IVs Pokémons , this Perfect IVs he’s talking about are good but they only come in clutch on very specific match ups when you win or lose by a couple of points of HP

[@ElPepo1337]

seems way to niche to actually be useful long term compared to the bulk you get out of perfect iv's

[@Byonare]

All this research, grind and whatnot sounds good on a paper, but then we still lose 50% of games due to lag and other bugs within the pvp mechanics :D

Hopefully they fix that this season
