Brief Overview  A Pokémon has a potential to be stronger: Inside (IV’s) and Outside (EV’s) (Lets use this for all intensive purposes)  IV = Individual Value or Internal Potential  EV = External Value or Effort Value  In this Presentation, we’ll discuss IV’s their Individual or Internal Potential

IV’s Overview  IV’s are measured from 0-31  0 = No Good  31= Maxed out/Best/Hyper Trained!

Where to Find IV Judge Function  Go to the Battle Tree (post game) and speak to the Ace Trainer next to the PC. You need a minimum of 20 eggs hatched in order to receive the judge function/app.

A. IV Raising by Bottle Caps  You can raise IV’s by Hyper Training! Simply go to the shopping mall in Hau'oli City and speak to the man with the red shirt (Pokemon must be L100) Gold All Stats Reg 1 Stat

Where Do I Find Bottle Caps? 1. By Fishing in Ripple Spots 2. By Festival Plaza Treasure Hunt  3. Exchange 30 shards with man in Festival Plaza Castle 4. Poke Pelago (Isle Aphun)

B. Maximizing IV’s by Breeding  When breeding, you want to make sure both parents have the best IV’s to save some breeding time. (Note: Hyper Trained IV’s don’t pass max IVs like Best does!)  Tip: Attach a Destiny Knot on the parent with the highest IVs (31/31/31/31/31) See Sandshrew

C. Breeding 101- With Items  Power Items: Passes down specific IV stat depending on power item (see table above).  Everstone: Passes down nature to offspring. Also passes Kanto Forms when held by Kanto parent  Destiny Knot: Passes down five IVs total from each parent to offspring  Incenses: Creates certain offspring Pokemon

Where Do I Find Power Items?  In the 2nd Island inside the Battle Royale building  Speak to the 2nd Receptionist from the left

D. Breeding 101- How Ditto Works  Ditto cannot pass down its own Pokeball.  It’s still useful because it copies the other parent’s species, regardless of gender/genderless.  Ditto can also pass down its own nature when holding an Everstone.

E. Breeding 101- Passing Pokeballs to Offspring Different Parents/Species- Mother only Same Parents/Species- Either Parent 50/50% Same Parents/Diff Species- Mother only Parents/Ditto-Either Parent 100% Parent/ 0% Ditto Master Balls/Cherish Balls- Always pass down as Regular Pokeballs
