Can You Change IV in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can tweak your Pokémon’s IV in Pokémon GO? You’re not alone! It’s a burning question for many dedicated trainers out there looking to perfect their team.
So, let’s dive into whether changing a Pokémon’s Individual Values (IV) is within the realm of possibility in Pokémon GO.
Short Answer: Not Directly
No, you cannot directly change the IV of a Pokémon in Pokémon GO. IVs are set stats that are determined when a Pokémon is first encountered or hatched. These values play a significant role in determining a Pokémon’s strength and overall potential in battles.
However, not all hope is lost. While you cannot directly alter IVs, players have certain strategies to work around this. Trading Pokémon with friends can result in slight changes to IVs due to the trading process. Also, powering up and evolving your Pokémon doesn’t change its IVs, but it can make your Pokémon stronger, compensating for less-than-ideal IVs.
