Do IVs Change When You Trade in Pokemon GO?

Last updated
Ever wondered what happens to those individual values (IVs) when you trade your Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! It’s a big question for trainers everywhere.
So, let’s break it down: Do IVs change when you trade Pokemon in Pokemon GO? We’ve got the answer coming right up!
Yes, IVs Do Change!
When you trade a Pokemon with a friend in Pokemon GO, the IVs of the Pokemon get reshuffled. This means the stats for Attack, Defense, and Stamina that your Pokemon had before the trade might be different after the trade. It’s like giving your Pokemon a little surprise makeover!
This reshuffling of IVs means you have a chance to get a Pokemon with better stats through trading. But remember, it’s also possible for the stats to decrease. It’s all part of the fun and gamble of trading!
