Ever wondered how you can boost your Pokemon’s Individual Values (IVs) in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone. This question is on the minds of many trainers eager to optimize their team’s performance.

In Pokemon GO, IVs play a crucial role in determining how strong your Pokemon can ultimately become. Let’s dive into how you can increase your Pokemon’s IVs in the game.

Understanding IVs in Pokemon GO

First things first, what are IVs? In Pokemon GO, IVs are hidden stats that influence how high a Pokemon’s attack, defense, and stamina can be. These values go from 0 to 15 for each stat, and the higher they are, the stronger your Pokemon can be in battles.

It’s important to note that you can’t directly “increase” the IV of a Pokemon you’ve already caught. However, there are strategies to ensure the ones you catch have the best possible IVs.

Finding High IV Pokemon

To catch Pokemon with high IVs, pay special attention to events like Community Days and raids. These events often feature Pokemon with guaranteed high IVs. Another trick is to use the appraisal system in the game to check the IVs of your Pokemon. Look for ones that receive the highest praise from your team leader.

Remember, while you can’t increase the IVs of Pokemon you already own, you can search and catch ones with naturally high IVs. Also, trading Pokemon with friends gives you a chance to receive a Pokemon with improved IVs due to the random re-roll that occurs with traded Pokemon.
