Pokemon natures are one of the most important hidden stats in the game. Each nature increases one stat by 10% and decreases another by 10%. Choosing the right nature can mean the difference between winning and losing competitive matches.

Pokemon IV Calculator
Individual Values (IVs) are hidden stats assigned to every Pokemon at birth. They range from 0 to 31 and affect each of a Pokemon’s six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed). A Pokemon with 31 IVs in every stat is called a ‘perfect’ Pokemon.
Our Pokemon IV calculator tells you your Pokemon’s exact IVs based on its level, stats, nature, and EVs. Works for all mainline games as well as Pokemon GO IV calculator functionality.
How to Use the IV Calculator
Step 1 – Enter your Pokemon’s species name.
Step 2 – Enter its current level.
Step 3 – Enter its current stats (HP, Atk, Def, SpA, SpD, Spe).
Step 4 – Select its nature.
Step 5 – Enter its EVs if known.
Step 6 – Click ‘Calculate’ to see its IV range.
Pokemon EV Calculator
Effort Values (EVs) are points that increase a Pokemon’s stats based on the Pokemon it has battled. A Pokemon can have up to 510 total EVs, with a maximum of 252 EVs in any single stat. Our EV calculator helps you plan your EV spread for maximum competitive effectiveness.
Pokemon IV Calculator for Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO uses a simplified IV system where each Pokemon has three IVs: Attack, Defense, and HP, each ranging from 0 to 15. A Pokemon with 15/15/15 is 100% perfect. Our Pokemon GO IV calculator lets you input your Pokemon’s CP and level to calculate its GO IVs.
Pokemon Breeding Calculator
Breeding perfect IV Pokemon requires careful planning. Our Pokemon breeding calculator helps you calculate the probability of passing down desired IVs through breeding, accounting for items like the Destiny Knot and Power items.
