Formula Used

The calculator uses simple purification rules and optional CP estimation.

Purified IV = min(15, current IV + 2)
IV rating = (Attack IV + Defense IV + Stamina IV) / 45 × 100
Purified level used = max(current level, 25)
Future purified cost = ceil(normal planned cost × 0.90)
Estimated CP = floor((Attack × √Defense × √Stamina × CPM²) / 10)

The CP formula needs base stats for a stronger estimate. Without them, the page uses current CP and level multiplier scaling only.

How to Use This Calculator

Purification Planning Guide

Why Planning Matters

Purification planning matters because Shadow Pokémon use valuable stardust and candy. A fast check helps you avoid waste. It also shows when a low looking catch can become a perfect purified Pokémon.

What This Tool Checks

This calculator focuses on the main changes after purification. It adds two points to Attack, Defense, and Stamina IVs. Each value stops at fifteen. It also moves the level target to twenty five when the entered level is lower. If the Pokémon is already higher, the tool keeps that higher level.

Cost and Savings

The cost area lets you test common purification tiers. You can also enter custom stardust and candy values. This helps when costs differ by species or event. Extra fields estimate future savings from purified discounts. Enter planned power up, evolution, or second move costs. The tool applies a ten percent reduction and shows the saved amount.

CP Estimate Options

The CP estimate has two modes. If you enter base Attack, Defense, and Stamina, the page uses the standard CP structure with level multipliers. This gives a stronger estimate. If you only enter current CP and level, the page gives a simpler level based estimate. That result is less exact, but it still helps with quick planning.

Decision Advice

Use the decision note as a guide, not a command. Purifying can improve appraisal and lower future costs. It can also remove the Shadow state. Some trainers keep strong Shadow attackers for raids. Others purify for perfect IVs, collection goals, Return, or lower upgrade costs. Your goal matters most.

Export Reports

CSV and PDF exports are included for record keeping. Save results before mass purifying. Compare several catches in a spreadsheet. Mark the ones that reach perfect IVs. This makes Rocket storage cleanup easier.

Best Entry Tips

For best results, enter exact IVs from appraisal. Add the current level if you know it. Add base stats when you want a better CP estimate. Review the total resources before pressing Purify in game. This simple routine can protect rare candy, stardust, and elite choices.

Advanced Scenarios

Advanced users can run several scenarios. Test a hundo chase first. Then test future upgrade plans. Compare the final rating with the total cost. Keep notes about league limits too. A purified CP jump may pass Great League or Ultra League limits. Check before committing resources.

FAQs

What does this purification calculator do?

It estimates purified IVs, final rating, resource cost, possible savings, level change, and optional CP. It helps you decide whether a Shadow Pokémon is worth purifying.

Can this calculator show a perfect purified Pokémon?

Yes. If the final Attack, Defense, and Stamina IVs become 15/15/15, the result marks the Pokémon as a perfect purified option.

Why do IVs stop at fifteen?

Pokémon GO IV values have a maximum of fifteen per stat. The calculator adds two points, then caps each stat at fifteen.

Why is my CP estimate not exact?

Exact CP needs base Attack, base Defense, base Stamina, IVs, and level. If base stats are missing, the calculator uses a simpler level based estimate.

Which purification cost tier should I choose?

Choose the tier shown inside the game. Common tiers include 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, and 20,000 stardust. Use custom fields when needed.

Does purified status reduce future costs?

The calculator estimates future savings with a ten percent reduction. Enter planned power-up, evolution, or second move costs to view the discount.

Should I always purify a Shadow Pokémon?

No. It depends on your goal. Purify for perfect IVs, Return, collection, or lower costs. Review strong Shadow attackers carefully before changing them.

Can I export my result?

Yes. After calculating, use the CSV button for spreadsheet records or the PDF button for a simple printable report.
