Understanding Sun And Moon IV Checks
A Sun and Moon IV calculator helps players inspect hidden potential. IV means individual value. Each stat has one value from 0 to 31. Higher values usually create stronger final stats. The calculator compares your observed numbers with the game stat formula. It then returns every IV that can produce the same result.
Why Inputs Matter
This version uses level, base stat, effort points, nature, and observed stat. That makes it useful for advanced checks. You can test trained or partly trained Pokémon. You can also check eggs, catches, trades, and battle-ready builds.
How Matching Works
HP uses its own equation. Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed use another equation. Nature only affects the five non HP stats. A boosting nature uses 1.1. A hindering nature uses 0.9. A neutral nature uses 1.0. The tool tries all IVs from 0 to 31. Matching values are collected as possible answers.
Reading Ranges
Some results show one exact value. Other results show a range. Ranges happen often at low levels. The stat formula rounds numbers down. Small differences can disappear after rounding. Higher levels usually narrow the result. Known effort points also improve accuracy.
Planning Value
Use the average IV and total IV score as quick summaries. They do not replace careful stat checks. They help compare several Pokémon fast. A perfect six-stat result totals 186. A high battle build may not need every stat perfect. Physical attackers often ignore Special Attack. Special attackers often ignore Attack.
Exports And Records
The export buttons help with record keeping. CSV is useful for spreadsheets. The PDF option is useful for sharing a quick report. The example table shows how inputs can be prepared before testing.
Accuracy Tips
For best accuracy, enter the correct nature and effort points. Remove items or temporary battle effects from the observed stat. Use the summary screen values, not boosted battle numbers. If the Pokémon has no training, set effort points to zero. If effort points are unknown, test several possible values.
Limitations
This calculator is not a legality checker. It only solves the visible stat formula. It helps you understand potential, plan breeding, and compare team candidates with cleaner data. Combine it with move planning, role selection, and type coverage for better decisions. Keep notes for each tested Pokémon carefully.
