Yeah, i was thinking about waiting to catch one when i'm in a higher level (i'm 13 right now). Thanks for the answer - but is it always about the IV when evolving or powering up?

it honestly depends on the situation, you could have a 100% IV'd Snorlax but be CP 200 or have a 88% Snorlax at 1900 CP, I am going to max out the 1900 CP one.

Isn't there another site like PokeAdvisor? It's so boring to calculate one by one lol

There's an IV checker app for Android but yeah, you've gotta check them one by one. :/

If the game had a reliable tracker and actually thoroughly taught you how to play the game, then none of this would be an issue. People would have still found loopholes, but there wouldn't have been a need to rely on those loopholes.

*sigh*

There shouldn't be a tracker at all TBH, that's why they removed the foot prints. I mean, even Pokemon Nearby should be a goner but I'm assuming they were scared of people getting mad over it.

I still would rather the footprints. Walking around in a giant circle looking for raichu and coming up with rats is totally not cool especially on a hot day and the compass is shitty to use.

So dumb, I can't even.

I kind of knew about this site last week but I was reading on Reddit that people would get soft bans or labeled cheaters. It's a nice idea to have this sort of site though. I couldn't even sign in after Saturday night.

Yes, it's extremely stupid. The reason Niantic wants sites like these closed is because they extract info and data from the game. And Niantic doesn't like that.

The problem is these sites help where the game lacks. There's no way in game to figure out your Pokemon's IV's. There's no way in game to track Pokemon. The reason they got rid of the footstep tracker was because the amount of data needed for it overloaded the server. It's the same reason the alpha version, where it had "X meters" under the Pokemon was changed to footsteps. So if we can't track them in game, we need 3rd party apps/sites to assist us. Niantic needs to partner with Pokevision/Pokewhere and Pokeadvisor.

I'll be working on the guide though, and I'll add in how to find your Pokemon's IV's but it's complicated, which is why sites like Pokeadvisor were invaluable.

I'll be looking forward to the guide. Could use some serious tips on catching more electric, rock, fighting and fire types.

So, what's the best place to calculate IV right now?
Click to expand...
Well the newest update gave the team leaders some use by "Appraising" your pokemon. They'll tell you it's best stat, how it will fair in battle and it's overall validity. No precise numbers given though so @Juggs may have a more solid alternative method of finding precise IVs.

Yeah, i just saw it. It's a useful tool to know when to transfer a pokemon in the moment you caught it. I miss PokeAdvisor, i think that was one of the only site that calculated the exact IV of each Pokemon.
