What is a Pokémon DV Calculator?
A Pokémon DV Calculator (or IV Calculator) helps determine your Pokémon’s hidden Individual Values (IVs)—stats that range from 0 to 31 (Gen III+) or 0 to 15 (Gen I-II, called DVs). These values affect your Pokémon’s max potential in battles, breeding, and even Hidden Power type in older games.
🔍 Fun Fact: In Pokémon Crystal, DVs also determine Shininess! Use a Pokémon Crystal DV calculator to check yours.
How Does a DV/IV Calculator Work?
- Input your Pokémon’s:
- Level
- Current stats (HP, Attack, etc.)
- Nature (Gen III+)
- EVs (if trained)
- The calculator compares stats to possible IV ranges.
Example (Lv. 50 Charizard):
| Stat | Value | IV Range |
|---|---|---|
| Atk | 125 | 28-31 |
| Speed | 140 | 30-31 |
💡 Tip: For Pokémon GO players, a Pokémon CP calculator IV helps estimate IVs using CP and HP.

How to Use a DV Calculator (Step-by-Step)

Why Do DVs/IVs Matter?
- 🏆 Competitive Battles: Higher IVs = stronger Pokémon.
- 🥚 Breeding: Pass down perfect IVs.
- ✨ Pokémon Crystal: DVs control Shiny odds!
FAQ
