Pokémon Black IV Calculator
Individual Values (IVs) are hidden stats that determine a Pokémon’s potential. The Pokémon Black IV Calculator helps trainers uncover these values to breed and battle with the strongest teams.
Understanding IVs in Pokémon Black
IVs range from 0 to 31 in each stat (HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Attack, Sp. Defense, Speed). Higher IVs mean better stats at max level. Unlike EVs (Effort Values), IVs are innate and can’t be increased—only inherited through breeding.
Key Features of the Pokémon Black IV Calculator
- Calculates IVs for all six stats
- Accounts for level, nature, and base stats
- Helps determine optimal breeding pairs
- Compatible with Pokémon Black & White (Gen 5)
How to Use the Pokémon Black IV Calculator
- Enter your Pokémon’s current stats (HP, Attack, etc.).
- Input its level (1–100).
- Select its nature (e.g., Adamant, Modest).
- Calculate to reveal IV ranges.
IV Calculation Formula (Simplified)
The formula for a stat (excluding HP) is:
Stat = ((Base + IV) × 2 + (EV / 4)) × Level / 100 + 5
For HP:
HP = ((Base + IV) × 2 + (EV / 4)) × Level / 100 + 10 + Level
| Stat | Max IV (31) Benefit |
|---|---|
| HP | Higher survivability |
| Attack | Stronger physical moves |
| Defense | Better physical bulk |
| Sp. Attack | Stronger special moves |
| Sp. Defense | Better special bulk |
| Speed | Faster than opponents |
Comparing with Other Pokémon Calculators
- Pokémon Base Stat Calculator: Helps determine a Pokémon’s inherent strengths before IVs/EVs.
- Pokémon Alpha Sapphire IV Calculator: Works similarly but for Gen 6 games (different mechanics).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IV in Pokémon?
IVs (Individual Values) are hidden numbers (0–31) that affect a Pokémon’s stats. They are permanent and differ even among the same species.
How do I use the Pokémon Black IV Calculator?
Input your Pokémon’s stats, level, and nature. The calculator estimates IV ranges, helping you determine breeding potential.
Can I calculate IVs for Pokémon from other games?
This calculator is optimized for Pokémon Black/White. For other games (like Alpha Sapphire), use a Gen 6-specific IV calculator due to formula differences.
