The first thing you should take into account is that IVs are called DVs in GSC, also they go from 0-15 instead of 0-31, at level 100, 1 DV means 2 points for each stat, also, there are no EVs in GSC, instead you have a stat experience, and every stat can be maxed with said experience.Hi! It is possible to check in-game (so in the cartridge) the IVs of the pokemon in Gold/Silver/Crystal? Like soft-resetting just to say.
Thank you!!!
Oh my God of course it helps! :DThe first thing you should take into account is that IVs are called DVs in GSC, also they go from 0-15 instead of 0-31, at level 100, 1 DV means 2 points for each stat, also, there are no EVs in GSC, instead you have a stat experience, and every stat can be maxed with said experience.
For example a Lv.100 Starmie with full speed exp should hit 328 if it has 15 Spe DVs, if it has 14 DVs instead, it will hit 326.
Anyways regarding to your question: no, there's no way to check DVs ingame and you should calc yourself or use tools
Some references:
- Gender is setted with DVs, for example: 50/50 gender ratio species will have 7-15 Atk DVs when male and 0-6 Atk when female.
- If you got a shiny: it has 15 Atk DVs but the rest of DVs are only 10 for each stat.

this is a DV calculator and is really easy to use.
Hope that helps.
These sets aren't really viable, for offensive politoed you should try this Specs set.what are Good Evs for the Following Politoed Sets. Assuming the Politoed is going to be used on rain offense.
set1:@mystic water
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-HP Grass/Focus blast
set 2: @chesto berry
-Scald
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-Rest
Thanks in advance.
So what's actually interesting is that Emerald has slightly different inheritance mechanics, so unlike RS or FRLG you're not always getting three IVs predetermined. It's always somewhere between 1-3 IVs passed down, because they're sequentially chosen and can be the same stat more than once. I believe this is the same way that it works in DP but I haven't bred there nearly as much.Hi, Im having a problem with this. As you may hnow, when you breed in Emerald, the parents passes 3 IV to the newly born pokemon. I hnow that the IVs they give to the pokemon are random (For example speed, attack, etc). And I have no problem when it comes to 1 parent IV (In this case, SP. Atk), but I can't get the other parent IV (SP. Def). Sometimes I get Special Defense but no Special Attack, and sometimes viceversa. I am doing something wrong?.
I am actually trying to breed a Ralts With maxed IV in Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. What I do in order to breed?, I just put my Ralts in the day care (She have maxed IV Special Defense) with Ditto (Maxed IV Special Attack). Ditto has a Everstone so I can get the same nature Pokemon as he have. Like I'd said before, can't get both of those IVs, only one of them.
Thanks for watching and sorry for my bad english, also since I'm new, I had no idea where to post this so I did it here.
PD: Also thanks to vonFiedler, a moderator who helped me and told me where I should post this!
So if I do this same process in FRLG, do you think Im going to have better chances to get passed the IVs that I want?So what's actually interesting is that Emerald has slightly different inheritance mechanics, so unlike RS or FRLG you're not always getting three IVs predetermined. It's always somewhere between 1-3 IVs passed down, because they're sequentially chosen and can be the same stat more than once. I believe this is the same way that it works in DP but I haven't bred there nearly as much.
Basically the way it works is that one IV from a random parent is chosen to be passed down. Then (again from either parent) a stat is chosen to have its IV passed down, but this stat cannot be HP. However, this is the only restriction, if it ends up picking the same stat again the first IV will be overridden by the second (or they're both chosen from the same parent). Then a third time a random parent's IV will be passed down, only this time it cannot be HP or Defense chosen. But again it can be the same one as before, and it will again override the chosen stat.
Here's an example of a scenario. You have a Pikachu with a 0/0/31/31/0/31 IV spread and a Ditto with a 31/31/31/31/31/31 IV spread. First stat is chosen and it's Ditto's SpDef IV, giving a baby with a -/-/-/-/31/- spread. Second one is chosen, it can't be Pikachu or Ditto's HP IV, and it's Pikachu's Defense IV, resulting in the baby now having a -/0/-/-/31/- spread. Third one, it can't be defense or HP, and it ends up being Pikachu's SpDef IV. This overwrites the previously chosen Ditto's SpDef IV, resulting in the baby having a final spread of -/0/-/-/0/-.
Something that I'm not 100% sure of is whether or not the exact same stat can be chosen in a row, since this can't really be tested and I'm not exactly sure where you'd look in the code. Basically what I mean is whether or not Pikachu's SpDef IV can be chosen three times in a row in the above scenario. Anyways, that's a bit off track, the answer you're looking for is that because of all this you're significantly less likely to get IVs that you want passed down in Emerald, especially when you get up to three IVs, so it's probably that you're just unlucky so far.
Yes, but it can be inconvenient to do the trading for it.So if I do this same process in FRLG, do you think Im going to have better chances to get passed the IVs that I want?
Thank you, this works!.Yes, but it can be inconvenient to do the trading for it.
