Yes. Say you have base 100 defensive stats. A fully trained stat with Max IV's and EV's (but no nature boost) will have a stat of 299. However, one with 0 IV's will only have a stat of 268 (all level 100). Each IV counts for one stat point at level 100.

So what you're saying is, that my base stats can increase when i reach level 100 if i have high ivs, even without any evs whatsoever?

What do you personally think is a good iv 0-31 for defense and spd defense?

Im already striving for 31 spe and 31 spa mind you.

Personally, I'd say an average of 15.

Didn't understand the hide tag, sorry. And i've seen people, like chocolate-kipp for example, who have labelled links in their sig.

I'm a check it out.
 
Ok last question and im set.

You didn't answer this one. All i need to know before im off and running.

Thank you both for all of the great help tonight!

Yes. Each IV above 0 is worth one stat point at level 100.

Damn! Every answer gives me another question. This is the last one i swear :toast:

If my spd and def are both above 1 and i get that stat point for them, why does it matter if they have 1 ivs there or 15? Whats 15 do for my base stats over say 1?
 
No.

EDIT: Jage88, and IV of 15 gives a stat 14 points higher than an IV of 1. Up to 31 points can be gained like this.
 
@Eggbert: No.

@Jade88: Basically, the higher the IV, the greater damage output for offensive IV's, and the lesser damage input for lesser IV's. So the higher the IV stat, the less damage you will take from opposing moves.
 
Yes. If you look at the Somogon Strategy Dex, all of those stats have 31's applied. If you take 31 off of the middle two catgories, those would then be stats with 0 IV's.
 
I was under they impression that only my ev'd stats would affect how much damage i inflicted or damage i took.

I don't understand how my ivs affect this, other than how many evs they allow me to add to my stat.

This is what im really confused about
 
Every stat point will affect damage output.

Just like max EV's account for 63 stat points, Max IV's account for 31 stat points.

They both affect damage output.
 
All of them.

Each stat: HP/Att/Def/SAtt/SDef/Spd has a hidden stat of 31.

Anything further could probably be better served by this Serebii page on IV's.

Should every iv bred pokemon have a 31 hp iv? Would that be best?

Unless you're not using the stat (i.e. attack on starmie) or you're aiming for a low stat (Speed on trick room set) you want them to be as high as possible.
 
Anyone ever breed two pokemon with high ivs and only get pokemon with low ivs most of the time? Im breeding two Ralts, female with ivs between 121-150 and a flawless 31 in spa, and a male with ivs between 151-186 and flawless 31 hp. The female is holding the everstone to keep that modest nature.

Im only getting average- better than average pokemon when i breed. Im trying to breed for a modest female with 151-186. I found a trick where you save the game before you get the egg. get the nature and gender you want, and if the ivs are junk reset and the nature and gender will be the same

Im only getting junk, please help.
 
Jade88, if it helps, have a look at the on-site Breeding Guide if you haven't looked already. It will help. It's has 4 Parts...

Also, I believe the method you're talking about is the Soft Reset Method. If you're patient, you shall get the desired IV's...

Yes i am using the Soft reset method, i've gotten an hours worth of low level ivs. I figured that because im breeding high iv pokemon, the offspring would be guranteed to be high iv themselves?

Thats my question in a nutshell
 
Did you go to the link? Particularly section 3?

IV's are randomly generated then random IVs from the parent overwrite some of them. This means that the IVs from the parents aren't necessarily the high stats, they could be any. You could have one perfect parent and still not get any good IVs. It's just bad luck.
 
Not sure what "ivs between 151-186" means since that's what you mentioned you were aiming for ... are you ADDING up all the IVs together? There's no point adding them up. You should aim for specific IVs.

This means you should know the exact IVs of your parents and know what IVs you are aiming for. So here I am assuming that you said your female ralts has 31 SpA (and crappy everything else) and your male ralts has 31 HP (and crappy everything else).

In that case you should keep breeding until you get a male with 31 HP and 31 SpA or a female Modest with 31HP and 31 SpA. When you get either one of those, replace the previous parent with that one. Then keep breeding until you get both a male 31HP/31SpA and female Modest 31HP/31SpA.

At that point you keep breeding until you get one that has a 3rd 31, then exchange parents until both parents are are tri-flawless, and then continue onwards. That is the way to breed it using traditional soft resetting. If you are breeding in HG/SS (and not D/P/P), making your male parent hold a Power Item (probably power lens in your case) would make this process faster.

EDIT: Also, an hour isn't that long of a time. People (back then anyway) sometimes breed for weeks or longer to get the things they want. Of course now there's RNGing.

What is RNGing, i've heard this term a few times now.

Im reading the guide right now. On part 2 actually. Well written, even for complete noobs like myself!

The old guy in Emerald is the one who adds them all up so you can see its overall stats, he than specifys one that is above all others. Im trying to get as many 31s in each stat as possible. Im really only aiming for speed and spa, but i've been told to also worry about my def and spd stats. Also don't want a low hp stat.

So basically, im worried about EVERYTHING except Att.

So knowing what range everything is in, is quite helpful.
 
RNGing is exploiting the fact that the 'random' number generator that the game uses has been copied and understood, so it can be predicted in order to get just the right 'random' number for perfect Pokemon. There are many guides around the site. Look under the 'in-game' section.
