Can You Get a Perfect Pokémon from Purifying?
Purifying a Shadow Pokémon is a popular method to increase its stats and make it a formidable team member. But, have you ever wondered if it’s possible to get a perfect Pokémon from purifying? In this article, we’ll dive into the world of Pokémon purification and explore the answer to this question.
The Chance of Getting a Perfect Purified Pokémon
According to Bulbapedia, the chance of getting a perfect Shadow Pokémon with at least 13 in each stat is 0.66%. This means that there is a small but non-zero chance of getting a perfect Pokémon from purifying.
What Happens When You Purify a Shadow Pokémon?
When you purify a Shadow Pokémon, it gains at least 2 IVs in every stat, and possibly a small chance to gain 3 IVs in a stat. The Pokémon’s stats are increased, and its level is reduced to 25 (or 30 if it’s weather-boosted).
The IV Distribution in Purified Pokémon
Here’s a breakdown of how IVs are distributed in purified Pokémon:
| Stat | Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 13-15 | 14 |
| Attack | 13-15 | 14 |
| Defense | 13-15 | 14 |
| Special Attack | 13-15 | 14 |
| Special Defense | 13-15 | 14 |
| Speed | 13-15 | 14 |
As you can see, the IVs in purified Pokémon are distributed fairly evenly across the stats.
The Weakest and Rarest Pokémon
But, what about the weakest and rarest Pokémon? Cosmog and Cosmoem are considered the weakest legendary Pokémon, with Cosmog having a base stat total of 320. On the other hand, the rarest Pokémon are considered to be those with perfect IVs (15/15/15).
How Common are 100 IV Pokémon?
The chance to get a 100% IV (15/15/15) Pokémon in Pokémon GO is 1/4096, or in percentage, 0.0244%. This means that getting a perfect IV Pokémon is extremely rare.
The Conclusion
In conclusion, while the chance of getting a perfect Pokémon from purifying is low, it’s not impossible. Purifying a Shadow Pokémon can increase its stats and make it a formidable team member. However, the distribution of IVs in purified Pokémon is relatively even, and getting a perfect IV Pokémon is extremely rare.
