How do I know if my IVs are good Scarlet?
What are IVs?
In the Pokémon Scarlet, IVs, or Individual Values, refer to a Pokémon’s inherent stats and abilities. IVs affect a Pokémon’s performance, making some better suited for battles than others. Identifying good IVs for your Pokémon can be essential in competitive battles and Poké Balls collecting.
How to check IVs in Scarlet?
Before we dive into what constitutes good IVs, you need to know how to check them in the game. Here are the steps:
- Pause the game and go to the Pokémon Box.
- Choose the Pokémon you wish to analyze and press the + Button to open its stats screen.
- Press the + Button again, and you will see your Pokémon’s IVs, EVs, Level, and STATS.
Identifying Good IVs: What to Look For?
When it comes to identifying good IVs in Scarlet, the following combinations are considered Ideal or Close to Ideal:

- Defense Stat: 31 ( Best ), 28-29 ( Good ), 25-26 ( Average )
- HP Stat: 31 ( Best ), 29 ( Good ), 27 ( Average )

Can Hyper Trained IVs Pass Down Scarlet?
Hyper Training increases a Pokémon’s EVs, giving it a slight boost to its stats. However, when breeding a Pokémon that has been Hyper Trained, its IVs will not be passed down to its offspring. For those seeking perfect IV breeding, this might be disheartening.
