Its also known that a lot of shinies may go up to the 32<sup>nd</sup> IV, this happens occasionally and the Veekun stat calculator will display the IV as being "impossible", so for shinies 20 is the lowest IV and 32 is the highest.

-In textual notation, IVs will produce stat points by IV/100, multiplied by your Pokémon's current level. The full outgrowth of IVs, at level 100, would equate to a 1 stat-point difference. For example, if your Pokémon had 20 Attack IVs at level 100, the IVs alone would provide 20 additional stat points. Thus, the maximal amount of additive stat points IVs can provide is 32, on the contingency that the Pokémon has 32 IVs in its stat.

 =What Stats does my Pokémon Need?=
-Uber Pokémon means that a Pokémon has good stats in the stats it actually needs the most. That means it doesn't actually have to have all the IV's to be great, but that the good IV's are in the correct places. To try and figure out what Pokémon needs what stats, you will have to open up it's Pokémon page here or in another Wiki. For this example we will be using [[Growlithe]] and his page. First of all, you want to determine if your Pokémon uses ATK or SPATK more, to do this, look at it's move-set. Does this Pokémon's best move use SPATK, ATK, or both for it's best moves? In the case of Growlithe, most of his moves, such as Reversal, Flare Blitz and Crunch, are all Attack-based moves, which means they require a nice Attack stats. So a good Growlithe should have good Attack IV's. To figure out if your Pokémon needs speed, you need to look at your Pokémon's base speed and see how good it is compared to other Pokémon's speed, a Pokémon like Snorlax has horrible Speed, so no matter how good the speed IV is it's always going to be the last one to go so it's not needed as much as other Pokémon. A Pokémon like Jolteon who has high amount of base speed compared to other Pokémon, might need the Speed IV to be less as well since no matter what, it's most likely to go faster than half the Pokémons in game. The Pokémon that needs the Speed IV the most are the ones that are just average. The rest if not all of the IV's can be determined from a couple of questions. <br><br>

 '''1. What kind of attacks is my Pokémon going to take?''' <br>
 If you're more likely to take out you're Pokémon against Special type Pokémon that use Special moves, then your Pokémon will need SPDEF more then Def, if it's the opposite, then you'll need DEF. Snorlax that is a Normal type, and Normal types that are only weak to Fighting, will need good DEF since most fighting Pokémon use ATK based attacks. <br>
 '''2. Does my Pokémon need more of this stat?'''<br>
-If your Pokémon has a very low amount of that base stat compared to other Pokémons then it most likely doesn't need it. The aim is to utilize the full stat potential of that species with further enhancement from IVs. <br>
