In addition to this, it is adding compatibility to make it compatible with current games such as Pokemon Go making it useable on the go and for various purposes. In this article, we will be taking a look at Pokemon Home: How to check IVs?
IVs are stat attributes of pokemon that have been caught to check if they are viable for evolutions. Since all Pokemon games are basically RPGs, there is quite a lot of technicality involved in these games requiring the player to know the optimal and ideal stats of a pokemon before considering evolving it or making sure that the stats for the particular use case are well structured and will benefit from the evolution. All previous Pokemon games and repositories have had the ability to check the IVs of the pokemon before they are evolved into their next forms or traded for a significant in-game payday.
