IV terms for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - How are my Pokémon judged?
While the Judge function won’t show you a specific number, they will “judge” each of your Pokémon’s IVs from No Good to Best. The perfect IV is31. This means that a Pokémon with an HP IV of 31 will always have more HP than a Pokémon with an HP IV of 24 of the same species and same level.
If you’re not satisfied with your Pokémon’s IVs, you can breed high IV Pokémon to produce a high-IV. Or, you can simply go to Montenevera andHyper Trainyour Pokémon. Hyper Training is especially crucial to clearing The Indigo Disk DLC content!
