Yesterday, ComicBook.com reported that the new Pokemon Go update will allow trainers to find out their Pokemon's "IV stats", individualized stats unique to each Pokemon. Unlike online IV checkers (which are technically against Pokemon Go's terms of service) that list individual statistics and totals, Pokemon Go's new "Pokemon appraisal" system will only give a general idea about a Pokemon's IV stats. However, there is a way to interpret the results to get a pretty good idea about how strong a Pokemon really is.

Each Pokemon has three different IV stats related to attack, defense, and stamina. A Pokemon can have an IV stat between 0 and 15 for each stat, with a maximum total IV stat of 45. Usually, most players discuss IV stats either by listing three sets of numbers (15/15/15 would be a perfect Pokemon and 0/0/0 would be the weakest) or with a percentage based on total IV. A Pokemon with a stat line of 8/8/8 would have a total IV percentage of 53.3% or 24/45.

There are two lines of dialogue that each team leader uses when appraising Pokemon, one of which relates to total IV percentage and the other that relates to a Pokemon's highest individual stat. The dialogue varies by Team Leader, so we've listed all the possible dialogue below:

Blanche - Team Mystic

"Overall, your (Pokemon Name) is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!" - IV percentage between 80% and 100%

"Overall, your (Pokemon Name) has certainly caught my attention." - IV percentage between 67% and 79%.

"Overall, your (Pokemon Name) is above average." - IV percentage between 51% - 66%.
