BREEDING iv's, MUCH difference?

[TEAMKOTTONMOUTH]

Sup everyone, anyway like the title.. for those of you that calculate ivs and such, do you notice a big difference *usually* in the ivs of breeeded pokemon?also i noticed the site said best to calc lvl 50, is there any way to check lvl 5? thx in advance

Yea, you'll notice a difference if you put the proper EV's and such in that stat. For checking a level 5's IV's just go to this:

It really doesn't matter what level you are to check the IV's. It just says level 50 because you've probably put enough EV's in that stat to make a difference.

ummm... but at lvl. 5 all my pokemon have 31 ivs... how does that work... i thought you had to get to lvl 20 at least to make it accurate...

Yes, you can check at any level. But the reason Lv50 is better is because IV calculators will give you a range of possible IVs, unless it is level 100. Level 50 has a 2-value range, so is small enough to give you a more accurate answer. At Lv5, the range can be really big.

What I do to calculate Lv5 IVs, I see the range at level 5, I give it one rare candy, and use my IV calculator again, and see where the new range overlaps. I do this over again until it gets to one value. Of course, I saved before all this, so I can just turn it off again, so its level isn't affected, and I can train it right.
