IV Question

[pokekid1]

Ok I understand that to find a pokemon's IV it has to be at lvl. 100 because that's when its stats are final. Well besides by using rare candies on the pokemon to raise it to lvl. 100 and record its stats then reset, can I go on wifi against a friend and turn my pokemon to lvl. 100 and record its stats and will that be the same thing? For example I have a lvl. 1 dratini and then take it on wifi to turn its level to 100 and go to summary and input the stats onto the IV calculator with 0 EV for would the information be correct?

well it doesn't have to be at lvl 100, calculating IVs at other lvls just aren't a hundred percent correct

Just raise the pokemon to level 22 and calculate it's iv's then that's what i always do and there accurate too.

Do the Lv.100 if you want the most accurate results and the Hidden Power type and pwr depending on which calculator you use.

Yes, you can just go in a battle and do that. In fact, that's what many people do already. You need to either do that or use 99 Rare Candies to get a good enough range if you're calculating Hidden Power. If you don't care as much, then just use ~20 or more (if you have more) Rare Candies.
