do you use pokemon with bad ivs
>>58517125yeah. hypertraining has made breeding irrelevant. no mon needs good IVs anymore.
>>58517125Yes, I can hyper train any Pokemon now so IVs generally don't matter anymore.
>>58517125I edit them with PKSM
Ivs are such a bad system.Its supposed to give pokemon some variance. But the overall effect is so tiny, a casual player would never notice. Hopefully it stays dead.
>>58517180This is the ethical way.
>>58517125She's almost optimal if only she had 0 atk and 0 spd ivs
>>58517125I want to remind her how stupid and useless she is while I fuck her brains out.
>>58517125I care about nature's mostly.
>>58517125Are bad IVs really an issue anymore now that we have bottlecaps to fix them?
ivs? of coursenature? nogender? NO
>>58517125Depends on the game, what stage of progression I'm in and what the fuck I'm doing because >>58517215 except when you are maybe playing a hard roomhack or a fangame like pokemmo.Personally, even on challenging roomhacks, I can tolerate bad IVs if the pokemon isn't a shitmon and their nature is right.But a shitmon has no excuses to have bad IVs because what's stopping me from just capturing another one with decent IVs?Rather, why would I even waste time capturing a shitmon in first place unless I want to complete my pokedex or something else?Nature and ability is what makes or breaks the deal for me.
>>58517183>But the overall effect is so tiny, a casual player would never notice.And the players who will notice, competitive players, just see it as an annoyance.And the variance they introduce is always strictly positive or negative. It's not like natures which have a tradeoff. A Pokemon can have 31 in every IV or 0, and the one with 31 is objectively better.I can't think of any argument for IV's being good.
>>585173660 is good for speed in Trick Room teams0 is good for attack on special attackers to reduce Foul Play and confusion (the status) damage>what about the other stats and point rangesuh...
>>58517375ultra beasts could make use of weird ranges, like stakataka running specifically 15 defense ivs to get an attack beast boost without bringing defense down as much as it would if it was 0 defensebut that's a very very niche application
>>58517375DEF and SP.DEF for Download.
>>58517125bottlecap that bitch homie
>>58517125Back on the GBA a low IV Gardevoir with a bad nature could still kill it in contests. You could even pretend that +atk nature results in a nice physique.Now you have bottle caps and mints. Any pokemon can have a 31 in every stat and an optimal nature.
>>58517125I have never once given a single, solitary shit about IVs.
>>58517305Do you want to waste 25 hours succumbing to RNG just for those bottle caps? Or wait and spend an extra $30 for the DLC to drop them like candy?https://youtu.be/HC3LDCl91sI&t=507
>>58517332so you don't care about bad IVs but do care about "bad gender". What would that even mean?
>>58517710This guy is a huge fucking faggot who exaggerates
>>58517766the gender needs to match the name i want to give themor one of the genders look better
>>58517125don't abandon :(
>>58517406>>58517541sure these exist but don't warrant an entire system to make pokemon randomly worse than others based on generally invisible and uncontrollable RNG variables>but gen 9 QOLat that point you really might as well just remove them and bake a 31 IV baseline into the stat formula
>>58517587Imagine being at a Pokémon Contest and someone unironically enters their Gardevoir in the tough category. Then it traces Huge Power and uses Mimic (FRLG move tutor) to copy Bulk Up.
>>58517766I'm not gay, all my pokemon have to be female. Unless they're bromon
>>58517167
>>58517125yeah, i can't tell who has bad ivs in the games i likeOnly nature matters to me
>>58519869>bromon>not gayLMAO
>>58520237gays have made male friendships illegal now?
>>58519206>bake a 31 IV baseline into the stat formulaOr wipe everything to 0. No IVs means no IVs, and it may help with power creep.
>>58517183They could perhaps have made it so that in all non-EXP-awarding battles like multiplayer battles, that all IVs are temporarily set to 31 such as how Level can be set temporarily to another value. Or temporarily randomise them all instead of set them all to 31.>>58517587In Pokémon Contests, all species of Pokémon are completely identical gameplay-wise except for what Moves they can learn, and in ORAS if they can Mega Evolve or not. That's it. It makes Smeargle arguably the best species for Pokémon Contests in the main games.
IVs being lowered for certain hidden power types was right at the edge of the way they should have been handled. You should have tradeoffs available between stats and movesets/abilities. Say certain eggmoves are locked behind certain IVs being sufficiently low, or you have to lower IVs for a specific tutor move, or the better ability is locked to having IVs total less than half total possible IVs. THAT would be interesting.

>>58517125I don't waste my time looking at IVs, no.
