Think of it this way: If you go to a supermarket with a budget (CP) of $25.00 and you're asked to fill your cart with as many items as your budget will allow (level up), you won't go for the expensive meat aisle (attack stat) because you'll run out of money quickly. You'll go to the more economical aisle with all the canned goods and rice (defense and stamina stats).

Another thing to remember is that sometimes 0 and 1 star mon will have good pvp ivs. Also, you’d be surprised that sometimes something like a 1 15 8 might be better than a 0 15 15 because it’s all about getting as close to the CP threshold as possible and a 0 15 15 might go from a cp of 1468 and then jump to 1501 if you power it up again where the other iv set might be able to get to 1493 before going past the threshold. When I started really getting into pvp, I created tags for all the leagues, that way I would know why I had duplicates of certain mon hanging around.

U made the most sense to me, thank you and thank u everyone else for explaining this….im not really a fan of this system, I have so many 3 star pokes that are useless in alot of leagues minus the master league where I assume the better the Ivs the better the pokemon. Now to go thur a list of over 2thousand and see who’s worth keeping.

I am not a big fan of being obsessive with PvP IVs. Indeed they make your pokemon bulkier, but PvP is more than than. It all comes to having a team synergy, reading opponent's teams, having a great timing, reading the game clock etc. On the other hand, having a higher attack helps you win CMP ties. That is quite helpful in some limited cups, where mirror matches might occur more often. So my suggestion would be not focusing solely on IVs, but more on the skills.

This is EXACTLY the type of explanation I was in dire need of. I've been a "gamer" for most of my life, but I just couldn't wrap my head around how the underlying stats work in this game. So I largely ignored them and just accepted the results. The past couple weeks, I've been doing more PvP and getting wrecked with teams that SHOULD be good based on the lists you find on pvpoke and such. Like, all 3 of my team were listed in the top 15 or 20 "best pokemon" for a particular league. I just couldn't figure out why I kept getting beaten so badly. This explains why that is lol. Thank you for making this as simple and concise as it can be for paper napkin guys like me 🙂

Always good info! Do the IVs matter for a team going up against Giovanni, or are strategies different for that kind of match up? While I managed to beat him, I’m at a low level and muscled through with the few powerful Mons I had. Just curious.Thx!

This is the video I’ve needed for so long

What I usually have for the tag is tag the pokemon for great/ultra league and for the name I use Pokegenie to add the letter G or U and the percent number at the end of the name (mostly do it cause some pokemon I can't remember their names)

Ya I do the same!

Also for special gligar case, you want high atttack compared to low attack. High attack one win more match up

For stat product i always used pvpoke(kind of headace) . Pvpivs looks much easier to use and understand.

thank yooou! what i am doing now is the poke i like i power up 2 different ones, one with 3 stars full iv for raids and gym and another with lowest attack for pvp but only the ones i like so for example i have 3 stars dragonite and 0 attack /high hp and def dragonite for pvp

Great bro love from India ❤

The part about getting the closest CP value to the league max finally helped me get it. The "make them bulky" explanation always confused me

I literrally missed you after last video haha. Have been bing watching your videos with 24 hours playing, level 40 in 12 hours, videos with fleece king (funny I dont know who he is anyway xD) and others pvps etc. I already understand it, just watching many videos on youtube, and get the app. But you explained it very nicely. Same example with galarian weezing in ultra. But bastard need lot of candy XL and dust :(

Thanks for the vid 😂 I wish I knew that before I invested extremely in 3 stars and thought that's the best 😂

Make a video over the TR event this weekend pls apreciate it

In my team, two follow this rule. My third doesn’t, because I use the other two to tank hits, but the third deals a lot of the damage

Brother well done on explaining everything we need to no ❤ work

Last week I got the dream - a shiny ✨ shadow Sableye but I love the ruby red eyes to much & can’t bring myself to purify it 😅 Is the shadow that much worse than a purified one? I know I can’t get ‘Return’ as shadow but I also can’t return those ruby red eyes soo quite conflicted on whether or not to invest in it. 🤔

Ppl saying that higher ivs stats are good but youtubers are saying its bad like im so confused

kinda true. sometimes you want break points. and other times, its not a good idea cause streamers get the advantage in the (happens a lot more than you think) mirrors. if they have 2 more attack iv than you, they get the the move off 1st, letting them decide if they wanna make their videos look good by shielding or not shielding the weaker attack coming in. this is good general info but not precise. truth is do the homework before you start using any team. plenty of easy to read resources.

How can I know what attacks are better for PVP?

Why does the filter for pvp search doesn't work on my phone :x

so is a 0/0/0 iv good?

Which guzzlord had the better breakpoint?

2:00 - How do you see the stats? Like the IV numbers eg: 13-15-15 etc. I don't see any numbers, just the bar... ??

I’m not good at PvP but I guess this will help me but how do I tell what number an IV stat is at

The thing i still cant wrap my head around is how the pvp stats are THAT impactful. In your Sableye example, the difference is only 7 HP. I dont get how thats a worthy tradeoff for ALL of its atk points. For example, in a mirror match of two pokemon, both using the same moves at the same pace, i dont see how the slight health bonus outweighs more damage. And i really dont get how they dont balance out if one is bulky while the other is offensive. If the one with less hp is taking less damage , and the one with more hp is taking more damage, wouldnt it be more or less even? Is there any info on what exactly the atk and def stats do? Because we can easily see health being higher or lower, but you didnt mention if the attack was percentage boosted or what

1:57 that Guzzlord has 13 defense not 12 defense. Just a heads up Dax! Edit: 3:21 that Sableye’s semicircle is not full bc it still shows the power up button

Thank you for explaining this! I’ve likely thrown away a fair amount of pokemon that likely would have been great in pvp >,< without knowing it. Awe well…. Know now

This was a confusion to me while transferring 0,1, and 2 - star Pokémon to Home. Go says they suck but when sent to home, their stats say great or amazing. It does not make sense.

Soooo what do you use max iv pokemon for then i my question

Here’s a video idea: Managing XXL Pokémon. We don’t need more than 3 of each pokemon since we can only enter 3 showcases at a time. It how do we know which to keep? How does the showcase actually evaluate each Pokémon? Etc. Just a thought.

Just keep XXLS that have a gold Font of its size and weight also just keep the variation of each pokemon if it's lucky, purified, shadow or Gender

It's kinda different for Legendaries and Mythicals, since we will get minimum IV of 10/10/10 from raids and rerolling it from trades is annoying XD (can't even reroll for Mythics). So i'm kinda hesitant to power up and use them because they usually low ranked in PvPIV. How do you see this, Daxi? Should we just use whatever best ranked IV we got?

5 ай бұрын

I think for legendaries you can power up whatever cause they are usally so strong it doesn't matter - when it comes to legendaries in master league though I would reccomend a 15 attack iv so you can at least have a chance of winning cpm in the mirror

Fantastic video. Now teach us how to tap faster.

IDK, I started checking IVs on Pvpokes battle simulator & sometimes lower ranked (ie. rank 70, 90 or 150) pokemon with weird Ivs actually have a higher win ratio than better ranked (ie rank 3 or 9 or 20) pokemon with closer to ideal IVs & the Cp isn't always higher- seems a bit of a weird system. I think it also needs to be said that move set counts for more than IVs in some cases- I've been watching a fair bit of Pvp content & noticed a number of players using meta relevant pokemon with less-than-ideal ivs doing quite well despite this & when playing about on pvpoke, often times a rank 1 pokemonm with poor move set can easily be beaten by say a rank 50 or 150 pokemon with ideal moveset.

5 ай бұрын

Remember this is not a 100% always better scenario - sometimes you have a bit lower ranked so you can win CPM and stuff - but overall in most scenarios a high iv rank will perform better

Hi Daxi! Nice video, as always. I'd love if you (or anyone really) can answer me to one question, i find confusing info on the internet about 100 iv VS Shadow 100 iv. People say shadows are better because of the 20% extra damage, but, don't they take 20% extra damage aswell? Wouldn't that impact the overall performance? 20% extra damage taken means you will faint faster, wich means less total damage output? Did that change or was i mistaken all along? In PvE if that matters. I'm quite confused, i have a lucky 100iv Machamp and a Shadow 100 IV Machamp, and i will in time max both but now i want to min-max because i onlye have 1'3 million stardust😅 Thanks a lot! Take care!

5 ай бұрын

so in pvp it really depends - shadow can be better but sometimes worst cause like you stated lower defense. in PVE however reason its allways better is cause that is a flat 20% buff which is huge! even if you die a bit faster the extra damage you send out makes it worth it! Also in raids you usally die in like 1 charge move so loosing bit of defense doesn't matter - brandontan has a great video showing why its better comparing it!

How are battles won if the Attack is so low? @poke daxi says the difference is bulk -- higher Attack means bulk. Bulk translates in my mind to a fight between a scrawny teen vs a grown man. What am I missing?

So if i have 0 ATK all the ATK stats go to HP/DEF ?

This entire time I’ve been transferring any pokemon that didn’t have high attack, high HP and low defense… yikes. So question, if I have a 1972CP Sylveon.. (I powered it up quite a bit) it’s 2 stars, ATK is 8 or 9 (I can’t quite tell), DEF is 11, HP is about 12 I believe, is that good? Thanks Daxi, New sub! :D

But PVPoke says Sableye's best moveset includes return so IS 0 15 15 it's best PVP IV's? Is 2 15 15 better on a purified instead

so i have a 0 15 15 meltan but I'm unsure if I should evolve it cause its 72 or 42 cp-

what were they smoking then they decided non-perfect makes it better in Pokemon Go?

I may have missed this in the video, but y wouldn’t it be best to have a nundo (0 0 0 iv) since u could power that up higher?

5 ай бұрын

this is when ivs start to play a role - you need to find a good balance of high level & high defensive ivs - a 0/0/0 would actually fall short cause although its a high level it would have a lower defense & hp since its a low ivs - its a game of chicken kindaa

Im still kinda confused when ot comes to the megas ,likeega sablye and mega medicham ,those guys belong in great leauge ,but they will have low cp ,and peobably have no utility as megas ?and then it seems younjave the setting to showega spread off...

One more downside of having low attack IV is that if you and your opponent throw charge attack at the same time higher attack IV's pokemon will get a priority. I lost so much matchups because of that. :(

Bro I never knew your videos were so fire. What’s your PayPal or something bro? I need to support 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

but if you have a 1499cp for great league with 4 stars, that would still be better than a 0/15/15 1499cp right? The only reason why you want 0/15/15 is to be able to get as close to 1500 as possible for great league for example?

Me who using pg sharp to check my Pokemon level 😅

I just completely avoid PvP (0 Matches played, started in August 2016). You won’t ever catch me battling in the GBL regardless of rewards because it’s a part of the game I simply don’t enjoy and never will. The reason I feel so many people I know quit is because they get too invested in “meta” and “best IV’s” grinding themselves till they are burnt out and quit within 3 months of starting or returning. People want changes to route and party play? I’d like them to address the meta and PvP is for hardcore players only. Entry level PvP takes too much grinding and the overall time investment is insane. 3 “meta” Pokemon with perfect IV’s and legacy moves? No thanks. Rather just collect shiny Pokemon and fill out my Pokédex (missing only a few regionals and legendaries at this point).
