I get your point but this information is obviously known in the game , so I really don ' t know why Niantic invested in making it cryptic the arc above the pokemon shows the level you have to guesstimate it and the cycle of appraisal screens hint at the IVs the algorithm to determine IVs is obviously known and almost deterministic . It would have taken a developer less time to just add 5 text fields to the details of each pokemon instead of coding 3 different sets of appraisal screens for the 3 different teams . And Niantic even added features to skip some of the appraisal screens by tapping multiple fingers . Does anyone who cares about IVs actually enjoy cycling through the screens and using an outside Calculator App ? None of the people I know do . And if a player doesn ' t care about these stats , they can just ignore them the same way that they can ignore moves , types , CP , Level , Height , Weight , etc . I get the joy of coding Apps and gaming the game but this one feels very unnecessary and this info should be available in the game . In the meantime , we have to rely on people to code Apps to serve the purpose , so thank you for doing this . And it ' s not unique to your specific App , which is great , btw and I use it . It is saving me some time from typing the stats in a webbased calculator .
