Getting a 4-star or perfect IV Pokémon is indeed quite rare. Let me break it down for you.
IV stands for Individual Values, which are hidden stats that determine a Pokémon’s potential in various attributes such as Attack, Defense, Speed, and more. Each IV can range from 0 to 31, with 31 being the highest possible value. Having a perfect IV in a stat means that it is maxed out at 31.
Now, when it comes to finding a Pokémon with perfect IVs in the wild, the odds are quite low. The chance of encountering a Pokémon with perfect IVs is 1 in 4,096, which is equivalent to 0.0244%.
To put this in perspective, imagine you are searching for a specific Pokémon species in the wild, and you encounter 4,096 of them. Statistically, only one of those Pokémon would have perfect IVs. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack!
I have personally spent countless hours searching for perfect IV Pokémon in the wild, and let me tell you, it can be a real test of patience. It often involves catching numerous Pokémon, checking their IVs using various methods, and hoping to stumble upon that elusive perfect one.
However, it’s worth noting that there are ways to increase your chances of obtaining perfect IV Pokémon. One method is through breeding. By breeding Pokémon with high IVs, you can pass down those IVs to their offspring. With careful breeding and a bit of luck, you can eventually obtain Pokémon with perfect IVs.
Additionally, in some Pokémon games, there are mechanisms like the Destiny Knot item that increase the likelihood of passing down IVs during breeding. These mechanics can make the process of obtaining perfect IV Pokémon a bit more manageable.
Finding a Pokémon with perfect IVs in the wild is an exceedingly rare occurrence, with odds of 1 in 4,096. It requires a lot of dedication, patience, and a fair bit of luck. However, with breeding and the right techniques, you can improve your chances of obtaining these highly sought-after Pokémon.
