All new people start off as initiates and earn the member role after being social on discord. The channels/services include: • Dex/loan service (available to initiates): the guild has a full living dex of ALL catachable Pokemon in pro, we provide a dex service to help members build up their owned data, especially handy for those hard to find Pokemon like zorua and phantump. • Guild trade shop (available to initiates): We provide a service where members can come to us instead of having navigate in game trade channel for held items, evo items and coin store items. The price of these items are displayed for all to see and we provide them at the lower end of the current market price. • Daycare: we have a in guild daycare service provided by several of our members. While members are not obligated to use it for their daycare needs it tends to be cheaper than outside daycare, they offer discounts on bulk orders and it’s a trusted and reliable service. • Free pokes: we have a channel where we just give away Pokemon to our members, members as well as leaders donate Pokemon to this service whenever they feel like it (purely voluntary), all donated Pokemon are vetted and only Pokemon that are usable are posted here for members to claim (you won’t see any neutral nature poliwags here). • PvP channels: we have three PvP channels, one giving detailed information on PvP, everything you need to know before starting , the second where members can discuss teams, movesets and teams they’ve come across while PvPing and finally the third one where we advertise PvP Pokémon that are available for you to loan for free !

SUMMARY I. Introduction II. What are IVs? III. Method 1 : TOTAL 5 IVs IV. Probability for TOTAL 1 to 6 IVs V. Method 2 : IV Probability VI. References I. Introduction As we can notice, it’s very hard a find an epic PKM: Have the right ability, have the right nature, and have epic IVs. The concept of epic depends of each person, we don’t have the same perception of what PKM is epic or not. We have an idea of the probability to find one PKM with the rarity tiers (it’s not precise sadly), we know the probability for ability (H.A. = 5%), we all use Synchronize to find the right nature with 50% probability, but nobody did a guide about the probability for IVs. So, I decided to post two methods to apprehend the rarity of different PKM based on IVs. It’s not really a guide, there is no method to have better IVs on PKM, and my post will not give the answer to the big question: “Is my PKM epic?”. All my guide is only one indicator of rarity. II. What are IVs? IVs means Individual Value, you can find it on your PKM in orange : IVs are predefined values from 1 to 31, they are random generated when you engage a PKM in the wild. You can’t change it, a PKM born and die with his IVs. With a value from 1 to 31 in the 6 different statistics, there are 31^6 = 887 503 681 combinations of IVs. It means every PKM is almost unique for his IVs. Other interesting fact: the combination 31 in each stats has a probability of 1 / 887 503 681. And the sum of the ID PKM for Red, Blue and Yellow Server is around 50m, so we are not even close to find one perfect PKM in IVs :devil: What is the point to have “good” IVs? The all point to have “good” IVs is to have better stats for fight. You can see the formula to calculate the statistic of a PKM : Formula from https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Statistic I will take an example with the statistic ATK for a PKM lv 100 with 80 Base Stat (average of Base Stat), 252 EV and Adamant nature: [/b] ATK = ( ( ( 2 * base + IV + EV/4 )* Lv ) / 100 + 5 ) * Nature ATK = ( ( ( 2 * 80 + IV + 252/4 ) * 100 ) / 100 + 5 ) * 1,1 ATK = ( ( (223 + IV ) + 5 ) * 1,1 ATK = 250,8 + IV *1,1 So, in lv 100, the IVs will add 1 stat for each IV. And for a bonus nature, it will add 1,1 stat for each IV. If my PKM, in the example, has 26 in IVs ATK, he will have 250,8 + 28,6 = 279,4 ATK. To resume, having goods IVs in each stats can help in fight, but the influence is not huge. So, you don’t need the perfect IVs on your PKM, you just need to have correct IVs. III. Method 1: TOTAL 5 IVs. I will base this part of the guide on the majority of PKM : for a lot of PKM, one statistic is useless. An example: For Scyther, the statistic SPATK is useless, he can have 1 or 31 IVs, this statistic will never be use. So, the TOTAL 5 IVs is the sum of his IVs except the useless statistic. In my example, for Scyther : TOTAL 5 IVs = 50 (ATK 15 + DEF 04 + SPD 01 + SPDEF 13 + HP 17) The same method can be use with another TOTAL IVs, depends of the PKM you select. Imagine, I don’t like this Scyther, his ability and nature are perfect, but his IVs seems bad for me. I don’t care about having 31 in ATK and SPD, I just want have a TOTAL 5 IVs = 120 at least. But, before I chase one with this TOTAL 5 IVs, I want to estimate how much time I will take to chase it. So, I need to calculate the probability to have at least a TOTAL 5 IVs = 120. How can I calculate it? The IVs are randomly generate like dices, it’s as if I have 5 dices with 31 sides and I want the number of time I can have the sum 120 for this dices. The probability is determinate by this formula: With : s = sum wanted => 120 n = number of dices => 5 x = number of sides => 31 k = all value undivided 0 to (s – n) / x So, I need to do the sum of probability TOTAL 5 IVs = 120 to 155, and I will have my probability to have a TOTAL 5 IVs = 120 at least. Lucky me, I have Excel. And the answer to the sum of probability TOTAL 5 IVs = 120 to 155 is 2,296%. So, if I want a Scyther with a sum of 120 in his 5 useful stats, I have 2,296% to have it. In average, I need to catch 44 Scyther Technician Adamant before I can have one with TOTAL 5 IVs = 120. What is the point to know this? The TOTAL 5 IVs is one indicator of rarity, it will no help to chase better IVs, you can be lucky and find it in first try or catch 500 before have it. But, it’s a tool for decision-making: Should I buy or chase? The TOTAL 5 IVs gives you a view of how much time you will take for chase a PKM, and help you determinate the price you can pay for buying a PKM. It can be also a tool for chasing a PKM: for a PKM rarity tiers 1, it’s easy to catch a lot, so for a first selective sorting of your catches, you can decide what percentage of PKM you will release before looking in specifics IVs. For example : I will keep only the 10% better PKM in TOTAL 5 IVs, the 10% matches to TOTAL 5 IVs = 107. So, I will release all PKM under this sum and only after I will look in specifics IVs. Because even if a Scyther has 31 in ATK and SPD, with TOTAL 5 IVs = 107, he will have only 45 in the rest of his stats. The TOTAL 5 IVs has a big disadvantage, this method doesn’t take into account specifics stats. Two PKM can have the same TOTAL 5 IVs, but one can have 31 in a vital statistic when the other PKM will have 1. It’s up to you to use your brain after using the method x) IV. Probability for TOTAL 1 to 6 IVs In the previous part, we saw what is the TOTAL 5 IVs, in this part, i publish the probabilities associates to each TOTAL IVs. It's easy to use, you look for the TOTAL IVs you want and go look to the sum to know what is his "rarity". For example: TOTAL 5 IVs = 90 => 32,222%, it means that 32,222% of PKM has same or better TOTAL 5 IVs than him. The red lines delimit the percentages: 1% / 2% / 3% / 5% / 10% / 20% / 30%. TOTAL 1 IVs TOTAL 2 IVs TOTAL 3 IVs TOTAL 4 IVs TOTAL 5 IVs TOTAL 6 IVs I share the Excel i used, so you can use it too. You can download it with this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4dvjolkk5p1b26/PROBABILITY IVS.xlsx?dl=0 In the right top, you can click on download. If something is wrong with the Excel or the uploader, tell me. Or you can use the online calculator i made : T5IVs Calculator by Kaminokage : http://fsogame.free.fr/tools/calct5ivs.php V. Method 2 : IV Probability As we saw previously, the TOTAL 5 IVs doesn’t take into account specifics stats, so another method exist to evaluate one PKM. You can calculate directly the probability for specifics IVs. The formula is : This formula is good if you want to use the 6 IVs to calculate your probability, but if you want only 5 IVs (for example: Scyther again), you can remove the part with the useless stats (SPATK for Scyther). This easy remove is explain because you don’t care about your SPATK, you can have 1 or 31 it’s the same: if IVs SPATK = 1, so (32-1)/31 = 1, and multiply by 1 changes nothing to the probability x) I will take an example of using this method: Same than before, I want a Scyther, but this time I want in IVs: At least 30 in ATK At least 20 in DEF At least 30 in SPD At least 20 in SPDEF At least 20 in HP I calculate his probability: IVs Proba = ((32-ATK)/31)* ((32-DEF)/31)* ((32-SPD)/31)* ((32-SPDEF)/31)* ((32-HP)/31) IVs Proba = ((32-30)/31)* ((32-20)/31)* ((32-30)/31)* ((32-20)/31)* ((32-20)/31) IVs Proba = (2/31)* (12/31)* (2/31)* (12/31)* (12/31) IVs Proba = 0,000241432 = 0,0241% So, it means than 0,0241% of Scyther will have exactly or better than the IVs I want. So I need to farm in average 4142 Scyther to have it. This method seems nice, but it has disadvantage too. You can’t use it for evaluate the value of your PKM. This method is too much selective. I will take another example to explain it: My dear Scyther, again, if I calculate his IVs Proba with this method I obtain: 14,6894% This result seems absurd, it would mean 85,32% of Scyther are worse than him. It’s because, with this method, only better IVs than 17 in HP are selected. A lot of part of Scyther are deleted without taking care of the rest of his IVs. It’s the same for a PKM with 31/1/1/1/1/1 in IVs, the method will only select the PKM with 31 IVs in ATK, so the result will be 3,2258%. Even if the value seems nice, the PKM is trash. So, again, it’s up to you to use your brain after using the method x) You can find in my Excel a Calculator for this IVs Proba. VI.

Hello PRO community! I bring to you a PvP video with my guild friend and former TOP 15 PvP player for Gold Server, Humberto. I have not recorded a video about the PRO for a long time, since I came back to play I had not recorded any videos. I had stopped playing in December, I still played in the account Mikami (which I gave to a friend when I stopped playing, and I regretted because I did not expect that one day I would play again, but now there is no turning back). But I'm here to share more about the game for the world and show the community more about the competitive of this game. I chose Humberto because he is a great friend and also a great PvP player. I'm not very good at video editing, but I did everything for the public to like. I hope you like it =) Preferably watch in HD, full screen. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5rT4r8z4qw Enjoy ^-^ Thank You!

Maybe can you add an exactly time when auction ends?

Very nice guide, much better than the old one. Although might be worth mentioning all the false swipe mons. And a tip that I give to people who want best results when hunting specific mons that may be worth mentioning: When hunting a poke you should take note of how many other will spawn with it at any given day, as each mon that appears there also adds to the percentage rate of encounter. It's kind of hard to explain but here's an example of what I mean: On route 36 Growlithe appears all hours of the day, with 12 other mons that spawn there. 6 spawn at night, 10 during morning and 5 during the day. So the best time to hunt them would be during the day as you will find a growlithe at that time more frequently. The same can be said comparing to other routes that it spawns at. Growlithe on route 8 has 11 mons in total. 6 during the night, 9 during the morning and 8 during the day. So in contrast to the other route I mentioned, this route is not as good as a spot to hunt Growlithe as route 36 is when hunting during the day, but it is better than route 36 to hunt during the morning. Finding this out can save you some time when hunting a specific mon.
