Hey guys,
In trying to figure out the importance ranking of the 3 stats I have found some conflicting views. I concluded that ev > iv > nature
Using example of Mega Blaziken (base stats from smogon)
MBlaziken has a very high base attack stat of 160.
1) The 10% from nature applies to base stat, so stat diff between neutral and positive attack nature is 16.
2) IVs give a 1-1 value at lvl 100, so the diff between a 0 and 31 attack IV MBlaziken would be 31.
3) EVs at 252 give 63 attack.
So for example, an MBlaziken with 31 attack IV and neutral nature would have a higher total attack stat than one with 14 attack IV and positive nature (by 1 point).
Is this correct or am I missing something?
Given that no pokemon has base stats of anything close to 310, can we say diff between positive and neutral nature is roughly 50% or less of the diff between 0 and 31 ivs?
