    Why do you even care about the movesets for pokemon such as butterfree..
    Btw. Niantic totally needs to add like a 15 candy fee to reroll movesets.
    And also a way to take a pokemon out of a gym without it being taken.. My garydos has been stuck in a suburb park for weeks.

      +Mohamed Dief This assumes Niantic had any clue what they were doing when coding moves. From the way certain moves were so overpowered compared to others at launch, it's safe to say they didn't even consider which moves were better than others as a means of balance.

    Hey Professor Nick @TRNRtips. So in my area ponyta is not a common Pokemon to find but accidentally I came upon a spot in like a grassy area where ponyta keeps spawning. I'll say i ran into it 4 out of 6 times going there. But it's not a nest because it's only the one spot and only that spot. And it's not usually on my radar. So I just go up to it and have it pop up. Why do you think ponyta keeps spawning there?

  • @perfectfutures
    @perfectfutures 8 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Thanks for your channel and advice. I'd be a little skeptical about IVs and here's why...
    I just evolved a load of pokes on a lucky egg. I'd carefully shifted them first based on IV, trying for over 90%, but settling for over 80. One thing I noticed, as you say, was the move-set really outweighed the IV. With limited stardust, so did the starting CP. I kind of wished I didn't pay so much attention to IV in the first place, as aside from pokes from eggs, those with excellent IVs didn't generally get good move-sets and I think I'd thrown away some potentially really good ones. (This is easier to revise with things like Psyduck or Eeevee, that are easy to evolve straight to something powerful without needing too much candy).
    So here is my theory - could IV sometimes be really high to compensate for a poor move-set, to balance what would otherwise be weaker pokemon? In a mass-appeal game like this, they couldn't afford for people to to put all their time and effort (and maybe even money) into leveling up inherently bad pokemon, so maybe poor move-sets often have high IVs and possibly good move-sets poorer ones, though not necessarily bad ones. Most players can't be expected and are in fact actively discouraged from going into the IV issue, so they can't design the game for those who choose to anyway. Now of course it may all be completely random and my theory is wrong. There could still be the rare perfect IV and perfect moveset pokemon out there. But still, searching for perfect IVs is a distraction from move-sets and can lead to a disappointing experience, especially if you can't get the monster again easily.
    So what to do? More research is needed, but for now I'll put starting CP and having egg origins before IV and keep average IV ones, but still throw out those with poor IV. Why? Because in the long term, it may have some value, especially if there is head-to-head combat. I imagine that will have a lot more balancing to make it playable and weaker move-sets will be much more usable, perhaps even IV differences won't be counted, who knows? In fact, there could even be more balancing generally in gameplay to help pokemon with seemingly poor move-sets, or better still the ability to learn new moves.

    • @trnrtips
      @trnrtips  8 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      +Gideon Davidson I answered this in another comment, but since you took the time to write such a well-thought out theory, I'll answer here as well.
      The idea that bad movesets are meant to balance out with good IVs assumes that Niantic had any clue what they were doing when it came to creating moves. The state of imbalance among moves at launch says to me that Niantic didn't even consider DPS when deciding how much damage each move would deal or how long the animations would be. I think the community's early outcry about how broken some moves were was the first time Niantic even thought about it.
      It seems to me that balance is the last thing on their minds right now. Aiming their attempts at creating balance between Pokémon of the same species is a terrible idea compared to improving balance among all species of Pokémon.
      That said, I've stated before that Niantic is weak when it comes to game design, so if that is in fact their intention, they're doing it all wrong. But for now, I think it was just a string of bad luck. There are plenty of examples of people having Pokémon with both high IVs and good movesets.

    • @perfectfutures
      @perfectfutures 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks for the fast response! It seems from what you're saying that they thought in terms of short/middle/long special moves only, not realising that dps would make the long, powerful moves generally the only desirable ones, except for some very powerful medium-length ones? That does seem to be the case. A lot of this is down to the AI defender strategies, though, which I'm sure will be updated. They definitely want the game to flow and give newbies a chance, but with the serious players making the backbone of the game they have to respect their strategies and effort, too.
      As for the IVs, I did see some other successes with high IV evolutions on TH-cam so you're right, that happens, too. Perhaps the best attributes are rarer, or just random? The thing is, I'd just read some accounts of people getting twister even three times in a row evolving from magicarp with near perfect IVs and it made me wonder. I myself got dragon pulse, which isn't too bad, on a 90% one and with such an evolution, I wonder if another magicarp I had with slightly higher CP would have been better or worse? But unless it's Niantic actually trying to punish people for accessing the data, that is the random number generator for you...
      All I know is, I'll just use it to eliminate the weak ones, not to find perfect ones, as I'm not sure how useful (or reliable) the info is and I'll focus more on finding higher CP ones to evolve from first. It's too much to worry much about right now (for me). More farming and leveling up! As for Niantic, I hope they give us a way to learn more move-sets, or make the lesser ones more meaningful. Right, they should improve the balance between species first.
      Anyway thanks so much for taking time to get back and thanks for your amazing vids from Hawaii, what a place to hunt Pokemon!

    • @perfectfutures
      @perfectfutures 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Ha ha! Well okay in short- there seems to be a lot of cases of high IV pokemon evolving with poor move-sets (like in this video), so I'm wondering if there is some connection, or it's really just the RNG? I wondered if one is to balance the other in some way. Certainly, move-sets are much more important, so I won't pay too much attention to IV myself, except for not evolving the monsters with low IVs.

    • @hordenews1750
      @hordenews1750 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you want the perfect pokemon as of today then you need to check its IV 1st (ideal 100%), then evolve to max, after evolving to max you need to get the perfect move sets; ideally the most DPS (damage per second) moves. After you have 100% IV and perfect moves, then you upgrade. Then you also need to be Dragonite.

Especially with modern day Pokemon GO game play. Hope you see this and can address this in a new short video. Thanks for all your videos and your involvement in the Pokemon GO community.

    I feel you man, I started playing in 2016, struggled to catch 300 Magikarps. I even found a 100 IV one, but when I evolved the 3 best Magikarps to 3 Gyarados, I got the worst move set on 2, including the 100% one, and the second worst move set in the last one.
    This + the fact that I could only find 3 dratinis in all my time playing (my goals were to evolve a Strong Gyarados, and to evolve a strong Dragonite) made me quit the game.

    I'm still trying to figure this out, so for example the Rhydon evolution at 2:46 was said to have perfect IV's but only evolved to CP 1281.
    The Arch Potential looks like it has about 15% more you can power up which would make it around 1500 CP max.
    So if IV's at max doesn't give you the potentials of over 2k CP like I always see in the Gyms, what determines it?

    • @trnrtips
      @trnrtips  8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      +Ty Budd Perfect IVs means it will have the highest possible CP when fully powered up (level 41.5). Right now it's only level 20, but it will have higher CP than any other level 20 Rhydon.

    • @stijn7273
      @stijn7273 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Ty Budd Seems like you're confused with the fact that max CP is different for each species. A perfect IV Rhydon will max out at 2243.22. A max Dragonite caps at 3500.06. It's just a better pokémon than Rhydon, period.
      Unless you actually meant that you see a lot of 2k+ Rhydon's in gym's, which seems rather unlikely since the owner would have to be level 37+ or so ;-).

    @RyuHero 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I refuse to use stardust. If you put your Pokemon into any of the calculators, it takes a ton of stardust to cap them out, that alone is reason enough for me to wait till I hit lvl 30 before I start actually building a team. I am lvl 25 and I have 407,000 stardust, my highest pokemon is still in the 2000s just by evolving. I realize that that gives others the leg up on me when it comes to battling, but until P v P comes out and until they make more meta-game adjustments, I don't see a reason to waste my resources.

    • @RyuHero
      @RyuHero 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well thank you! Hopefully Professor Nick and Professor Juan are right about the reworking of stats. Luckily for you, Porygon will be able to evolve once in Gen 2 and again in Gen 4, you may have to wait awhile, but someday that could turn into an investment!

      Nate C
      I.v. are the individual values. So in Pokemon go there are only three attack, HP ,and defense. They max out at 15. So a 100% is 15 for all three. There are programs that allow you to check, but you will know right away when appraising. So for team valor it will say. your Pokemon is simply amazing it's hp is it's strongest feature, I'm just as impressed with it's attack, I'm just as impressed with it's defense, I'm blown away by it's stats.

    • @Catamount1412
      @Catamount1412 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since this comment seems to be getting a bit of attention, here's my approach: you need to catch lots to evolve, so don't evolve until you have everything. For a 2-stager this is obvious, but for a 3 stager for instance, if you want a Charizard, keep collecting charmanders until you have those 125 candies. Do not evolve a Charmeleon. Then you have a bigger pool of charmanders and a better chance of one being really good. The trick is that simple; catch catch catch. You still won't get lots of 100%, but you'll get some 90s, and maybe a 100% here or there.
      Also, the difference is almost negligible. The 0-15 gets added to the base stat. So if the base stat is 225, then it's a difference between 225 and 240. Sure, that means the 225 is 9% weaker, but that's a 0% IV! If it's an 80% then that means it's 237 vs 240. It's literally 98.75% as strong.

I still have not evolved any of my Pokémon. So, I still need to test whether evolving them will give me a better Move Set.
