"Pokemon GO" players have been treated to numerous added features with recent regular updates from Niantic, especially after the company went hard on third-party apps for using its live servers. The latest update enables team leaders to be interactive as it provides guides and hints to each and every player.
Also, the latest "Pokemon GO" Appraisal feature provides important stats and allows players to analyze their Pokemon. The system analyses a Pokemon's potential based on its Individual Values. To make it simpler, the stat system gauges a Pokemon's future strength at peak levels and not its current status.
According to a report on Polygon, "Pokemon GO" communities have collected the recurring phrases spoken by team leaders Spark, Candela and Blanche. The report also provides approximate ranges for the individual value (IV) statistics of a Pokémon based on what the trainer's leader has to say.
IVs are hidden statistics that indicate a Pokemon's natural battling talent. All three teams consist of Valor, Instinct and Mystic though their values are still identical. The "Pokemon GO" Appraisal tool will allow Niantic to calculate one's Pokemon's stat line, write iTech Post.
This is apparently based on the lines "Pokemon GO" team leaders throw whenever they are recommended a Pokemon. The first line would determine a Pokemon's IV whereas the second line the Individual stats.
The "Pokemon GO" Appraisal tool is very effective for players who are thorough with their Pokemon's performance during battles. However, if the tool is compared with a third-party app, the tool will only provide an estimated range value. The Appraisal tool is one of the easiest ways to determine a Pokemon's stat line.
The tool is also crucial in Gym battles as it increases chances of success. Implementing the system is a brilliant move on Niantic's part to ease up the backlash caused by the company's clean-up drive. The system would be most-beneficial for "Pokemon GO" players looking to constantly capture and defend Pokemon Gyms for their teams.
