Appraise your Pokémon to find the best IVs possible!
(iMore iPhone)

Appraisal is a function in Pokémon Go that lets you get an idea of how strong an individual Pokémon can become beyond just its `CP,` or Combat Points. While Combat Points (which are effectively a Pokémon`s `level`) can tell you how strong a Pokémon is at the moment, they don`t give the entire picture. You need to understand something called `IVs` to know how strong they can become over time. Appraisal lets you do that. IVs, or `Individual Values,` are invisible stats that determine how much a Pokémon`s stats (HP, Attack, and Defense) will rise each time they are Powered Up. Each Pokémon has a different IV for each of the three stats, and the best and strongest Pokémon have `100%` IVs, meaning all of their IVs are at the highest they can possibly be. Short of trading a Pokémon away forever, you cannot change its IVs either, so most players will choose to send low IV Pokémon off to Professor Willow in exchange for candies.
