IV Scanner

IV Scanner adds a handheld device to Cobblemon that helps you evaluate a Pokemon’s genetic quality and competitive value before catching it.

Instead of numbers, the scanner uses ratings, colors and visual cues to help you decide if a Pokémon is worth catching or investing in.


 

    How It Works

Hold the scanner to search for nearby wild Pokémon with 1 or more perfect IV. (option to search for 1,2,3 or 4 perfect IVs before the sounds/light is triggered)

The antenna blinks green faster as you get closer.

An optional beeping sound that gets faster as you get closer. (can be turned of by right clicking while holding the scanner)

Your own Pokémon (party roaming, pasture) are ignored by detection so you never hunt what you already own.

When you are very close and looking at a Pokémon, a HUD appears.
The HUD works on both wild and owned Pokémon for intentional inspection.


⭐ Rating System

All ratings use color grading from red yellowgreen

the star system means that 1 star= 1 perfect IV, 2 stars=2 perfect IVs, 3 stars=3 perfect IVs and 3 red stars=4+ perfect IVs


Overall 

General IV quality.

This is done so you do not pass up on pokemon that have alot of potential and good IVs but just none that are perfect.

Horrible → Bad → Average → Good → Great → Perfect


IV Spread 

How evenly IVs are distributed.

Low → Balanced → High


Competitive (At the moment) 

How viable the Pokémon is right now, without investment.

Strict and honest

Heavily penalizes catastrophic IVs

IV-based only (no abilities, moves, or species bias)


Competitive Potential (Red → Yellow → Green)

How good the Pokémon could become with IV candies/bottle caps (see my other mod)

Ready (Green) – 0 bad IVs

High Potential (Green) – 1 bad IV

Good Potential (Yellow) – 2 bad IVs

Costly Fix (Orange) – 3 bad IVs

Low Potential (Red) – 4+ bad IVs

This takes into consideration how costly it will be for you to raise the pokemon IVs to make it good and viable.
