A friendly reminder after two trades I have recently had have left me unsatisfied:
When you advertise how many IVs your pokemon has, you are advertising the amount of USABLE IVs it has.
For example, I have a load of "5IV" noibats, but one IV is in attack. This is not counted when I advertise, so they are traded as "4 IV" pokemon.
It's the reason "hexaperfect" even exists, because a pokemon can be said to be perfect when the attack stat that it won't use is non-max but everything else is 31.
Just letting you know. It's frustrating when you give something with 4 good IVs and then get a bergmite with a special attack IV.
