Someone explain the IV meme to me. So CP means combat power and it's an aggeragate of all combat stats which is supposed to mean it has X HP, SPD, ATK, DEF, etc right? So while a 100% IV Pokemon might reach a CP value faster, it doesn't matter once they're both equal right? Example:
I have a 1800 Golduck with 20% IV that's lvl 30
I have a 1800 Golduck with 100% IV that's 26
I made those numbers up but since CP is just an equation that takes all stats into account, doesn't that mean that they will perform equally or are IVs hidden stats added on top of the CP calculations?
