>>42684420>>42684463Here's an example of said optimisation.
A Skarmory with 14/15/15 IVshits 1496 CP at level 25, sounds great right?
It's still good, but it's 95.46% as good as the optimal result.
A perfect Skarmory will have 0/15/14 IVs, which hits 1500 CP at level 27.5.
It's better than the former by having +8 defense and +5 stamina, at the expense of -5 attack. The stat total is 8 points higher despite the near-identical CP range.
And again, bulk weighs far more heavily in PvP than attack does.
But seriously, doesn't stress perfection, this is just minute optimisation. Anything that is high rank like <100 is useful, you're better of catching something that's as close to as 1500 as it can be with minimal candy/stardust investment and using that.
