I have only recently gotten back into Pokemon and started reading up on competitive battling.
Most of the shit I've read makes sense to me, but when it came to IVs I encountered something that confuses me:
Apparently people are still going great lengths to breed pokemon with 6 perfect IVs in Sun/Moon and I have even seen people deem pokemon "not competitive" because of bad IVs. Why is this still the case when hyper-training exists in Sun/Moon?
IVs no longer determine the strength of hidden power, so as long as hidden power has the correct type why would you care if your pokemon has something like 5/6/4/12/2/7 IVs instead of 31/31/31/31/31/31? Farming bottle caps seems to be much less of a hassle than breeding for perfect IVs.
Am I missing something?
