Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond just for stats; they determine Hidden Power type and Shiny Pokémon, as well. In GSC, a DV is a number from 0-15 that is randomly picked the first time you see a Pokémon. You can figure out DVs by figuring out the maximum and minimum possible stats, and figuring out how far off your stat is. For every 2 points off the max stat, subtract 1 DV point. The highest DV is 15, so a perfect pokemon would have all DV's of 15. Note that the [[Box trick]] may be useful in figuring out your actual DVs. There are DVs for 5 stats: Attack, Defense, Speed, Special, and HP. Special DV works for both Special Attack and Special Defense, in GSC. | |||

If the attack DV is 2,6,10, or 14, the HP DV will be 0. If the attack DV is 3,7,11, or 15, the HP DV will be 8. All of the other DV’s are always the same-a Shiney will never have a DV other than 10 in Defense, Speed, or Special categories. | |||

DVs determine gender as well; whatever the gender percentage is corresponds to an attack DV.

DVs, or IVs (Individual Values), are the Pokémon analogue of genes.
Overview
There are six DVs, one for each stat: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed.

Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond just for stats; they determine Hidden Power type and Shiny Pokémon, as well. In GSC, a DV is a number from 0-15 that is randomly picked the first time you see a Pokémon. You can figure out DVs by figuring out the maximum and minimum possible stats, and figuring out how far off your stat is. For every 2 points off the max stat, subtract 1 DV point. The highest DV is 15, so a perfect pokemon would have all DV's of 15. Note that the Box trick may be useful in figuring out your actual DVs. There are DVs for 5 stats: Attack, Defense, Speed, Special, and HP. Special DV works for both Special Attack and Special Defense, in GSC.
‘’’Ex’’’: A Dragonite, whose max attack is 366, has an attack of 360. That’s 6 off the max stat, so you’d subtract 3 from 15, which is a 12. Therefore, your Dragonite’s attack DV is 12. This can be repeated for all stats except HP. The HP DV is determined by the DVs of the other stats, as follows:
If a Pokémon’s attack DV is odd, add 8 to the HP DV
If a Pokémon’s defense DV is odd, add 4 to the HP DV
If a Pokémon’s speed DV is odd, add 2 to the HP DV
If a Pokémon’s special DV is odd, add 1 to the HP DV
A Shiny Pokémon’s DV’s are as follows:
Defense 10
Special 10
Speed 10
Attack either 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15
HP 0 or 8
If the attack DV is 2,6,10, or 14, the HP DV will be 0. If the attack DV is 3,7,11, or 15, the HP DV will be 8. All of the other DV’s are always the same-a Shiney will never have a DV other than 10 in Defense, Speed, or Special categories.
Also, all Shiney Pokémon will have either a Grass or a Dragon Hidden Power when taught TM10, Hidden Power.
DVs determine gender as well; whatever the gender percentage is corresponds to an attack DV. Males have DVs higher than that percent, and females lower. i.e., with 50% chance of being male in a species, a DV of 8 or above in attack will yield a male; 7 or below yields a female. When a species is 87.5% male, only a 0,1, or 2 Attack DV yields a female.
