Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond stats; they determine [[Hidden Power]] type, whether or not the Pokémon has [[alternate color]]ing, gender, among other things. In GSC, a DV is a number between 0 and 15, inclusive, 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 | Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond stats; they determine [[Hidden Power]] type, whether or not the Pokémon has [[alternate color]]ing, gender, among other things.

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 Pokémon 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. The Special DV works for both Special Attack and Special Defense, in GSC. | ||
For instance, 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. | For instance, 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.
