Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond stats; they determine Hidden Power type, Shiny Pokémon, and Gender 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. The Special DV works for both Special Attack and Special Defense, in GSC. | Gold, Silver, and Crystal introduced the first major use of DVs beyond stats; they determine Hidden Power type, Shiny Pokémon, and Gender as well.
