-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:
