'''Individual strengths''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|生まれつきの強さ|うまれつきのつよさ}}}}''' ''innate strengths''), commonly referred to by fans as '''individual values''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|個体値|こたいち}}}}''' ''individual values'') and abbreviated as '''IVs''', are the Pokémon equivalent of {{wp|genes}}. They are instrumental in determining the [[stats]] of a Pokémon, being responsible for the large variation in stats among untrained Pokémon of the same species. In the context of [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, which have a different IV system, IVs are also referred to as '''determinant values''' (DVs). | '''Individual strengths''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|生まれつきの強さ|うまれつきのつよさ}}}}''' ''innate strengths''), commonly referred to by fans as '''individual values''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|個体値|こたいち}}}}''' ''individual values'') and abbreviated as '''IVs''', are the Pokémon equivalent of {{wp|genes}}.
