Trainers on iOS, rejoice! The popular Poke Genie app has introduced a mode that rates IVs for PvP usage, rather than rating it as a general 0-100% IV score! IVs work differently in PvP (Great and Ultra league in particular), as you want to pack as much stats under the CP limit as possible.
We’ve written about this in our Trainer Battles Academy: Best IVs for PvP article, check it out for more information. Players using Android have had this functionality for a while now through CalcyIV.

Introducing PvP IV!
Did you know? High IV may not be optimal for PvP in Great & Ultra Leagues. The optimal IV for PvP is a very specific combination that maximizes battle performance below the CP limit and is different for each Pokemon. Poke Genie now rates your Pokemon’s PvP IV! Don’t transfer until you’ve checked the PvP IV! Don’t miss those hidden gems.
