‘Pokemon GO’ Cheats, Tips And Tricks: Miss PokeAdvisor? Here Are Pokemon IV Calculator Alternatives

The Poke quest with "Pokemon GO" received a huge boost from Pokemon Individual Values (IV) calculators. However, the most common go-to online Pokemon IV calculator for "Pokemon GO" players, PokeAdvisor was recently blocked Niantic.

This sent "Pokemon GO" players in a bit of a tizzy as PokeAdvisor had been, more or less, one of the most accurate Pokemon IV calculators to be made. This had been made possible as PokeAdvisor directly accessed Pokemon and player stats from the "Pokemon GO" server.

Earn The Necklace reports that the PokeAdvisor block had been among the recent crack down that Niantic enacted against sites that made Pokemon tracking easier for "Pokemon GO" players. Nonetheless, other online tools that serve as Pokemon IV calculator exist.

IV calculators are tools that allow "Pokemon GO" players to assess the individual hidden values of each Pokemon. As The Guardian reports the hidden values are three types (defense IV, attack IV and stamina IV) and knowing these values allows "Pokemon GO" players to assess their Pokemon Combat Power (CP) and Hit Power (HP).

According to the media agency, The Silph Road IV calculator is among the best alternatives for "Pokemon GO" players right now. Among the best features of The Silph Road IV calculator is its ability to assist new "Pokemon GO" players to easily understand Pokemon IV rating.

The Silph Road also offers an Advanced Mode in their Pokemon IV calculator. The Guardian reports that The Silph Road Research directly interacts with the Reddit community to fine tune their Pokemon IV calculator.

Earn The Necklace points out that Pokemon IV calculators that do not rely on direct access of data from Niantic's "Pokemon GO" servers have a better chance of staying in business. Other alternative hidden value calculators that "Pokemon GO" players can use are PokeAssistant, GoStats and IV Calculator.
