Okay, anyone who is playing the new Pokémon games, I’m kind of at a loss for words… I’m just a casual more or less, I didn’t play any of these old games when I was younger. I did play X/Y and Sun/Moon some, but never beat either one. So here I am now, addicted immediately.

I named my adorable little critter bff Rey and was lucky that it was indeed a girl! I looked it up and apparently the chances of getting a female (let alone on first try) are obnoxiously low.

OH MY GOD HOW CUTE IS THIS. So I use her all the time. Everywhere. She’s like… one hitting everything and barely getting hurt from enemy attacks. I’m like… is this normal? She is so strong and brave and sturdy! She’s level 25 and I have the ability to “judge” Pokémon now. I’m curious how this little girl fares…

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?!?! Does everyone’s starter Pokémon have stats like this? Am I in some weird dream land?!?! I feel like this game is super easy because of this beast, if I had the other game would Pikachu have stats like this? This is unreal. I wish my Chespin in Y had these stats, I struggled a lot with that damn thing.

OP got a perfect IV female eevee on their first try, reblog for luck

Just to put this into perspective for non-hardcore Pokémon players, when the game generates a Pokémon, it also generates a random number between 0 and 31 for each of its six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed), called “Individual Values” or IVs. The higher the number, the better the stat will be. An IV of 0 means you get 0 extra points in that stat by Level 100, while an IV of 31 means you get 31 extra points. This can make a huge difference, especially in competitive play, where every single point counts. (A Pokémon with 30 IVs in Speed will always be slower than an identical Pokémon with 31 IVs in Speed, for example.)

Unless it’s been adjusted in Let’s Go for the starters, the probability of getting a Pokémon with all six IVs of 31 is 1 in 1,073,741,824.

The chance of getting a female Eevee (which is important for breeding) is 1 in 8, bringing the chances of a perfect IV female Eevee to 1 in 8,589,934,592.
