Ever since "Pokémon GO" came out earlier this month, the game has soared heights that no other mobile game has ever reached. While many believe that they can only get as much as they see in the augmented reality game, there's more than just capturing the pocket monsters.

Over the past few days, players have come across this term: "individual values," or IVs for short. Some don't bother to know what these are but they are actually a significant factor to keep Pokémon on top of the game.

iDigital Times describes IVs as secret digits which have been integrated into each Pokémon, and the numbers determine how a Pokémon grows and evolves through time. IVs in other titles from the Pokémon Company have been discovered in the past, and this time, Niantic has decided to infuse the secret statistics into "Pokémon GO" as well.

Since calculating IVs to determine which Pokémon is more precious to the game than the other is often tricky and complicated, some serious fans on Reddit have come up with calculators that will help other players calculate their Pokémon's secret digits.

TheSilphRoad has provided not just one, but two calculators for players to check out.

Calculating individual values may not be a big deal to some, but serious and earnest players will understand its importance. One of the benefits that IV calculators bring is the ability to establish which Pokémon under a certain species is stronger or much more valuable than the other. It is important to understand that not every pocket monster has been helmed to be the best among the rest. IV calculators will help a player know which Pokémon has more chances of being the best.

"Pokémon GO" is probably the most popular mobile title this year. However, it is also the most controversial due to people taking unimaginable steps just to play the game full-time. On the other hand, the Niantic game has also gained good reviews in just a few weeks, and despite the hack last week, it seems there's no stopping its popularity.
