Pokemon With Max IVs Can Appear in Sword and Shield’s Wild Area
Pokemon min-maxers, rejoice! You'll be able to find Pokemon with maximum IV values in the wild in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
In a recent Sword and Shield preview, Eurogamer discovered Pokemon with faint yellow auras wandering around the world. Similar to the glowing red and blue auras Pokemon in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee could appear with, Pokemon with glowing yellow auras are special.
Check out our own preview of the first 90 minutes of Pokemon Sword and Shield below.
Instead of being larger or smaller than your average Pokemon, those with yellow auras have several IVs with maximum values (the maximum IV for each stat is 31). "They have Egg Moves rather than regular ones, too," Eurogamer said, "It could potentially make looking for competitively viable Pokemon far easier." Eurogamer also confirmed that flavor text which pops up at the beginning of the battle will indicate the extent of their strength, likely meaning how many perfect stats the Pokemon has.
