The verdicts

What the chip says

HUNDOA perfect 15/15/15.

PVPGood IVs for a league where the species, or what it evolves into, is actually used.

RAIDSA top attacker of its type, Shadows included.

KEEPGood IVs, worth keeping.

TRANSFERNothing special.

Tap the chip for the full card: IVs and level, PvP ranks for the Pokémon and its evolutions, what each power-up costs, and plain steps such as "Evolve to Gardevoir" or "Power up to Lv 40 for raids".

Three steps

How it works

Start the bubble in IV Lens. Android asks you to allow screen capture first.
Open a Pokémon in the game. A small chip gives the verdict by itself.
When several IVs fit, open the game's Appraise screen. IV Lens reads the three bars and pins the exact IVs.

Hands-free

Set it and play

Auto-scan

Open a Pokémon and the verdict shows up by itself. No tapping, no screenshots. The bubble still scans by hand when you want it to.

Auto save

Every Pokémon the chip reads lands in your Saved list, once each, and updates when the moves or exact IVs come in. Turn it on in Settings.

Your rules

Decide what counts as a keeper, so the verdicts match how you play.

In Settings you can change:

PvP keeper: top 25 to 200
PvP species: top 50 to 200
Raid keeper: top 10 to 50
Keep IVs from 67, 82 or 91%
Best buddy PvP ranks
Your trainer level
Reading the level arc
Theme: phone, light or dark
Export and import

Calculator

Check any Pokémon by hand.

Saved list

Search, filters and sorting, with export and import to back it up or move phones.

Ranks

The best raid attackers per type and the top PvP picks per league, with their best IVs.

Copy name

A short name with the IVs, to paste when renaming a Pokémon in the game.

Light and dark

Follows your phone, or pick one.

Your data

Private by design

No internet access at all, so nothing it sees can leave your phone.
It captures the screen only while the bubble is on, reads each image on the phone, and never saves or sends it.
Your saved Pokémon and settings stay on your phone.
No ads, no purchases, no account, no analytics.

Before you start

Good to know

For now the game must be set to English.
IV Lens only reads the screen. It never taps or plays for you.
