If you want to breed or train Pokemon effectively in Brilliant Diamond, checking their IVs (Individual Values) is crucial. IVs determine a Pokemon’s potential in various stats, such as HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. The higher the IV in a specific stat, the better the Pokemon will perform in that area. Here’s how you can check IVs in Brilliant Diamond:
**To check IVs in Brilliant Diamond, you need to visit the Pokemon Nursery on Route 212. Inside the nursery, talk to the Ace Trainer near the fence, and ask him to check the IVs of your Pokemon. He will evaluate your Pokemon’s potential in each stat and give you a general idea of their IVs. Keep in mind that he will only comment on the IVs of fully trained Pokemon at level 100.**
