Everyone in the working world hates ‘Appraisals’. Unfortunately, our adorable Pokemon in Pokemon Go aren’t spare of this cruel treatment.

What Are Pokemon Appraised On? 

Before we do that, let’s first find out what these Pokemon are appraised on. Well, every Pokémon species has a set amount of Attack, Defense and Stamina. However, Individual Value  stat bonuses set Pokémon of the same species apart from one another. For example, every Snorlax will have set stats of:

Stamina: 320
Attack: 180
Defense: 180

With Individual Values (IVs), a Snorlax may have anywhere from 0 – 15 extra stat points for each stat for a max total of 45 extra stat points. This means that a Snorlax with perfect stats would have the following:

Stamina: 335 (+15)
Attack: 195 (+15)
Defense: 195 (+15)

These significance of these statistics are as follow:

– Higher Stamina = Pokémon will have More Hit Points
– Higher Attack = Pokémon will deal more Damage during Gym Battles
– Higher Defense = Pokémon will take Reduced Damage from enemies’ attacks

So what exactly does it mean when your respective Team Leaders make remarks like ‘Overall, your Snorlax simply amazes me. It can accomplish anything!’? That is what we will be helping you decode below.

According to information reported by Pokemon GO Gamepress, the first statement will let you know where your Pokemon stands in its species ‘bell curve’ (yeah, we all hate that word. Stop being so competitive!). So when my Team Leader Candela tells me that ‘Overall, your Snorlax simply amazes me. It can accomplish anything!’, I should be thrilled that my Snorlax falls under the Top 82.2% to 100% of its species. He is a keeper and deserves my hard-earned stardust and candies!
