Pokémon Go introduces the appraisal feature in its latest update. Let your virtual team leader Candela, Blanche or Spark determine how good is your Pokémon by analyzing the hidden Individual Value (IV) of each Pokémon’s attack, defence and stamina.
Though the answer is a bit vague as it will only tell you which is the strongest attribute out of the three stats. But it is quite helpful to roughly see whether your Pokémon is worthy of an upgrade or evolve.
You can determine what is your Pokémon’s IV range from your team leader’s first sentence of analysis after the introduction.
