What this site does

Six free tools, all run entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is sent to a server:

• PvP IV Checker — enter the exact Attack/Defense/Stamina IVs you already know (from an in-game appraisal, another checker, etc.) for a species, and see its rank in Little Cup, Great League, Ultra League, and Master League all at once, with quick links to jump to its evolutions or pre-evolutions without re-entering the IVs. Ranked by stat product (Attack × Defense × HP at the highest level that fits under a league's CP cap) — the same approach used by tools like GOIV.app and Dittobase.
• PvP IV Rankings — the same stat-product math, run the other direction: ranks every possible IV combination (0–15 in Attack, Defense, and Stamina) for a species. It is not a full battle-simulated meta ranking like PvPoke's "Rankings" page, which additionally factors in movesets, shields, and simulated matchups against the current meta.
• Functional Hundo Checker — HP is rounded down to a whole number, so a 15/15/14 Pokémon can sometimes show the exact same HP as a true 15/15/15, depending on species and level.
• Hundo CP Checker — shows a 100% IV (15/15/15) Pokémon's raid-catch CP: level 20 normally, or level 25 with weather boost (calculated 5 levels higher, per Niantic's weather boost mechanic), alongside its non-shiny and shiny art.
• Evolution CP Preview — enter a species, its exact IVs, and its current CP (the level itself isn't shown in-game, so CP is what a player actually has to work with), and see the CP each stage of its evolution line would be at that same level — a quick way to check whether an evolution is worth the candy before you spend it.
• Promo Codes — a hand-curated list of currently active Pokémon GO promo codes, each with a one-tap copy button and a direct link to redeem it on Niantic's official store.

Data & art sources

• Species base stats and league CP caps are sourced from PvPoke's open-source, MIT-licensed gamemaster.json, and the CP multiplier table is pulled from PvPoke's own client code — the same reference data that project uses.
• Sprite artwork is sourced from PokeAPI/sprites, a CC0-licensed compilation. The underlying character artwork remains the property of The Pokémon Company / Nintendo / Game Freak — CC0 covers the compilation, not the character designs themselves.
• Promo codes are entered by hand as they're announced and spot- checked periodically — each one shows the date it was last confirmed to work. Codes can be region-locked, one-time-use, or expire without notice; if one doesn't work for you, that's Niantic's redemption system, not this site.
