Is Hyper Training the only way to maximize IVs on a Pokemon?

Question

SO I have a bunch of good Pokemon, with great Natures, but they all have not the best IV's. Is Hyper Training the only way I can get them better IV's? I also don't have any Max IV Dittos I can use to breed.

Comments

Sorry but Hyper Training is the only way (unless you hack :P).

Hyper training is the only legitimate way to max IVs on a Pokemon

If you can breed, you could definitely get Max IVs without a 6 IV Ditto. :P

This article is a little outdated, but still works: https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/xy_breeding

I required sources on most of my questions

Answer 1

Like EVs, Individual Values also have a large effect on the stats of your Pokémon. However, unlike EVs, you cannot change the IVs of your Pokémon.

Hyper Training (Japanese: すごいとっくん Amazing Intensive Training) is a method of Pokémon training that allows the player to maximize one or more of a Pokémon's IVs through intensive training. This feature was introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Prior to Generation 7, there was no possible way to change a Pokemon’s IVs. Hyper Training became the first method for raising IVs, and is currently the only way to do so.
