Can you level-up IV stats and, if so, how?

Question

Can you level-up Pokemon IV stats. As I have a Lucario with 16 from the 31 HP IV, can I make the IV up to 17/31 IV or higher?

Its in Violet.

In recent generation games, you can IV train with Hyper Training, which maxes out your IVs.

How you can?

just obtain a bottle cap, then give it to the hyper training guy in your game. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hyper_Training

Is that difficult, or not?

depends on the game really. You can buy them with cash in SV, but most other games have them as battle point rewards

Answer 1

The only way to “level up” IVs is to use Bottle Caps. Since the introduction of Bottle Caps in Generation 7, they’ve become more accessible in game ( in SV you can purchase one for 20,000 Pokedollars ).

They max out one stat’s IV value, however, a Gold Bottle Cap can max out all of a Pokemon’s IVs at once. Gold Bottle Caps cannot be purchased directly, however, you can obtain them through the Porto Marinada Auction & the Academy Ace Tournament in the base game, and by registering 210 Pokemon in the Blueberry Pokedex, the Terrarium, and the Item Printer in Indigo Disk.

The process of using Bottle Caps to increase IVs is called Hyper Training, which can be done in Violet by speaking with the man with the Abomasnow near the Montenevera Pokemon Center.
