How to Calculate IVs for Trainer Fights in Pokémon GO
All Pokémon have a series of attributes that differentiate them from each other: attack, defense, and he alth. Each of them determines its status in relation to others of the same species. This is called IVs (Individual Values), a key feature in Pokémon Go to know if the pieces you've captured are ready for action. And you have to dispose of the strongest Pokémon will allow you to knock down your rivals and claim victory during battles with other trainers.
Don't confuse IVs with combat points. The seconds only serve little to know the level of the Pokémon that you are going to capture. If you have a Pokémon with more combat points, it does not mean that it has more power, he alth or defends itself better. There is no point in having a Pokémon with a lot of combat points if its IVs are very low. Therefore, to have the strongest, it serves to fulfill the gyms and has a good mix of features, keep an eye on the IVs. The problem is that it is impossible to know in advance what they are. First you have to get hold of it and then calculate them.

That is, you will not have to capture it before to know what they are.In this way, if you are not interested in having it, you will not waste time.
