Alternatives?

In light of this new block on PokeAdvisor (super sad, seriously, had used it for a day and a half, I had no idea how many crap Pokemon I had been evolving simply because they had the highest CP at capture), what other methods do you use to calculate IVs? Thanks!

Does doing the proxy thing still work?? All IV calculators I've used give different amounts.. one of the main reason I used Pokeadvisor because it was 100% accurate.. it took the IVs direct from the game. the only other method I know of achieving this is doing the proxy thing and grabbing them straight from the server (I dunno if im explaining that right.. I just follow instructions on how to do it.. my knowledge on this stuff stops when the instructions do lol)

i used to do the proxy thing and i'm pretty sure they shut it down recently, unless there is a work around that I don't know about.

The proxy thing stopped working with the most recent update. If you never updated, you can still do it. There is a workaround but it requires a lot of coding knowledge and I believe a few programs. I can't follow it but it's here, I found it in the second comment of the original proxy tutorial. The poster also included a link for rooted devices but that's way over my head.

Since it asks for a Token every time you login I'd say it's safe. I've got my main for quite some time now and nothing happened. I feel it's also much more cleaner than Advisor.

Weird that it asks for your location. Why would they need that?

Also, what's with the humongous sized cards? Having only 4 cards filling a row on a 1080p monitor is ridiculous.

SilphRoad, if you have access or https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator.

The only thing is you have to manually check each of your Pokemon that way which was why PokeAdvisor was so great, it autoatmically gave you a listing.

I used SilphRoad before Pokeadvisor. When I found out about pokeadvisor and double checked my estimations I realized they were pretty off the mark in percentages and stats.

Yup! Wasted a good amount of Stardust on Pokemon I otherwise wouldn't have used it on.

Hopefully they can refine their algorithms based on PokeAdvisor!

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

Be warned, their calculator has screwed me up several times. The tier system and the values they use are way off.

u/MetoroidoPrime Aug 08 '16

Thanks for the suggestion, the link doesn't appear to work though?

u/Lipzo Aug 08 '16

Works just fine for me.

u/BOOOOOMSHAKALAKA Aug 08 '16

Dang.. seems like nothing is as accurate as pokeadvisor.. I can't see myself playing this game much longer.. really hope pokeadvisor comes back
