Pokémon GO Purify Calculator
Apply the verified purification IV increase and see which Shadow stats reach 15.
Preview purified IVs
91.1% IV after adding two to each stat, capped at 15
This result applies only the deterministic +2 IV purification rule. Shadow damage bonuses, Stardust/Candy discounts, move changes, purification level, and battle value are separate mechanics and are not folded into the IV percentage.
What the Pokémon GO Purify Calculator calculates
The Pokémon GO Purify Calculator answers the deterministic appraisal question: what will this Shadow Pokémon’s Attack, Defense, and Stamina IVs become after purification? Each stat gains two points but cannot exceed 15.
The page deliberately isolates IVs. Shadow attack/defense battle modifiers, Return, resource discounts, and the Pokémon’s post-purification level are separate decisions with different assumptions.

How This Pokémon GO Purify Calculator Works01+
For each stat, purified IV = min(15, Shadow IV + 2). The new percentage is the purified sum divided by 45. A 14 does not become 16; both 13 and 14 stop at the cap of 15.
No CP is shown because a defensible prediction must also lock the current purification-level rule and current Pokémon state. The smaller verified result is preferable to false precision.
Worked Example for the Pokémon GO Purify Calculator02+
A Shadow Pokémon with 13 Attack, 14 Defense, and 7 Stamina becomes 15/15/9. The first two fields reach the cap, Stamina gains exactly two, and the appraisal rises from 75.6% to 86.7%. This fixture is covered by an automated test.
How to Use the Pokémon GO Purify Calculator Result03+
Use the output as one input to the keep-or-purify decision. A perfect purified appraisal can still perform differently from the original Shadow because battle bonuses and costs are not represented by three IV numbers.
Pokémon GO Purify Calculator Accuracy and Limitations04+
Niantic can alter purification mechanics or offer event bonuses. The calculator does not claim a Pokémon can be purified, does not value exclusive moves, and never adds the Shadow damage multiplier to IVs.
Purification IV cap examples
Every stat is handled independently.
| Shadow IV | After +2 | Purified IV |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 9 | 9 |
| 12 | 14 | 14 |
| 13 | 15 | 15 |
| 14–15 | 16–17 before cap | 15 |

Yes. A 13 gains two and lands exactly at the 15-point cap.
Does the Pokémon GO Purify Calculator include Shadow bonuses?
