I don't exactly know how to get perfect IVs and stuff, but it ranges from 0~31.
If a base stat of a pokemon was like 80, and it had 30 IVs for that stat, un-EV'd, it would have 110 of that stat.
The pokemon characteristics help identify their main IV stat.
Can't help much past that.
Each stat has a certain IV.
It IS possible to get a certain amount of IVs on a pokemon I tihnk, to near perfect, but its REALLY hard and random.
Power item breeding allows you to get a certain characteristic (Anklet would give you a characteristic that will benefit you in speed), and I think the characteristic a pokemon has (Such as often dozes off) means it has 31 in that stat.
But that's just one stat.
If you feel like digging back in time, you can check the IV's of a pokemon in Emerald version. there are many drawbacks to this, first and foremost that you can NOT trade from D/P/Pt BACK TO Emerald, only forward via pal park.
theres an NPC that looks like a karate guy, he can check and evaluate the IV's of a pokemon. he rates them as good, great, poor, bad, and something else iirc, and then says which stat stands out most to him, which would be what stat that IV is for.
