I have a few Pichu that I need to sort through and was wondering if Pokemon have IVs in this game too?

#

I can't seem to post images yet so I can't use my screenshot to show what I am trying to ask about

Level 5, 318rp, quiet. Vs level 6, 298rp, mild.
Quiet says it lowers exp gains while mild lowers energy recovery. I feel like I'm missing something here.

While energy down does

RP stands for "Research Power" not rest points.
No, the game doesn't have any IVs. All the unique things about a Pokémon are visible: The specific ingredients list, the subskills, and the nature. Each of these things if unlocked will affect RP (in addition to the Pokémon itself and its level).

#

As you notice, the only thing that is different between the two besides the level is the nature. Experience down does not affect RP, while Energy down reduces RP it by 8%. That's why it has a lower RP despite having a higher level.
