Apparently IVs of wild Pokémon act differently now.

Interesting. I'm not sure how much this will really matter but it's a good idea anyway.

Just tested it. Confirmed.
For level30+ player, however, both CP and IV remain the same.
I guess now the map is less useful now, since most of their bots are < level 30. It will fail to give the IV for level 30+.

God forbid we didn't have maps, we would have to play the other way -- what are we to do! ?

Come on, bro. Stop it. Maps still work, you just don't have the influence and the info you once had to chase, just play the game.

Interesting. Maybe the idea is for it to be anti-spoofer?

No. This is not anti-spoofing.

This is anti-sniping and anti twitter bots. All those users that snipe 100% IV and pokemon with perfect move sets will now have random IVs and movesets.

But, this will only stop them for about a few weeks until a new hack is found.

RipNDip90 where are you now lol

All lvl 30+ players will get the same IVs and movesets according to the post

Agreed. Always a new hack in some weeks to come. Oh well, with or without a map, my game still strong.

Could you please copy paste the content of the article? I'm currently in Indonesia and it doesn't let me open reddit for some reason.

A few players in my area have noticed that IV, moveset, weight and height now appear to be different depending on your training level. Levels 30+ appears to have the same stats, as per how the CP level has behaved in the past. This seems to have just been implemented.

(From the guy in charge of silph road)

This is a confirmed, systemic change to how IV's, moveset, height and weight are encountered, travelers.

Apologies to those who tried to report this change and ran afoul of the Silph Road's automod filter for IV help requests! Didn't foresee this change coming!

For the official record: the first to report was /u/Marvel227 with this report, the first of many to fall afoul of the bot, but roughly 25 folks flooded /new within a few minutes with the exact same post. :)

Glad to see this change. Hope everyone's event was a success, travelers.
