GamePress

Possible bug in GamePress IV calculator, possibly due to rebalance?

I used the calculator to determine that two recently caught Beldums were 15/15/12 and 15/14/14 (S/A/D). After evolving them, I ran them through the calculator again, getting 15/15/11 and 15/14/13 respectively. Which calculation is correct?

Lucky it’s giving you some kind of IV , every time I try to see what the IV is on my slaking it just keeps saying something went wrong and all the info I put in is right , can anyone tell me why’s this?

What are the stats/appraisal of your Beldums?

Edit: I guess they aren't Beldum anymore, but still.

Appraisal for first (CP 2376):
Overall, your Metagross is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!
I see that its best attribute is its HP.
It is matched equally by its Attack.
Its stats exceed my calculations! It's incredible!

Appraisal for second (CP 1137):
Overall, your Metagross is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!
I see that its best attribute is its HP.
Its stats exceed my calculations! It's incredible!

What about the HP and stardust cost?

First: 2376 CP, 112 HP, 3500 dust
Second: 1137 CP, 77 HP, 1300 dust.

I looked into the first one. Calcy IV shows a combination of 15/15/13 with 2376 at level 23. However Gamepress shows 15/14/13 like you said. Sounds like the Gamepress calculator is bugged somehow.

UPDATE: Several weeks ago, I used the calculator to check on two hatched Beldums, determined to be 13/15/11 and 15/12/12. After evolving them today, the calculator gives the Oops! message for the former and evaluates the latter as either 15/12/11 or 15/13/9. Looks like the GamePress calculator is undercounting defence IV by one. (I am listing IVs as S/A/D since that is how the calculator does it.)

Alright, like like the first one might be 15s/15a/11d based on the Gamepress calculator with 2376 CP and 112 HP.

For the second one I'm getting 15s/14a/13d via Gamepress.

I can't speak to what it may have said before, but it might be bugged somehow. This clearly isn't the first time you've used the calculators, so you know what you're doing

UPDATE: I ran my perfect Venusaur, 98% Alakazam, etc. through the calculator. No problems with other species. In https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/appraisal-or-iv-calculator-messed someone else stated that the base defence for Metagross should be 247 but the GamePress database has it at 248.
