hundo

Hundo is a term used primarily in the Pokémon GO community to describe a Pokémon with perfect individual values (IVs). In Pokémon GO, each Pokémon has three IV stats—Attack, Defense, and Stamina (HP)—each ranging from 0 to 15. A Pokémon with 15/15/15 IVs is considered to have 100% IV, and players commonly refer to this as a hundo. The word is a clipped form of "hundred percent."

Use and context

Hundo is used when players evaluate or discuss the potential of a captured or hatched Pokémon. A hundo is often a target for catching, hatching, or trading due to its maximum possible stats, which can affect both combat performance and value in trades. Appraisal by in-game team leaders helps players determine whether a Pokémon is a hundo; in practice, players may announce “this is a hundo” when IVs are confirmed at 100%.

Related terms

A closely related term is shundo, which describes a Pokémon that is both shiny and 100% IV. While "hundo" specifies perfect IVs, it does not imply anything about shininess; "shundo" explicitly combines perfect IVs with a shiny appearance.

Variations and audience

The term is most common among Pokémon GO players and appears in online communities such as Reddit, The Silph Road forums, and various Discord servers. As IV evaluation methods and appraisal wording evolve, the exact usage may vary, but the core meaning remains the same: a Pokémon with maximum possible IVs.
