PvP dodge Suggestion?
Change the shield button to a "Dodge" button
Amount of dodges = pokemons stamina / 2 *rounded down
For a perfect 15 IV stamina pokemon, you get 7 dodges per battle
Xtra small mon = extra fast dodge, Small mon = fast dodge Large mon = slow dodge Xtra large mon = extra slow dodge
This would make battles last a little longer and feel more like actual combat instead of standing in one place without moving throwing punches.

No. This game IS NOT based on IVs. They do not want you to look at IVs.
How do you know that for sure? There is already an appraisal system to check IVs and currently the weight & size stats are pointless.
A dodge mechanic using the weight and size + stamina IV would use all those pointless features and add PvP battle variety to all the mons caught. It's an elegant design that works better in the pokemon universe than a random floating hologram energy shield
Cause literally the appraisal system doesn't give you actual numbers. They've said thousands of times that they don't want people looking at IVs. Not directly but they've never actually talked about IVs directly.. NEVER.
Yeah, but they're talking about third party illegal apps that data mine their code to find out pokemon stats.
In terms of iv they clearly implemented the appraisal system so that players CAN COMPARE their pokemon IVs. It wouldn't even exist in game if they didnt want that.
Furthermore how would a dodge mechanic ruin what they've already implemented in game? It would enhance the gameplay and add variety to battles
They don't give you an actual number. You can compare all you want but you're never gonna get the number 14 from comparing. The only number you can actually get from the appraisal function IN THE GAME is the number 15. They are making PvP more of a non PvP thing cause you have to have lower IVs of certain Pokemon to get them below the levels. It's better to have a low IV creselia so you can actually be under 1500 CP. If it's a 100% it would be 15xx which doesn't work. Defeating the whole point of having limits.... Then it just goes based on the strengths of the Pokemon and not the strengths of you as a player... PvP is about the way you play and your strategy not about who has stronger Pokemon...
Also IV apps are not illegal and are allowed to be used. Pokemon go subreddit allows it so Niantic allows it. You'll never get banned if you use it.
