So, I've found a couple things to "raise IV stat by 1", and I can view said stats, but I can't find any explanation either in game or on the cobblemon site explaining what IVs (or EVs, for that matter) actually are or how they work. Googling just led me to the cobblemon page about "Hyper Training" where it says you can raise the stats, but that's not exactly helpful without information on how the system works. Is there anywhere I can find this out (preferably by reading)?

Look on Pokemon sites. IVs and EVs have been a somewhat hidden feature in the mainline games for over a decade, and tend to be more heavily highlighted in fan works due to their importance in competitive play. They're modifiers to stats that help make every Pokemon of the same breed unique, and they can be effected in various ways.

IVs by breeding and "hyper training", EVs I believe are effected by what other Pokemon yours defeats.
