Are 0 IV Pokémon good?

Yes, 0 IV Pokémon can be very good in specific, niche competitive strategies (like low Speed for Trick Room or 0 Attack for special attackers to minimize confusion/Foul Play damage) and are also rare collector's items, but generally, high IVs are better for maximizing overall stats in most situations. Their value depends entirely on the intended use: great for specific tactics or collecting, but detrimental for general power.

What are 0 IV Pokémon good for?

A 0 IV is only good for speed, where you may want your Pokemon to be as slow as possible for Trick Room, Gyro Ball, etc. Maybe some special attackers would like 0 in attack to minimize confusion damage, but that's not a huge deal. It can also minimize Foul Play damage, but again, NBD.

What does an IV of 0 mean?

If you have a Special Attacker, having a 0IV ATK stat means less damage you'd be taking if your Pokemon gets confused. Similarly, Trick Room reverses speed order, so if you want your Pokemon to move first, have a 0IV Speed stat means it will be the slower Pokemon.

Is CP or Stars more important in Pokemon Go?

Stars (IVs) are better long-term because they determine a Pokémon's potential max CP, while current CP reflects its level; a high-star, low-CP Pokémon can become much stronger than a low-star, high-CP one when powered up, but the right moveset and PvP relevance (low Attack for Great/Ultra League) are often more crucial than perfect stars. For immediate gym battles as a beginner, higher CP wins, but investing candy and stardust into high-star Pokémon offers the best future power.
