It guesses your trainer level based on the information you give it, but it could be out by three or four levels and so the data it returns is completely meaningless.
The Silph Road knows exactly what level your Pokémon is and so, as I understand it, gives the same information as you'd get from the apps that pull IVs from the game. Someone else would have to verify, though.

Oh, I know I was just being silly.
My first time ever seeing one anywhere near here! (even in gyms)
CP kinda low, but eh, glad to finally find one.

the best place to use it them are when you are bound to walk around a lot...like when you are farming Pokéstops for items. also try to do it when you are popping a lucky egg and you have many pidgey to mass evolve and several eggs incubating while they are close to hatching. believe me, if you do this and plan ahead you will gain a great amount of xp in an efficient manner
Look, not saying you're a liar, but your either mistaken or something weird it's going on with your game.
I've hatched a lot of eggs,
Two of my friends have hatched over 500 as well. So that's about 1500 eggs that I personally know first hand that have hatched. We've never hatched anything odd like Pokemon that aren't from different egg groups, and we've never hatched region locked. It just doesn't happen. We live in Los Angeles btw
Geezus. What's your Km counter at?
huh? data is not completely meaningless at all. you just need to sometimes use the refine feature.
the higher CP the pokemon is, the less possible IVs it suggests as there are less possible variations.
at level 28 i can get the IV correct for a pokemon with high CP after 1 or 2 refines.
the data it returns might seem meaningless though if you try to check the IV of a very low CP pokemon, as it will return a shit load of data. if you use the refine function you can still get the correct IV tho.

Ran to my local park today which is apparently a Pikachu nest.
Jogged all over and grabbed 17 of them all in all before calling it a day. ^^
On another note, I think the game wants me to be a Scyther master as my last two 10k eggs have hatched it.

Android mobile? Was it a 5 km egg?
There's a bug where Grimer will cause some Android models to crash.
I encountered it today when I was out walking and we came to an area where there was a Grimer. Two Android users got consistent crashes in the area, while the three iPhone users were able to catch the Grimer.

You're refining and refining so the site can try to work out what level you are. If you use The Silph Road, you can just tell it to begin with.
how? i'm using it right now and it is giving me 4 possible pokemon levels
try for yourself
Weedle
cp 227
hp 53
power up 2500 dust and 2 candy
unless i'm doing something wrong, both sites require refining

I'd need a screenshot of your Pokémon and your trainer level for TSR.
one sec
after my disappointments from my 10k eggs I decided to finally get a venasaur... I spent the last 4 hours farming bulbasaurs and finally got to evolve my egg hatched one that has a pretty good iv...
the icing on the cake was that he has his best moveset
Now tear your way through all those water held gyms!

here ya go
So when you put that into TSR and put the bar in the right place, you don't get specific figures?
Like, not a range?
there are multiple spots on the bar that match the exact information i provided
check for yourself
as a result, there is no one "right place"

I never noticed the Team background on the profile page. Granted, it's not as visible for Mystic.

Have to wait for a ride at the airport and I realized after a few minutes at baggage claim that I'm sitting in between two PokéStops. 😎

There is a right place, you just have to know where it is.
I make it 22/30 for atk/def, and 10/15 for stm.
For the same info, PokeAssistant gives you however many options of which that is one, but TSR requires no candy/stardust to find out.
Gastlys are slippery annoying things so there is that.
I have had this problem too and I one of those was a 10k egg. I think this was when I was incubating several 5k's and one 10k and were about to hatch around the same time. I didn't get any hatching animation and neither could I see any new pokemon in my inventory. Plus I lost another egg a few days ago to a similar incident.
what did you set the CP slider at?
also what does 22/30 for atk/def mean? the game data doesn't combine atk/def, they assign an individual number out of 15 to each
22/30 for atk/def means nothing. it could mean your attack is anything from 7 to 15, same for defense
you need to be able to provide the exact value for atk, def, and stamina
saying 22/30 for atk/def is providing a huge range
edit: just to clarify, the info you provided produces many possible IV combinations...if i refine i can get the exact values for all 3 IVs

22/30 means your Pokémon is basically junk, I guess is what I was saying. It doesn't matter where the numbers are.

England/ London? if so, Holland Park can get you a Veno- in a day's play.

Bummer. Are Ghastly's rare near you?
You and your Maid Waifu avatar
Dat Palutena <3
but that's completely besides the point (its a weedle man...i didn't need TSR to tell me it's junk hah)
we were talking about how TSR compares to other IV calculators
you stated:
but this is completely untrue. TSR is unable to tell exactly what level your Pokemon is (for the weedle it gave a range of 4), and TSR is no where close to the apps that pull the IVs from the game
both pokeassistant and TSR provide a range of possible IVs. with pokeassistant you can get the exact IV through refining (i'd imagine you could do the same with TSR)
the apps, on the other hand, give you the exact IVs with 0 need to refine

yeah I specifically wanted him for all the vaporeon... I built up two pretty good vapes to fight all the damn arcanines, and I'm leveling my slowbro to fight dragonite...I'm gonna farm machop next to counter all the 3000 cp snorlaxes

You tell it what level you are, that's what the arc is for. If you can't work out the correct place on it, fair enough, but it'll give you the correct information if you give it the correct data first.
I think this is where you are confused. Pokemon level and trainer level are two very different things.
Also, keep in mind that you believe you did it correctly yet were only able to provide a range of IVs

How do you do this?
Tell me about it, I went out to buy some notebooks and stuff for university which starts on Monday, it's been an hour and I haven't bought shit yet, I keep finding something to catch lol.

They are. It needs to be night time or you have to be in a quiet area. But I like to hang out in the busy part of my city, where there are a lot of Pokestops
I have zoomed in version ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Thanks. Rarest thing near me currently is an eevee lol
I'm not going to quote everything, but I believe you are misunderstanding.
POKéMON level and Trainer level are different things, yes, but you know both of them ( Trainer level you can straight-up see, POKéMON level you can determine by matching up the CP arc in one of the apps that does that. ). In addition to that you know the CP and HP. Those four statistics you can nail down to their exact value without any outside help. You put those values into Silphroad and they can determine your exact Stamina IV and your exact combined ATK / DEF IV. There is currently no way known to separately calculate the exact ATK / DEF IV values. Silphroad does not require refining on your part as you can determine all of the needed values exactly and without the need to invest stardust / candies.
Also, just to mention this again; you are doing the 'refining' by powering up your POKéMON using dust and candy - which, aside from it not being feasible for a large number of players that simply do not get to have the luxury of tons of candies and stardust, is again completely unneeded because you can match up the CP bar to get the exact POKéMON level -, the site / app you are using does not do that.
We have no indication if the calculator that gives the 'ranges' with specific seperate ATK / DEF IVs bases those ranges on any actual data or if it is simply guesswork.
Once again, the bolded part of your post is wrong.
There are sites and apps that pull in game API data and can provide exact atk/def IVs
He even acknowledges it, I think he was just under the impression that TSR can do it too, which it can't
He claimed TSR can provide the same results as apps that pull API data, which is just false
Nope, I tried Silph Road on my starter Charmander and the Stamina IV was wrong. The Attack + Defence was right, but ir would be much better breaking that down into individual stats.
I don't know how Silph Road's one narrows it down to one result when there's multiple possible combinations for a particular level. But I know it's wrong.
You entered something incorrectly, then. All you need to know for the stamina IV is the HP and Pokémon level. From there, it can calculate the combined attack and defense IVs (but not individually).
LOL what. The difference between levels on the CP bar is huge for lower levels. The level of the Charmander reported back by Silph Road is the same as what's reported back by the spreadsheet calculators. I've double checked this.

I went to different part of the country yesterday (live in London, visited Thanet) and the difference was crazy. Tons of Voltorbs and Magnemites, way less Ratatta, Pidgey etc and not a Drowzee in sight. Came across many that I've never seen in the wild London... Mr. Mime, Kabuto, Ponyta, Pinsir etc. Was a good day!
Yes, sites can pull from the API for exact stats on your POKéMON, but I believe most if not all of those sites have since been blocked from accessing the API, and we were talking about calculating from user input, not pulling from API. Aside from that, we're talking about https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator here, right? They don't seem to be pulling the data from anywhere. Perhaps it is based on data that was pulled from the API at some point, but then at the very least it seems very much incomplete, and without knowing for sure on what it is based, that makes it unreliable.
Do you have any detailed info on how exactly PA calculates things and where it pulls its data from? That would help me in understanding what exactly is going on / if it is indeed - as you say - more accurate than Silphroad.
Are you sure you put everything in correctly? I assume you are comparing to IVs pulled directly from the API, not ones you calculated elsewhere? Did you input the exact POKéMON level or did you eyeball the arc on Silphroad?
