Has Niantic ever officially declared (or leaked) a ranking of the relative importance of various stats on the various game actions? Like which calculations actually include IV directly? (stat scaling during evolve/power-up, damage dealt or taken during combat, capture rate, or healing time, for some examplesā¦)
In composing our raid parties against a particular boss, which factor makes a bigger difference in our likelihood of success ā trainer level, pokemon level, IV values, or particular move set? What re-confused me recently was when a local raid āexpertā advised me on adjustments to my Dialga raid partyās makeup, and he mused that the Machamp with 77 IV (but Dynamic Punch) which Iād left out of the party would be way better than the one with 93 IV (but Close Combat) which Iād included.
Trying to get the authoritative answer, rather than try to sort through the competing views of self-appointed experts (including the various game-news sites like GoHub).

No niantic has not. Only the PokĆ©mon Company has for the handheld games, but they talk about āpotentialā and even they arenāt very specific about it. They say āa Pokemon with a high potential has more potential to grow in a certain statā

Thanks, @Brobraam.
It just occurred to me that as a developer I would proabably want that info to be confidential, precisely because it would tend to make everybody play the same way if they knew for certain which criteria most-affected outcomes. And having a variety of play styles not only enriches the overall playing environment, it fuels interest through speculation and competition ā all of which are generally good for a productās market sustainabilityā¦
So while as a player I want all the more to know this info, Iām all the more doubtful that Iāll ever get more than studies and theories of varying degrees of credibility.

Exactly, Iām shure as an enterprise Iām not interested that you know all the details. The more your have to play with trial and error, there more you are envolved in the movement.

Iām a Maryland fan so it was really hard rooting for Virginia. It was almost same as a Redskin fan rooting for Cowboys. Just not natural.

Hardcore Duke fan here, but I liked seeing VA win. If Duke didnāt win, I like any ACC team winning not named UNC. 
Also: after being the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 in history last season, it was nice seeing them rebound to win it al.

Yes, being able to win it all the following year makes up for losing to a 16 seed
