What is the IV formula that determines Unown's shape?
Unown’s shape is determined by its IVs, but could someone please tell me which IVs correspond with which shape?

Well in Generation II, what you had to do was find the ‘nibbles’ of each stat’s IV, except for the HP IV.
(Okay, I have no idea how to calculate nibbles, and in all due honestly, I don’t care. So please don’t ask me about it, but rather take the tough challenge of looking it up yourself. It’s a binary thing. D:)
Now, you have to take the two middle digits of the nibble, and stick them all into a new number, in the respective order below.
Now, the combination of numbers is now a nibble itself, of another number. In this case, it’s67.
And now, you divide this number by ten, and round it down.
67 / 10= 6.7=6
And correspond this letter to it’s letter in the alphabet. You know 1=A, 2=B etc. In this case,6=G. So it will be Unown G!
So, there you have it. However, in Gen III it was different. It was calculated by personality values. There are many possible personality values, and I can’t be bothered talking about it, so if you wanna look just clickhereand scroll down to ‘Unown’s Letter’.
Generation IV onwards Unown’s form was calculated with a separate form generator.
Hope I helped. :)Source
