DV Charts

The probability of stats are derived from the DV values, which describe the possible stats for Nidoran to have.

If there's one thing to take away from these charts, it's that Nidoran's stats have differentiated much farther at level 23 than level 8. A Nidoran that appears perfect at level 8, may not be quite as promising by 23 after all.
