Ganbaru Value above Natural Limit Error

[urbanxx001]

I'm editing GVs and encounter the error that a GV "is above the natural limit of (10 - IV Bonus)", but I'm not sure what IV Bonus is. I've checked the Bulbapedia page for Effort Levels/GVs, and that mentions Effort Level Bonus, but I assume it's different. Can someone explain IV Bonus? Thanks

IVs give 0-3, without adding to the stored GV value.

Assuming you have a 31 IV, you can only apply grit items 7 times, because you're initially boosted by 3 (total = 10).

Thanks for explaining sir. I fiddled around and found the following GV values are the max for the these IV ranges (for future reference):

GV -> IVs

10 ->  0 - 19

9   ->  20 - 25

8   ->  26 - 30

7   ->  31
