4 Attack EVs = +1 point in Attack

252 EVS = +63 points in Attack

Basically they're 1 extra stat point every 4 EV points, at a max of 252, that means you can get a total of 63 points of boost at level 100 to two stats (there's a 255 cap per stat and 510 cap total) (scaled to your level, obviously. A level 50 would only get like 30 extra points, for example)

For the sake of things, that means 63 extra attack on your sweeper, 63 extra speed, 63 more HP, etc.

EV's are effort values, you get effort values by killing pokemon, each pokemon gives off a specific amount of ev's depending on what pokemon is is, evolutions are different from pre-vo's, every 4 ev's will give you 1 stat in whatever category you got ev's in, you can only have a maximum of 508 EVs.

Super Training is EVs. You used to only be able to get them by levelling up and making certain species of pokemon faint. Now you can get them from Super Training.

Considering Super Training can easily get you +40 in a stat for 5 minutes of playtime, yes, it's important. You can get up to 252 stat points through EVs on each pokemon, and reset all EVs with the reset bag, which is easy to find.

Check them by pulling up a pokemon and inspecting the pentagon to their right. The blue figure is their base stats and the yellow figure is their EVs. The bar on the right represents how many of their 252 EVs have been used. Super Training is useful for preparing a pokemon for competitive battling or making a shitty pokemon usable in-game. That's basically everything you need to know.

That's IVs, which is an entirely retarded autism system and I hate Gamefreak for giving it to us.

Basically they're determined stats given to you when you catch/hatch/obtain a Pokemon. Every stat has 0-31 IVs with no way to change it.

If you get a Pokemon with a speed IV of 10, it will be 21 points slower than every single Pokemon of the same set at level 100, and there's nothing you can do to alleviate it besides breed another one and abandon the first.

EVs max out at 255, not 252.
the only change they made for that is that with super training EVs wont go over 252. they still can through battle, and probably other means like the berry juices.

Getting a stat maxed out in EVs is an extra 63 points in that stat.

Yes, it's fucking important if you plan on playing competitively in any sense.

In-game? No, Pokemon in-game is piss easy.

They actually won't. Try it yourself. Go kill a bunch of hordes of Pokemon with pokerus and the power items. Then use a reset bag.
It caps at 252 now.

Quoted By:

EVs are essentially custom stat growth that you can regulate. If you don't immediately work to assign them, yet carry the pokemon around gaining EXP from battles and shit you will automatically gain points in a pre-set all-around fashion, but this can be undone. You can manipulate them really easily and get it sorted in about a half hour once you figure out what the fuck you're doing. They can also be reset at any time (reset bag) to test new builds out.

If you're worried about min-maxing you have to consider IVs which are hidden bonus stats that your pokemon is born with and that's just a whole 'nother layer of bullshit you'll spend hours breeding and playing the RNG lottery to perfect. IVs have less impact than EVs, fortunately, but they're still a pretty big deal for competitive shit.

When generated, each pokemon rolls for their stats individually.

0-31 in each stat (0 worst 31 best). Same concept as EVs but not divided by 4.

When breeding a pokemon will inherit some of its stats from parents (randomly picking which one). Various held items have various effects on this. Check around.

When generated in the wild, they are completely random. In the friend safari they're guaranteed to have at least 2 stats perfect (31).

ha
hahaha

and not even slightly either way. Most of the time peoples' strategies is just "sweep until dead"
Maxed EVs would benefit that strategy greatly

Hell, even easier with the fact that you have healing items so if you're so frail you die, you can revive and sweep until dead again and again.

Basically look at it like this

EVs are a buff of up to 63 points in any two given stats, which you can redistribute at will

IVs are a nerf of up to 31 points making you anywhere from 0 to 31 points slower, weaker, less bulky, etc than every other Pokemon that is otherwise the same as yours.

Best way to generate bags is to have an excited pokemon punch the blank, black bag. Make sure your bag inventory has room. Coincidentally, those team flare bags are useful for getting excited on demand.

Well, that's smart because you only get a stat point for every 4 EV points. 252 is a multiple of 4. 255 isn't, so you just have 3 wasted points. I think it used to be 255 because 255 is the maximum number of slots in a hexidecimal coding system.

Then again, so is competitive Pokemans without basically giving everyone their chosen pokemon with maxed EVs for a fair ground in a tournament. Does this mean cheating is actually more fair than this ridiculous bullshit?
