Enhancing Pokémon with Effort Values (EVs)

Understanding EVs:

⮕ EVs, or Effort Values, are points that boost specific stats and make your Pokémon more powerful. These values are earned through dedicated training and battles.

The EV Training Process:

1. Acquiring Power Items: Begin by purchasing a power item from p!shop 4 after selecting the Pokémon you want to enhance. Use the command p!buy item <power item> to make your purchase.
2. Choosing the Right Power Item:
   
   • There are six Power Items, each designated for a specific stat and costing 2,000 Credits:
   
   ⮕ Power Weight: Boosts HP effort values for your Pokémon. 
   ⮕ Power Bracer: Enhances Attack effort values for your Pokémon.
   ⮕ Power Belt: Strengthens Defense effort values for your Pokémon.
   ⮕ Power Lens: Amplifies Special Attack effort values for your Pokémon. 
   ⮕ Power Band: Augments Special Defense effort values for your Pokémon.
   ⮕ Power Anklet: Accelerates Speed effort values for your Pokémon.
   
   • Select the appropriate Power Item based on the specific stat you want to enhance for your Pokémon's EV training.
   
   • Additionally, consider consulting relevant tags for specific guidance on preferred EVs for Pokémon suited for raids. 
   
   • If you're unsure which one to buy, seek guidance in the #question・help section in our Support Server or consult relevant tags.
   
   ⮕ For example: ?Tag raidmeta: Discover which Pokémon and moves excel in raid battles.
    ?Tag kyogre: Explore preferred EV distributions for Pokémon that shine in raids.
   
   
3. Boosting EVs:
   
   Once you've acquired a power item, you can increase your Pokémon's EVs through various methods, including:
   ⮕ Spawn Duels (sd) (Most Efficient)
   ⮕ Friendly Duels (Not Guaranteed)
   ⮕ Raids
   ⮕ Dueling AI (available in Medium and Hard Difficulty only)

Important Limits:

It's essential to note that there are limits to how many EVs a Pokémon can have:

• The maximum limit of total EVs on a Pokémon is 508. 
• The maximum limit of EVs on a single stat is 252.
  
  

Additionally, it's worth noting that accumulating 4 Effort Values (EVs) in a particular stat will result in an increase of 1 Individual Value (IV) point in that same stat, further shaping your Pokémon's potential.
