Pokémon Natures

A Pokémon’s nature boosts one stat by 10% while hindering another by 10%. Choosing the right nature is crucial for competitive play.

  • Physical Attacker: Boost Attack or Speed (Decrease Sp. Atk).
  • Special Attacker: Boost Sp. Atk or Speed (Decrease Attack).
  • Wall/Tank: Boost Defense or Sp. Def (Decrease unused attack stat).
Stat – Attack – Defense – Sp. Atk – Sp. Def – Speed
+ Attack Hardy Lonely Adamant Naughty Brave
+ Defense Bold Docile Impish Lax Relaxed
+ Sp. Atk Modest Mild Bashful Rash Quiet
+ Sp. Def Calm Gentle Careful Quirky Sassy
+ Speed Timid Hasty Jolly Naive Serious

Individual Values (IVs)

IVs are hidden “genes” ranging from 0 to 31. At Level 100, each IV point equals one stat point.

  • Hidden Power: Determined by IV combinations (Odd/Even).
  • Reroll: You can reroll IVs for $10,000.
  • Locks: Use Reroll Tokens to lock stats you want to keep.

Effort Values (EVs)

EVs are earned through battling. Every 4 EVs equal 1 Stat Point at Level 100.

By the way I just wanna say thank you for making the guide however; On the EV drops you listed the wrong EV's. For Example under the Kanto list in HP it says that Mankey and Ekans give HP which they don't they both give attack. It is a great guide but could you please go through and update it with the right EV's info throughout the whole thing?
