Can someone explain or link to something that explains what evs and ivs are? I've been playing pokemon since the originals and I still haven't a damn clue
evs are effort values and every pokemon you defeat gives a set number for certain stats, a single pokemon can only have 510 evs total and each stat caps at 255
every 4 evs is equal to 1 extra point in that stat basing on a level 100 pokemon, for a total of 63 extra with 252 evs in a stat
IV are Individual Values, they help determine how good the stats will be, each stat has it's own IV and they range 1 to 31 and the higher it is the better that stat will be
unlike evs these values are set upon encounter and cannot be altered
