Luckily, Nintendo gave you a couple of things to help you along the way. Which means you will be fighting a lot of battles to get your Pokémon's stats the way you want them. Every Pokémon gives at least one EV point, and no Pokémon gives more than three. However, in the Pokémon games, it isn't so easy.Īfter you defeat a certain Pokémon, every Pokémon that receives experience in battle (meaning level 100 Pokémon do not receive EVs in battle) also receive a certain number of EV points depending on the defeated Pokémon. In Netbattle, and in the un-released Competitor, you only have to "decide" how many EV points you want on each stat, and you can fully customize each Pokémon's EV spread in minutes. In other words, putting 12 EVs and putting 15 EVs both result in the same thing: a 3 point increase to the stat. However, it is important to note that a stat will only increase after every four EV points.
Having a proper EV spread (distribution of EV points on a Pokémon) can mean the difference between a win and a loss.Ī total of 255 EV points can be put onto any one stat, and a total of 510 points total can be given to any Pokémon. EVs will let Swampert survive Hidden Power Grass, or will let Skarmory outspeed Magneton, and many other things.
Art by TeraVolt.Įffort Values, or EVs for short, can have a huge impact on your Pokémon and the battles they participate in. If basing your decision HP alone doesn't settle it for you, look at the species' base stats on the link I provided above.By Reflect Suicune, and various other contributors. Given Lapras' inherent tankiness, Lapras is a better choice than Cloyster. In the case where both know Hyper Beam, though, they are equally valid choices, since with STAB, Hyper Beam is the most powerful move in the game.įor another example, I'll compare Lapras and Cloyster, both Ice/Water types.Ī level 9.5 Cloyster with 500 CP (roughly mid-range) can have between 41 and 47 HP.Ī level 6.5 Lapras with 500 CP (roughly mid-range) can have between 87 and 92 HP. IVs aside, this low level Snorlax will most definitely tank more hits than the Raticate with equal CP. I did a calculation via the Silph Road IV Rater to show this:Ī level 13.5 Raticate with CP 500 (roughly in the middle) can have between 53 and 61 HP.Ī level 6.0 Snorlax with CP 500 (on the high end) can have between 102 and 107 HP. For example, a Snorlax will typically last longer than a Raticate due to its very high HP and Defense. However, Pokemon with exceptional values in some stats may outperform other species. Two Pokemon with the same CP tend to perform roughly the same, ignoring movesets and typing.
To see which one is objectively better, use the Silph Road research page. Is there a way to use this spreadsheet so that it can do this kind of comparison? Or is there other spreadsheet/tool/website where I can do this comparison? Thus, I would need to compare #2 and #3, which are different levels, but the same CP. To get maximum prestige, I would want to use Pokémon that has around 550 CP. The spreadsheet enables me to compare #1 and #3, so even without understanding what all these ratings exactly mean, I can easily see that Snorlax is far superior to Raticate both defensively and offensively, which is something I would guess just after seeing their CP (1250 vs 550).īut assume, I need to train a gym with Pokémon around 1100 CP in it.
