IVs/EVs (Individual Values/ Effort Values)

Just like the Pokémon games, the Pokémon in Myuu have IVs and EVs. However, these are very visible in Myuu through the use of the .*mypkinfo* command.

## IVs are a fan term for **Individual Values**.

Think of these like the genes of a Pokémon. They can't be changed by anything you do... unless you decide to breed to get a Pokémon with better IVs or, if you happen to have a legendary Pokémon, you can use a Gold Bottle Cap on it to bring it to max. (It's important to state the IVs when you are trading.)

A Pokémon's IVs are an indicator of how strong they are. There are 6 separate IVs a Pokémon can have, in each of its stats- (HP) Health Points, (Atk) Attack, (Def) Defense, (SpA) Special Attack, (SpD) Special Defense and (Spe) Speed.

Basically, the higher one of these IVs are, the stronger the Pokémon is in that stat. The maximum value for an IV is 31 and the least value is 0. Something to note here is that every Pokémon specializes in a certain stat, or maybe two stats at a time. For example, a Charmander has a higher base stat value in its Special Attack rather than its Attack, so a Charmander with an IV of 31 in its Attack (Atk) and an IV of 3 in its Special Attack (SpA) won't get the benefit it could have.

1 IV adds 1 stat point to the Pokémon's individual overall stat. This means a Pokemon's stat can go up from a value

   of 283 with 0 IVs to 314 with 31 IVs.

***TLDR of IVs: If your Pokémon has 31 in an IV, it's a good thing. The more 31's, the* better.** Pictured here is a 6 IV Eevee.

## EVs are a fan term for **Effort Values**.

These can be thought of as stats that gain experience. A Pokémon gains EVs when it defeats another Pokémon in battle (excluding battles between players). If your team has an **Exp Share All,** the EVs will be distributed to the other Pokémon.

Every 4 EVs add 1 stat point to a Pokémon's individual overall stat (Attack, Defense etc). The maximum value of EVs in any stat a Pokémon can have is 252 and the total amount of EVs a pokemon can have is 510 and the only way to get rid of everything are from berries

Which Is why people prefer newly bred pokemon.

Each Pokémon has a set amount of EVs they 'drop' when they are defeated. Here is a list if you want to find out which Pokémon drops which EVs, because there are a lot of Pokémon.

## EV training

So you've just learnt about EVs and you want to train your favorite Charizard. But your Pokémon already has EVs scattered all over the place!

 How do you remove these EVs so you can start training? The answer are EV reducing berries! You can buy these from Myuu's item shop with *buy [item] [quantity].*

 Example: *.buy kelpsy berry 5*.

Pomeg Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's HP by 10 EVs.

Kelpsy Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's Attack by 10 EVs.

Qualot Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's Defense by 10 EVs.

Hondew Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's Special Attack by 10 EVs.

Grepa Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's Special Defense by 10 EVs.

Tamato Berry – Lowers a Pokémon's Speed by 10 EVs.

Once you've purchased some Berries, you give them to your Pokémon with the *give* command. Example: *.give Charizard pomeg berry*.

Alright, now that your Pokémon has no more EVs, what's next? You'll need to know what stat your Pokémon is strongest in. Most players EV train a Pokémon in Speed along with the stat the Pokémon is best in. Keep in mind that having a 31 IV stat in whatever you wish to train is the best setup. Pictured here is a Tyranitar that has been EV trained. You can tell because of the maxed stat in her Speed EV.

There are items that can also help with EV training.

Power Weight - +8 HP EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Power Bracer - +8 Attack EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Power Belt - +8 Defense EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Power Lens - +8 Special Attack EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Power Band - +8 Special Defense EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Power Anklet - +8 Speed EVs after each battle, regardless of the Pokémon fought, but cuts Speed in half.

Macho Brace - Doubles any EV the Pokémon gets, but cuts Speed in half.

**If you can't remember what an item does, there is the .item *[item]* command that you can use to see the item's description, cost and resell value.**
