Effort level

Effort Levels, or known as ELs, are a mechanic introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Similar to how Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! uses Awakening values, ELs replace the use of EVs, and are increased using Grit items.

Formula: Each stat is made of two equations, the Ganbaru Value (GV) and the Base Value

$HP={\big (}{\frac {LV}{100}}+1{\big )}*Base+LV+GV$

$Otherstat={\frac {({\frac {Lv}{50}}+1)*Base}{1.5}}*Nature+GV$

The GV follows as such

$GV={\frac {{\sqrt {Base}}*Multiplier+Lv}{2.5}}$

The multiplier is created from the Pokemon's Effort Level. The starting effort level of a pokemon is based on the IV of each stat.

IV value	Starting Effort Level
31	3
26 to 30	2
20 to 25	1
Less then 20	0

Based on the Effort Level, the following multipliers are created

Effort Level	Multiplier
0	0
1	2
2	3
3	4
4	7
5	8
6	9
7	14
8	15
9	16
10	25
