Effort values, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. Effort values ensure that [[Caught Pokémon|trained Pokémon]] are stronger than [[wild Pokémon]], even those of the same [[level]]. Effort points are awarded equally to all Pokémon who participated in defeating a Pokémon. Though they are shared, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points. | Effort values, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, since stats are calculated by dividing effort by 4 and disregarding the remainder, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat. In Generation VI, the limit was changed from 255 to 252, preventing wasting EVs. As a result, the maximum amount of additional stat points that can be acquired by EV-training for a given stat is 63, in comparison to an Pokémon that is uninvested in EVs. | Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total.
