==Generation III==
[[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure. Effort points are now separate values from the base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat.

At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat. For every Pokémon that has gained Effort Points in battle, stats will be recalculated upon leveling up, except for Deoxys, whose stats will be recalculated after every battle instead.


Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, at level 100, since a stat increases by 1 point for every 4 effort points, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat.
