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.

Prior to Generation VI, there is no way to directly view effort values; from Generation VI onward, it is possible to view graphs which quantify effort values without giving specific numbers. [[Shigeru Ohmori]] has stated that the reason EVs and {{IV}}s are hidden is because he prefers to think of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as "real, living creatures".<ref>[http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-12/11/pokemon-interview Pokemon's Junichi Masuda: 'We weren’t explicitly targeting children' (Wired UK)]</ref> | |||
