[[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. | [[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure.

If a Pokémon has [[form differences|alternate forms]] that change its [[stats]] (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}), any effort points acquired will be applied to its stats when the form is changed, allowing the player to boost their Pokémon's stats without having to level it up. | |||
