Note that the Day of Month modifier is at most -9 and at most +9 (and only takes on odd values therein). Also as a result, the Day of Month modifier cycles every 10 days ('''exception''': for Power and Speed, the modifiers in effect for the first day of each month are different from those of Day 11, Day 21, and Day 31, though the latter three have the same modifiers). | Note that the Day of Month modifier is at most -9 and at most +9 (and only takes on odd values therein).

For example, a Hardy {{p|Wurmple}} (last digit 0 or 5) will never get a +9 or a +7 from a Day of Month modifier in Power; if it evolves into a {{p|Cascoon}} (the last digit is 5) it furthermore entails that its best performance will be on the first day of each month, barring Aprijuice factors (as it has its sole +5 boost on the first day on each month) - in contrast, a Hardy {{p|Silcoon}} will have a +5 boost six times a month (on days ending with 4 or 6). | ||

Note that performance changes may not drop below the Pokémon's minimum performance rating, nor may it exceeds the Pokémon's maximum performance rating.

Thus, for example, a {{p|Cradily}} may never have its Speed or Jump rating improved or degraded as those attributes are fixed (as such, for example, it is advisable to give it dry Aprijuices for which sweetness or bitterness is its weakest flavor). | ||
