Wrong formula. Also the deleted number only applies at Lv100 and nowhere else. Can someone create a new picture to replace the fixed formula?

The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''stat experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat, however, maximum stats will be reached with only 64512 EVs. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 646 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to accrue EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.
