While some Abilities and held items may also modify the stages of a Pokémon's stats, others may apply unique multipliers that are separate from—and thus can stack with—stages. Examples include the Ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which temporarily halves Attack and Speed, and the held item [[Choice Band]], which boosts Attack by 50%. | While some Abilities and held items may also modify the stages of a Pokémon's stats, others may apply unique multipliers that are separate from—and thus can stack with—stages.

From Generation V onward, the Speed stat has boundaries put in place that don't apply to any other stat. After taking stat stages and all other modifiers into account, if the resulting Speed stat is above 10000, it is reduced to 10000. The speed stat is then subtracted from 10000 if and only if {{m|Trick Room}} is in effect, and finally if the Speed stat is greater than or equal to 8192, it is reduced by 8192 to produce the final figure used in speed comparisons. As a result, a Pokémon that runs into the limit of 10000 Speed is further reduced to an effective 1808. | |||
A few items may also modify a Pokémon's stats outside of battle by increasing or decreasing the [[effort values]] (EVs) for that stat. [[Vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s increase EVs, while "EV [[Berry|Berries]]" (No. 21, {{b|Pomeg}}, to No. 26, {{b|Tamato}}) reduce EVs. | A few items may also modify a Pokémon's stats outside of battle by increasing or decreasing the [[effort values]] (EVs) for that stat.
