Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 {{p|Machop}} will improve a Pokémon's attack stat more than fighting 100 {{p|Abra}} of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] effort points given are equal to the Pokémon's [[base stats]]. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]. | Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on.

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights. Should a Pokémon attain the maximum amount of 510 effort values, it will be eligible to receive an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Effort Ribbon}} to signify this achievement. | Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights.
