'''Effort values''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|努力値|どりょくち}}}}''' ''effort values''), abbreviated '''EVs''', are attributes which give bonuses to an individual Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]] and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. Officially, they have been referred to as '''{{j|{{tt|基礎|きそ}}ポイント}}''' ''base points'' in Japanese since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and as '''base stats''' in English since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
