{{incomplete|needs=Effect of Knock Off, Fling, and item-moving effects (such as Thief, Bestow, Symbiosis) on the EV-boosting effect. Are Gen VIII Experience Share effects similar with EV's or different?}}
'''EV-enhancing items''' are items which enhance the {{EV}}s gained when a Pokémon is defeated. All of them halve the {{stat|Speed}} of the Pokémon holding them in battle while they are being held.
'''Power items''' are held items that enhance the {{EV}}s gained when a Pokémon is defeated. All of them halve the {{stat|Speed}} of the Pokémon holding them in battle.


These items' effects are doubled by the effect of [[Pokérus]]. For example, if a {{p|Chikorita}} with Pokérus that holds a [[Power Lens]] defeats a {{p|Haunter}}, that Chikorita would gain 12 EV points in {{stat|Special Attack}}. Two would be from defeating the Haunter, four would come from the Power Lens, and the remaining six would be from the Pokérus's doubling effect. However, a Pokémon holding the [[Exp. Share]] will not gain any of these boosts, and unless already infected with Pokérus, will only receive the base [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] of the defeated Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], the Exp. Share was made into a [[Key Item]], meaning that Pokémon who receive experience from the Exp. Share can also take advantage of any held EV-enhancing items.

From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, if they are held by either parent in the [[Pokémon Day Care]], that parent passes down its {{IV}} in that respective stat; {{stat|HP}} for [[Power Weight]], {{stat|Attack}} for [[Power Bracer]], and so on.
==In the core series games==
===Mechanics===
For [[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VII]], the Power items only granted four extra {{EV}}s when the Pokémon holding it gained experience and from [[Generation VIII]] this was increased to eight.


In [[Generation VII]], the Macho Brace is not available in-game, leaving access to only the other {{EV}}-enhancing items. It is available again in [[Generation VIII]].
These items' effects are doubled by the effect of [[Pokérus]]. For example, if a {{p|Chikorita}} with Pokérus that holds a [[Power Lens]] defeats a {{p|Haunter}}, that Chikorita would gain 20 EV points in {{stat|Special Attack}}. Two would be from defeating the Haunter, eight would come from the Power Lens, and the remaining ten would be from the Pokérus's doubling effect. However, a Pokémon holding the [[Exp. Share]] will not gain any of these boosts, and unless already infected with Pokérus, will only receive the base [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] of the defeated Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], the Exp. Share was made into a [[Key Item]], meaning that Pokémon who receive experience from the Exp. Share can also take advantage of any held EV-enhancing items.


==List of EV-enhancing items==
From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, if they are held by either parent in the [[Pokémon Day Care]], that parent passes down its {{IV}} in that respective stat; {{stat|HP}} for [[Power Weight]], {{stat|Attack}} for [[Power Bracer]], and so on.
