The [[Macho Brace]] doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points. However, the effects of the item do not transfer to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

A transformed Pokémon (either by using {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) copies all EVs other than [[HP]] from the target Pokémon. As a result, from [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 765 EVs (if it has 255 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP). Similarly, from [[Generation VI]] onwards, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 762 EVs (if it has 252 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP).
