From Generations III to {{gen|V}}, Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. In Generations III and {{gen|IV}}, Pokémon recalculate their stats upon leveling up, except for {{p|Deoxys}}, whose stats are recalculated after every battle instead. Stats are also recalculated immediately if a [[Vitamin]] or stat-reducing Berry (see below) is used on the Pokémon. | From Generations III to {{gen|V}}, Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. As stated before, EVs contribute to a stat by dividing by 4 and rounding down, so the usable maximums are 252 effort points per stat, and 508 effort points in total. This makes the ideal spread of EVs 252/252/4 between three different stats, as opposed to 255/255 between two different stats. | ||

Starting in {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points, while increasing the [[friendship]] of the Pokémon they were used on. The game will tell the player if the Pokémon's friendship cannot increase or if the stat does not decrease.
