Captured Pokémon are stronger than Pokémon in the wild in the games. At the same level, a captured Pokémon will have more points in every statistic than a wild one; this is due to the fact that captured Pokémon gain [[EV]]s from every battle they partake in, and therefore, on training, will gain points in their stats based on what they've encountered. This becomes more and more obvious at the later stages of the game, where the higher levels allow for a greater disparity of stats between captured and wild Pokémon, especially those raised from a low level, giving the Trainer a more decisive edge in wild battles. It's important to note, however, that Pokémon controlled by other Trainers are just as strong statistically (at the same level) as the player's are. Captured Pokémon can level up and learn new moves in battle, while [[wild Pokémon]] cannot, and can evolve. | Captured Pokémon are stronger than Pokémon in the wild in the games.
