Intro to EV Training in Cobblemon

Effort Values (EVs) are hidden attributes that directly increase a Pokémon’s stats as it grows. Customizing your Pokémon's EVs allows you to tailor their strengths for battle, whether that means maximizing Attack for a physical sweeper or boosting HP and Defense for a tank.

Core Rules to EVs

• The maximum number of EVs a single Pokémon can hold are 510.

• The maximum number of EVs a single stat can hold are 252.

• At Level 100, every 4 EVs equals a +1 stat increase to the final stat value.

• EVs can be previewed from a Pokémon's summary screen.

Example of EV Summary Screen

EV Training Methods

There exist a range of methods to increase a Pokémon's EVs, granting you variety in choice on how to properly train your Pokémon.

Defeating Pokémon

Whenever a Pokémon gains Experience Points from defeating a wild Pokémon, every non-fainted Pokémon in your party that participated in the battle receives EVs based on the defeated species.

• EV Yields: Wild Pokémon yield between 1 to 3 EVs in a specific stat based on their evolutionary stage.

  • Stage 1 (e.g., Caterpie, Rattata): Yields 1 EV (e.g., 1 Speed EV).

  • Stage 2 (e.g., Metapod, Pidgeotto): Yields 2 EVs.

  • Stage 3 / Fully Evolved (e.g., Butterfree, Pidgeot): Yields 3 EVs.

• EXP Share Functionality: If an EXP Share is held by a Pokémon that does not participate in battle, they will receive the exact same EVs, just as if they had participated. They do not get split or diluted.

Training Warp

NOTE: This warp currently isn't live yet. It's expected to be pushed live within one of the next few updates released on the server.

MMO Realms features a dedicated EV Training Zone (/warp EV Training) designed to remove the grind of searching for wild Pokémon. This is by far the fastest and most efficient way to EV train on the server.

EV Training Zone

• The Setup: The hub contains 6 designated arenas or NPC stations, one for each primary stat:

  1. HP

  2. Attack

  3. Defense

  4. Special Attack

  5. Special Defense

  6. Speed

EV Training Sections

EV Training NPCs

• NPC Team Composition: Each NPC holds a full team of 6 Pokémon that yield either low or high EVs, in which they are designed to have no damaging moves to fight back.

• Cooldowns: You can battle these NPCs repeatedly without issue.

Vitamins and Feathers

Vitamins and Feathers are consumable items that immediately add EVs to a Pokémon without requiring battle. In Cobblemon, Vitamins can brewed using Medicinal Brews and specific ingredients.

• Vitamins: Grant +10 EVs in a specified stat per use.

• Feathers: Grant +1 EV in a specified stat per use. These are ideal for fine-tuning precise EV spreads.

Stat	Vitamin	Feather
HP	HP Up	Health Feather
Attack	Protein	Muscle Feather
Defense	Iron	Resist Feather
Special Attack	Calcium	Genius Feather
Special Defense	Zinc	Clever Feather
Speed	Carbos	Swift Feather

For details on how to craft Vitamins, refer to the Berry guide.

Power Items

Power Items are held items that dramatically speed up battle-based training (both against wild Pokémon and in the /warp EV Training zone).

When a Pokémon holding a Power Item gains EVs in battle, it receives an extra +8 EVs in that specific stat per defeated Pokémon, regardless of the target's base EV yield.

• Power Weight : +8 HP EVs

• Power Bracer : +8 Attack EVs

• Power Belt : +8 Defense EVs

• Power Lens : +8 Special Attack EVs

• Power Band : +8 Special Defense EVs

• Power Anklet : +8 Speed EVs

Tip: Equipping a Power Item while battling an NPC in the EV Training Warp allows you to max out a stat (252 EVs) in just a few short battles!

Mochi

Mochi is a consumable item introduced alongside Gen 9 mechanics that functions similarly to Vitamins. Eating a Stat Mochi grants an immediate boost to a Pokémon's EVs without requiring any battle encounters.

• EV Increase: Each Mochi increases a specific stat by +4 EVs.

• Crafting: Obtained through campfire recipes.

Health Mochi

Increases HP EVs by 4.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Pomeg Berry.

Muscle Mochi

Increases Attack EVs by 4.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Kelpsy Berry.

Resist Mochi

Increases Defense EVs by 4.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Qualot Berry.

Genius Mochi

Increases Special Attack EVs by 4.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Hondew Berry.

Clever Mochi

Increases Special Defense EVs by 4.

Swift Mochi

Increases Speed EVs by 4.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Tamato Berry.

EV Reduction Methods

If you make a mistake, mess up an EV spread, or want to re-train a Pokémon for a different competitive role, you can lower or completely reset its EVs.

Reduction Berries

Consuming specific berries will reduce a Pokémon's EVs by 10 points per berry while also increasing its Friendship level.

Stat	Berry
HP	Pomeg
Attack	Kelpsy
Defense	Qualot
Special Attack	Hondew
Special Defense	Grepa
Speed	Tamato

Fresh-Start Mochi

Unlike EV-reducing berries which lower stats incrementally, Fresh-Start Mochi completely resets a Pokémon's Effort Values.

Fresh-Start Mochi

Resets all EVs to 0.

RECIPE : 1x Hearty Grain, 1x Honey Bottle, 1x Enigma Berry.

• Effect: Instantly wipes ALL EVs across every single stat back to 0.

• Best Used For: Pokémon that were raised normally during play and accrued random EV gains across multiple stats, saving you from having to feed them dozens of berries individual by individual.

Warning: Using a Fresh-Start Mochi cannot be undone! Make sure you actually want to clear the entire EV spread before using it.
