## 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.](https://wiki.mmorealms.gg/cobblemon-wiki/general-guides/complete-overview-of-berries)
### 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.

## 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.
