A stat is floor((2 x Base + IV + floor(EV/4)) x Level/100), plus Level + 10 for HP or plus 5 then times the nature for other stats. A level 50 Adamant Garchomp with base 130 Attack, 31 IV and 252 EVs reaches 200 Attack; with no EVs it would have 165.
Trainers planning an EV spread need to know what each block of effort values actually buys. Every 4 EVs add at most one point before level scaling, so at level 50 it takes about 8 EVs per point, and some EVs land between breakpoints and do nothing. Enter a base stat, IV, EVs, level and, for non-HP stats, the nature effect, and the calculator returns the final stat, the value with zero EVs, the maximum possible, the fewest EVs that give the same number and how many more you would need for the next point. It uses the formula from Generation III onward, so it does not cover the older stat-experience system of Red, Blue, Gold and Silver, and it ignores in-battle stat stages, items and abilities.
HP uses its own formula and no nature; the other five share one formula with the nature multiplier.
Use the species base value and the level you will battle at, often 50 for VGC or 100 for singles.
Drag the IV slider from 0 to 31 and type the EVs invested in this stat, up to 252.
Check the fewest EVs for the same stat and the extra EVs for one more point to trim waste from your spread.
Result Final stat: 289
Same stat with 0 EVs: 275
Points added by EVs: 14
Maximum (31 IV, 252 EV): 329
Fewest EVs for this stat: 72
Extra EVs for +1 point: 2
Nature multiplier: neutral (x1.0)
The textbook example from the stat formula article. Only 72 of the 74 EVs actually matter here.
Result Final stat: 193
Same stat with 0 EVs: 176
Points added by EVs: 17
Maximum (31 IV, 252 EV): 226
Fewest EVs for this stat: 88
Extra EVs for +1 point: 1
Nature multiplier: neutral (x1.0)
Defense from the same worked example, with no nature change applied.
Result Final stat: 200
Same stat with 0 EVs: 165
Points added by EVs: 35
Maximum (31 IV, 252 EV): 200
Fewest EVs for this stat: 252
Extra EVs for +1 point: none (at cap)
Nature multiplier: boosting (x1.1)
The usual competitive spread: 31 IV, 252 EVs and a boosting nature on base 130 Attack.
HP = floor((2B + I + floor(E/4)) x L/100) + L + 10; Other = floor((floor((2B + I + floor(E/4)) x L/100) + 5) x N)
BIELNEach floor truncates toward zero, which is why EVs come in useful steps rather than smoothly. The tool searches every EV value from 0 to 252 to find the smallest amount that still reaches your stat and the next amount that raises it. Shedinja, with base HP 1, always has 1 HP.
The formula divides EVs by 4 and drops the remainder, so 252 gives 63 points while 253 to 255 still give 63. Since Generation VI the per-stat cap was set to 252 to stop that waste.
Roughly 8. At level 50 the inner value is halved, so you need two extra quarter-points, which is 8 EVs, for one point on the final stat. The first point can come after just 4 EVs if the IV leaves an odd total, which is why many spreads use 4 leftover EVs.
It multiplies the stat by 1.1 after level scaling and the +5, then drops decimals. A neutral 182 becomes 200 with a boosting nature and 163 with a hindering one.
HP adds the level plus 10 instead of a flat 5, and no nature changes it. That makes HP noticeably larger than other stats with the same base value.
Yes. Scarlet and Violet, Sword and Shield and every main game since Ruby and Sapphire use the same formula, so the result should equal the summary screen when you enter the correct EVs and IVs.
When fewer EVs would give the same final stat, the extra ones are wasted. The warning tells you how many you can move to another stat without losing a point here.
