EVs, or Effort Values, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are kinda like gym workouts for your Pokémon. When your Pokémon wins battles, it gets EV points in specific stats, making it stronger. Each Pokémon you defeat gives different EVs. For example, beating a Zubat might boost your Speed EVs. There’s a cap, though! A Pokémon can only gain a total of 510 EV points and a max of 252 in any one stat. So, it's all about strategy in choosing which battles to pick to shape your Pokémon’s growth!

EVs? Overrated. Just enjoy the adventure without getting too caught up in the numbers game.

Just think of EVs as hidden points that make your Pokémon beefier in certain stats. Beat wild Pokémon to earn 'em!
