Hi guys,
I don't really get it with the Pokemon Stats.
I have catched a Corviknight and trainend it for a while. Attached are its Stats. Level 71.
Also I've catched a Corviknight from a Dynamax Raid. Level 70.
When I look at the Attack Stats now. It says that it is best for the Dynamax Corviknight, however the Stat is much lower than the Attack Stat from the other Corviknight where it saids "just" fantastic.
So why does it say "Best" with the Dynamax Corviknight even the Attack is so low?
May you help me with that descriptions?
I'll explain too, maybe it's clearer for you then.
To get to what you want to know, I'll explain everything about stats. Basically, each of a Pokémon's stats is determined by 4 factors:
1.
The base stat value, a number for each stat. All Pokémon of the same species have the same base stats, and they tell you, in general, which stat is high or low for that species, and how it compares to other species. You can't see them ingame, but you can find them on Bulbapedia, the Pokémon wiki. Roughly speaking, a Pokémon's stats at level 50 will be about the same as its species' base stats (except HP, it's calculated differently).
For example, Cinderace has base Speed 119, while Inteleon has base Speed 120. Both of these are high, so you can usually expect both of them to be faster than an opponent, and Inteleon will usually be a bit faster than Cinderace. Copperajah on the other hand has base Speed 40, so it's usually very slow.
However, as you surely have seen, different Rookidee you catch often have different stats from each other. How stats grow for an individual Pokémon is determined by the remaining 3 factors, which correspond to talent, hard work and personality.
2.
Individual values (also called IVs or individual strengths) are 6 numbers, one for each stat, that every individual Pokémon has. They work as a "talent meter", and are what the judge function tells you is "No Good", "Fantastic" or "Best" - an IV can be any number from 0 (no good) to 31 (best). If two Pokémon are the same in everything but an IV in a stat, the one with higher IVs will have that stat higher, but not by a lot. IVs don't change stats drastically, but they are noticeable.
3.
Effort values, also called EVs or base points, are points collected by a Pokémon as it is trained that slowly raise its stats. They model hard work and excercise.
They are the reason why trained Pokémon are stronger than freshly caught ones of the same level, like your two Corviknight: the one you had for a long time has much higher Attack than the one you caught in a raid because you battled a lot with her and excercised her Attack stat, even though her talent for Attack is lower than the newcomer's - she worked hard to become stronger.
EVs can raise stats significantly, much more than IVs. A Copperajah trained a lot in Speed can become as fast as averagely fast Pokémon, even though Copperajah are usually very slow. EVs have limits, though, so it'll never be as fast as Inteleon.
More precisely about EVs:
4. Finally, an individual's Nature affects stats. Each Nature lowers one stat by 10% (indicared by its name being blue in the stats screen) and raises another by 10% (the red one). If the two stats it raises and lowers are the same, it doesn't change anything.
And that's why your new Corviknight is weaker despite being talented. If you train her, she'll probably end up with slightly higher Attack than your old one.
Hope this helped you!
