    I get pokemon that are "Highly Persistant" what stat does it raise?
     
    those statments have no affect on the game. the vers "admant/brave/relaxed ect. change stats. those phrases are like flavor text.
     
    Actually that little flavour text is something of value in this game. It isn't there to look pretty and serves a purpose. It is basically describe which is your Pokemon's highest IV stat. Here is what they all mean:

    HP: Loves to eat, often dozes off, often scatters things, scatters things often, likes to relax

    ATK: Proud of its power, likes to thrash about, a little quick tempered, likes to fight, quick tempered

    DEF: Sturdy body, capable of taking hits, highly persistent, good endurance, good perseverance

    S. ATK: Highly curious, mischievous, thoroughly cunning, often lost in thought, very finicky

    S. DEF: Strong willed, somewhat vain, strongly defiant, hates to lose, somewhat stubborn

    SPEED: Likes to run, alert to sounds, impetuous and silly, somewhat of a clown, quick to flee
