Effort level

The Pokémon's original effort level for each stat is based on its IV for that stat.

Effort levels can then be raised further by using "Grit" items. The item needed depends on the current effort level of the stat to be raised:

These items are found by releasing Pokémon, dropped by certain Pokémon after defeating them (such as Alpha Pokémon), or by exchanging lower tier versions of them at the Training Area in Jubilife Village.

The Pokémon's stats are calculated using the following formulae. The final values are rounded to the nearest integer.

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}HP&=\left\lfloor ({Level \over 100}+1)\times Base+Level\right\rfloor +ELB\\OtherStat&=\left\lfloor {\Bigl \lfloor }{\frac {({\frac {Level}{50}}+1)\times Base}{1.5}}{\Bigr \rfloor }\times Nature\right\rfloor +ELB\\\\ELB&={\frac {{\sqrt {Base}}\times Multiplier+Level}{2.5}}\end{aligned}}}$

where:

• ${\displaystyle Base}$ is the Pokémon species' base stat for that stat
• ${\displaystyle Level}$ is the Pokémon's level
• ${\displaystyle Nature}$ is 0.9 if the Pokémon's has a hindering Nature, 1.1 if it has a helpful Nature, and 1 otherwise.
• ${\displaystyle ELB}$ is the effort level bonus, directly added to the Pokémon's stat.
  • ${\displaystyle Multiplier}$ is the effort level multiplier, which is determined from the effort level as follows:

0	0
1	2
2	3
3	4
4	7
5	8
6	9
7	14
8	15
9	16
