What are EV's and IV's in pokemon no links please just blunt quick answers?

Answer 1

EVs are effert values and IVs are inherted values each of which boosts stats

EVs

Every pokemon has got different EVs. When you defeat and pokemon, all of the pokemon that get experience gets those EVs. For example,

If you defeat a Pidgey you get 1 EV to Speed

If you defeat a Rhyhorn you get 1 EV to Defense

If you defeat a Dialga you get 3 Evs to Attack

If you defeat a Shuckle you get 1 EV to Defense and 1 EV to Special Defense

Every 4 EVs you get, that stat will increase by 1 so if you defeat 4 Pidgeys with a Snorunt, the Snorunt's Speed will increase by 1 when it reaches level 100. Before that, there will still be an increase in Speed but not as much as when Snorunt reaches level 100. Then you will get the full force of EVs...

Rules: Each pokemon can have a maximum of 510 EVs and 255 EVs in one stat.

IVs are a lot more complicated. I would strongly suggest looking at the related link. Even though it looks complicated, it's as simple as it gets.

IVs basically affect why two equally levelled pokemon with the same nature, using the same move with the same effectiveness will do different damage on each pokemon. But seriously... SEE THE LINK!
