I am EV training my SHELGON(f) on attack, but now, it gives only 1-0 added stats. Why?

Mar. 28, 2016

As the title says,I am training on shuppets. When it leveled up to 40 (106 attack stats) I battled about 33 shuppets, it only gave me +3 in attack when it leveled up to 41

I know the calculation 4 EV=1 stat,

My friend told me that maybe it was maxed, I dont know… I am still recieving additional attack stats…

Please someone explain why is that. Thanks :)

33 ÷ 4 = 8.25

Mathematically speaking, yes you should have gotten more than 3 stat points. However, you don’t gain all of the EV stat points at once. The effect is spread out as you level up. For example, my Lv 4 Spearow may have 252 Speed EVs, but he does not gain 63 extra Speed points when he grows to Lv 5. It is spread out over the course of levelling up. Seeing as your Shelgon in only Lv 41, I would not be surprised to find the 5 points you didn’t receive added at level 42 or 43.

If I missed the point entirely… please let me know!
