@mushi Let's start from the beginning. There are 4 main things to consider when it comes to building a Pokemon's stats. Base Stats, Nature, Effort Values (EVs) and Individual Values (IVs). base stats are determined by Species, and are usually used to determine what any given Pokemon will be good at naturally. Nature gives an automatic 10% boost to one stat and a 10% decrease in another. Effectively, this allows you to drop a stat you're not using (most Pokemon have at least one), in favor of one you need more of. Effort Values are not visible, but contribute to the growth of stats alongside Base Stats. IVs are the least important, as they are difficult to control, and usually only result in a couple points difference. Stop me if I'm going too fast
