Do EXP Candies Increase EVs in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? - Answered (2024)

FAQs

Do exp candies increase EVs? ›

Rare/Exp. candies just raise the level or experience of your Pokémon without the EV gain. It's always been like that, they never had other effects on your Pokémon.

The rare candies themselves don't harm stats, but pokemon raised solely on candy will not gain any EVs, which will result in lower total stats than pokemon that have been EV trained. So, candies are safe, but remember to get your EVs set up later if you raise one with only candy.

Are you still able to EV train a Pokémon in Scarlet/Violet once they hit level 100? Yes.

Best answer. Absolutely, you should use EXP Candy in Pokemon Violet! They're like a fast track for your Pokemon's growth. Especially if you're trying to level up a Pokemon that's lagging behind your main squad, or if you're prepping for a big battle and need a quick boost.

Sadly, if you want to EV train your pokemon you have to take them out individually because the EXP share does spread EVs to them all. You have no choice since you can't turn the EXP share off. Thanks! This is how it's worked in every game in the entire series.

Every 4 EVs = 1 point added to the stat at level 100. You can have up to 252 EVs on one stat, so you have the ability to increase a stat by 63. For example, a Charizard has a base Special Attack of 109, so if you EV train for SpA you're increasing that stat almost 60%.

Candies XL needed to bring a level 1 Pokémon to level 100 depends on the experience group the Pokémon is in: Erratic: 20. Fast: 27. Medium Fast: 34.

Candies are a type of medicine that increase a Pokémon's experience by a fixed amount when used.

Maximum of 510 EVs per Pokemon

While a single stat can only earn 252 EVs, a single Pokemon can only have a total of 510 EVs spread across all stats.

Rare Candies don't affect EVs at all. If you use one before you finish, they will still be there.

Are Pokémon weaker with Rare Candy? ›

Rare Candies do not make a Pokemon weaker, they only raise their levels. They do not affect EVs in any way. If you were to complete a Pokemon's EV points by using only Vitamins, only battles or a mix, then you could use Rare Candies to finish leveling the Pokemon.

no, stats are calculated depending on ivs and evs. Technically speaking, yes. This is because leveling up normally will give you EVs which will (eventually) increase your stats, while Rare Candy doesn't. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't use Rare Candies.

Rare Candies prevent you from gaining EV's as you level up, making your pokemon weaker overall. However, they're pretty useful in-game because you gain EV's throughout the game. Besides, three levels would make nearly no difference.

Level 100 Pokemon don't gain any EVs from battling. They can gain EVs from Vitamins though, and lose EVs with the special Berries, which will change the Pokemon's actual stats on the fly. This means you can technically get an Effort Ribbon for a level 100 Pokemon, but you must apply Vitamins across all stats.
