What Us the Red and Blue in the Stats Mean Lets Go

Pok�mon Stats

Details:
A Pok�mon's stats are one of the constant things across Pok�mon and since 2002, they have been exactly the same across all of the main games. However, Pok�mon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! have thrown things on their head with some major changes.

First off, there are some returning mainstays. All six of the Pok�mon's stats remain with the base stats being the same as previous main series titles. Natures return with the same effect as before and each Pok�mon also has the same Individual Value (IV) ranges as before. There is, however, a change. Effort Values are not included in this game.

Pok�mon Stats - Happiness

There's another brand new factor in Pok�mon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee!. Now, the Pok�mon's Happiness factors in to the Pok�mon's stats. If a Pok�mon has a maximum happiness, its stat points are increased by up to a further 10% taking Pok�mon to even stronger levels. This value scales depending on the Pok�mon's Happiness value, rounded to the next full stat value. You can check a Pok�mon's Happiness by your Rival's sister in Pallet Town

Percentage Boost	Minimum Happiness Value
10%	255
9%	230
8%	204
7%	179
6%	153
5%	128
4%	102
3%	77
2%	51
1%	26

Awakening Values (AVs)

Awakening Values work differently to Effort Values in that when you use a Candy on a Pok�mon, it will get a stat boost regardless of the Pok�mon's Level. Previously, Effort Values required you to get 4 Effort Points to get +1 Stat Point at Level 100, with calculations done at lower levels but now the stat boosts are there immediately. This changes things with how a Pok�mon is trained because they can now breach previous ceilings of stats.

For example, each AV gained provides 1 stat point. This is regardless of the Level of your Pok�mon, and you can have up to 200 AVs in each stat, with no upper boundary so you can have all stats maxed out. This means that you could easily have a low level Pok�mon with stats that it would have at say Level 100.

In these games, to boost a Pok�mon's stats, you don't train against wild Pok�mon. Instead, you obtain various Candy. This candy can be obtained by releasing Pok�mon, catching some Pok�mon and by completing mini-games in Pok�mon GO Park.

In the multiplayer, players can select between two rulesets. One which allows AVs and one which does not.

Getting AVs

Getting AVs is relatively simple. While each level you will get a random AV with each level up, you can boost them up even higher at various levels. This is done with Candy but each Candy has got specific minimum requirements and maximum usage. Plus, as you go through and get higher AVs in each stat, you end up requiring more Candy to get just 1 AV. For example, to get a Pok�mon to an AV of 49 from 48, you need to use 20 standard Candy rather than just one.

Each Candy stops being able to be used after a certain AV value which will require you to switch over to a stronger Candy. However, Species specific Candy has got no cap and doesn't require more Candy. It hits every stat as +1

Candy	Level Requirement	AV Cap	Candy Needed from 0 AVs to Cap	Candy Needed from Lower Candy Cap to Cap
Regular Candy	Lv. 1+	50 AVs	426
L Candy	Lv. 30+	100 AVs	218	168
XL Candy	Lv. 60+	200 AVs	545	445
Species Candy	Lv. 1+	200 AVs	200

It's always more advisable to go for the Species Candy, but that Candy is very hard to find, especially in regards to Legendary and Mythical Pok�mon, as it's only available by Catch Comboing the species of Pok�mon, transferring them, or walking with them in the Pok� Ball Plus. Due to this, here's a chart of required candy for each option.

Method	Candy	L Candy	XL Candy	Total Per Stat	Total Required
Use All Three Candy	426	168	445	1039	6234
Use Candy L & Candy XL		218	445	663	3978
Use Candy XL			545	545	3270

If your Pok�mon already has some AVs on it, either from other candy and levelling, you can still use Species Candy and it'll keep boosting stats until all stats are at 200 AVs, even if one stat reaches 200 before the rest.
