While playing Pokemon Legends: ZAOne thing to keep in mind, especially if you plan on participating in ranked battles, is your Pokémon's stats. In most cases, if you just want to progress through the game, there's no need to worry. This is because if you level up your Pokemon enough, it can help you complete most of the main missions.
That said, if you want to make your team as powerful as possible, it's a good idea to look at your Pokémon's personalities, IVs, and EVs. All of these play an important role in increasing your Pokemon's base stats, and can make a big difference when taking on tough opponents.
What are the six Pokemon stats?
Every Pokemon in every Pokemon game has the following statistical breakdowns: Six different statistics. The six statistics are:
- HP — Total health. Indicates the amount of damage you can receive before passing out.
- speed — How quickly a Pokémon's moves recharge.
- attack — The power of physical attacks moves.
- special attack — The power of special attacks moves.
- defense — Physical attack resistance.
- special defense — Special attack resistance.
Overall, each is important, but you can't always focus on all six, so you have to decide what's more important to your team and each Pokémon. For example, if you're using a Pokémon that has a special attack stat and only has special attack moves, it's probably not that important to worry about that Pokémon's attack stat.
How does speed work in Legends: ZA?
For Pokemon Legends: ZA, although all other statistics in this game always work the same. Speed is the only thing that has changed significantly. Because ZA is not turn-based, you no longer have to worry about who will attack first.
Instead, speed decides. How fast is the cooldown?. When you look at an action, it usually lists a cooldown time. This time, it's not actually how long it takes for the Pokémon to be able to use this move again. The time indicated for the trip is a guideline.Alternatively, this is the maximum time required to recharge, so it will not take longer to recharge than listed.
The current guess is Speed has a 3 second cooldown.. This means that a Pokemon with incredible speed could theoretically use a 9-second cooldown to move with just a 3-second cooldown. So whether it is important to the team is up to you, but it is something to keep in mind when dealing with opponents.
What is a Pokémon's personality and how does it affect its statistics?
When you first catch a Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: ZA, it will automatically have certain traits. You might think of this as almost like a personality, but here's what it actually does: Raise one stat and lower another stat. For example, Adamant Nature increases a Pokémon's physical attack stat while lowering its special attack stat. in other words, Nature does not change HP.
Every stat combination has a nature, so this includes natures that affect the same stats. For example, a serious personality speeds up or slows down. That's why, and because there are five statistics: There are five neutral personalities that counteract their influence.
there is A total of 25 different personalitiesIncluded is one for every combination you can think of, including:

How to change a Pokemon's personality
Considering that the wild Pokémon you catch likely doesn't have the exact personality you want, you're probably looking for a way to change that. Fortunately, there is a way to change it to your liking, and it's relatively simple.
Throughout Lumiose, you've probably seen traders selling a variety of goods at their market stalls. One of the items for sale is Mints that can be used to change a Pokémon's personality. each Mint will have a name like nature The Adamant Mint changes a Pokémon's personality to Adamant, as it changes your Pokémon to:
Not all vendors sell all mints available.So, depending on which mint you are interested in, you will need to go to the specific mint. Also, no matter which mint you buy; All mints cost 20,000 Pokemon Dollars each.. So you'll need at least 120,000 to change the personality of your entire team.
Mint Seller Always street stall covered with flowersThis can be an easy way to identify them.

What is the best Pokemon personality?
Unfortunately, There is no one best natureBecause each Pokémon must be evaluated individually. That said, there are a few common paths people take, and that's having a humble and assertive personality. For this you essentially Strengthens one of the special or physical attacks and debuffs the other. It's based on Pokemon.
If you use something like Feraligatr, you'll be prioritizing physical attack moves. So your best bet is to take advantage of this by using Adamant Nature to further strengthen your physical attacks. There's no real loss in lowering Special Attack since you only use, or at least need to use, Physical Attack moves, and the same concept is true for Special Attack Pokemon.
Of course, there are benefits to increasing speed, especially in ZA, but ultimately There are no wrong choices. It's simply a matter of what works best for you, and you can always change to a different Mint if you need to.
What are IV and EV?
Now that we've discussed statistics and nature, it's also important to know the last two more complex ways you can manipulate your Pokemon's stats. The IV, or individual value, is: Pokemon's unique abilities. This is what makes a Pokémon different from other Pokémon, and unfortunately, Pokémon can be either near-perfect or absolute garbage.
Unfortunately there is no way to check this while playing through ZA. But once you get to ZA's post-game, things are different. After what I thought was the end of the storyThe menu displays a message indicating the following: You can now check your Pokémon IV.
while I can't get exact numbers from 0 to 31. You'll see text telling you whether your IV for each stat is good, bad, or best. The values and corresponding phrases are:
|
paragraph |
Individual Value (IV) |
|---|---|
|
best! |
31 (perfect) |
|
fantastic |
30 |
|
charming |
26-29 |
|
pretty good |
16-25 |
|
elegant |
1-15 |
|
not good |
It would be ideal if the Pokémon had perfect IVs, but that is very rare. That said, there is a way to fix it. If you've been playing through ZA for a while, you've probably started earning. bottle cap. These aren't new to ZA, but if you're unfamiliar, here's what they look like: This is an item that can be exchanged for training purposes to fix a Pokemon's IV.
In legend: ZA; This takes place in the Justice Dojo, but only after the game is over.. Take the Pokémon you want to train. Minimum level 50Go to the Judge Dojo and exchange the bottle cap for Hyper Training. Hyper Training improves one stat.So a single Pokemon requires multiple. Obviously, there's no need to hypertrain something that already has perfect IVs.
You can obtain several gold bottle caps through Mabel's research and side missions. Using this will hypertrain all of your Pokémon's IVs at once, rather than just one stat at a time.
With all this in mind, it's time to talk about EVs. EV or Effort value is the part of each stat that has a direct impact.. To check this, go to the original location. Check the IV in the Pokémon summary, then use the right stick to toggle down.
This will display a secondary overview showing the location of all EVs in the middle of the stats. If any of your stats are flashing, this means they are maxed out. In terms of EV. In the case of electric vehicles, You can earn a total of 510 points. Spread across a variety of statistics. The cap for each stat is 252 points..
In the end, this means You can max out two statsIf you want, throw your few remaining points elsewhere. If you are not satisfied with the position of the object when you look at it, You can reset the values to add points wherever you want. them. The most common way to do so is with berries.
Some berries have descriptions that explain the stats that can remove points from them.So, if you don't like the points in a particular stat, just eat that berry. That said, if you want to wipe the slate clean, here's an easier way: Visit Rust Syndicate. There is a counter on the right just inside the office building. A clerk who will reset your EV for you.
Once everything is reset, You can use feathersFound throughout Lumiose, your stats will begin to increase. But more effectively, You can also use vitaminsIt's harder to get though After clearing the game, I purchased it at the Pokemon Center.
There's also the classic way to train your EVs, which involves defeating Pokémon and using items you have that increase the EV points you earn. Each Pokémon in the game rewards a certain stat point when defeated, so depending on which stat you want to increase, you can hunt wild Pokémon that reward that stat and repeatedly spawn and defeat them until the EV for that stat is maxed out.
As mentioned, there are items on hand known as training items that double EV points when defeating a Pokémon. These can be obtained through side missions or purchased from Quasartico Inc. after the game.
With all of this in mind, you're ready to work with your team to make them the best they can be for future battles and the Pokémon Legends: ZA DLC.
