Effort level: Difference between revisions

Effort levels, referred to internally as Ganbaru values, are a mechanic introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Effort levels take the place of effort values from previous games.

Gaining effort levels

The Pokémon's original effort level for each stat is based on its IV for that stat.

Calculation

Effort level bonus

The effort level bonus (ELB) is a bonus added directly to the Pokémon's stat.

The effort level bonus is calculated as follows. ${\displaystyle ELB={\frac {{\sqrt {Base}}*Multiplier+Level}{2.5}}}$ where:

• ${\displaystyle Base}$ is the Pokémon species' base stat for that stat
• ${\displaystyle Multiplier}$ is the effort level multiplier
• ${\displaystyle Level}$ is the Pokémon's level

The effort level multiplier is determined from the effort level as follows:

Stat calculation

The Pokémon's stats are calculated using the following formulae.

${\displaystyle HP={\big (}{\frac {Level}{100}}+1{\big )}\cdot Base+Level+ELB}$

${\displaystyle Otherstat={\frac {({\frac {Level}{50}}+1)\cdot Base}{1.5}}\cdot Nature+ELB}$
