Welcome to the EV compendium! This resource is aimed at teambuilders aiming to find that extra advantage as sometimes a few tweaks can go a long way and surviving that extra hit can turn the tides in a battle. Many of the best Pokémon in National Dex Ubers have a lot of flexibility in their EV spreads and this resource help you find one that works best for your team. This is a starting point and more Pokémon may be added in the future. If there are any mistakes or benchmarks you'd like to add please contact a council member to update the compendium.
