Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A  What's the meaning of
255 EVs ?  0 votes  What's the point that the max EV in one stat
is 255 when with 252 you have reached the max stats ?  asked Mar
29, 2011 by GAMEBEATER In informatics, 255 is some kind of holy
number It means that you wasted 1 stat point on your beloved
pokemon.  2 Answers  2 votes Best answer  It is 255 because that
allows for 256 values (0-255). Although it may seem random, 256
is actually a round number in computers because it is a power of
2 (2^8 to be exact).  But because 4 EVs make 1 stat point, you
can't use all 255, that's why there are some left over. What you
need to do is save those 3 EVs and put them towards something
else.  answered Mar 30, 2011 by Pokemaster 1 vote  Pokemon earn
EV's when they beat another pokemon. Different pokemon give
yours different Ev's. When your pokemon levels up, the amount of
EVs that it has gotten will affect how much each stat will go
up. If a pokemon has a max of 255 EV's, then that stat can't
earn mor
