Question

Let's say I came across a lvl 15 Basculin which gives 2 EVs in Speed, I send out a lvl 1 Torchic with a Power Anklet then switch out to a more powerful pokemon. Will both pokemon receive 2 EVs in speed or will it be split? Will my Torchic still receive the bonus from the power anklet?

Answer 1

Unlike experience points, which are reduced when multiple Pokémon are receiving experience, effort points are awarded equally to all Pokémon who participated in defeating a Pokémon. Though they are shared, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points.

Because his answer is incorrect.

? How is my answer wrong.... it's the same as yours.

You are saying that with 2 points, each of the 2 Pokemon would get one. I'm sayng that both would get 2 points each.
