What is with EV gains?

Question

I've always wondered what the game means by "a little" and "a lot".

Which game are you asking about?

Ultra Sun-Moon.

I can't even figure out the details of what you're asking. "What is with EV gains" isn't very clear, and your description doesn't help.
Is it just me?

---

No Flappers, me too.

Does this help in any way?

Nuivo, this question is so incredibly vague, are you sure this is *all* you can give us? What says "a little" and "a lot" in USUM relating to EVs?

---

Where does the game say "a little" and "a lot"?

---

A(n) >item<. It raises the Pokemon's >stat< a little/lot.

---

Can you give some examples on which items it says that?

In festival plaza Friendship Parlor *****:
Sweets Set (A-F) a Lot

When the game says “a little” or “a lot”, it doesn’t always mean a certain number. It’s like asking “what number do people mean when they say ‘some’?” Usually when the game says “a little” it means 1-4 EVs. “A lot” can mean 4-252.
