How do Power items work in Scarlet/Violet?

Question

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how much EVs do they really give? Lets say I have a Ralts holding a power weight, If I fight a Chansey it’ll give me 10 Evs because Chansey gives 2 EVs by default and the power weight gives 4 EVs per EV. But if I fight a Blissey it should give me 15 EVs because Blissey gives 3 EVs making it so I have to fight around ~17 Blisseys to get 252 EVs, however I find it that even after fighting 17 Blisseys it is still not enough and I have to fight around ~23 to max out my Pokemon’s EVs. So how many HP EVs would a Blissey really give if my Pokemon was holding a power weight?

Pokemon scarlet

Answer 1

If a Pokémon holding a Power item gains experience from a battle, the Power item awards it additional EVs in a specific stat (in addition to the EVs it would normally earn). From Generation IV to VI, they grant 4 extra EVs; in Generation VII onward, they grant 8 EVs. The EVs granted by Power items are doubled by the effect of Pokérus.

So since this is S / V, the Power Weight would award you 8 extra EVs. It doesn’t reward you 4 EVs per EV the Pokémon grants. Fighting Blissey should give you 11 EVs. So it makes sense why you have to face 23 Blissey’s to Max out your HP EVs, since 23 X 11 = 253. Hope I helped!
