Berry question

[DFK]

I have a question about the Berries that decrease EVs. Does the berry reduce the actual stat or just the EV count? For example, would using a Pomeg Berry reduce a Pokemon's HP stat by 2 or 3 points, or just the EV by 10?

I know theres something about this on the main site....

I think that the berries just reduce the EVS but not the stat.

It depends on the level the pokemon is and the amount of Ev's the pokemon has. For example if the pokemons full ev trained and on lv 100, the stat will lower for sure(dont know the number it lowers, I think it's random). But if the pokemon is on a low level and hasn't been ev trained a lot, you wont see a difference.

In other words, it lowers the EV's, not the stat.
Btw Hank, if the Pokémon is at lvl 100, with full EV training, it will go down by 2 points from one berry. Another berry will make it go down 3 points.

The stat may lower if it's far along enough that the EV's will have taken effect. Basically what the others have said, but more clear.

Okay, I think I understand how it works now. Thanks for the help.

To add to what Chaos Emerald said, they don't lower the stat if the Pokemon already likes you.

Alright this is answered. And just for reference next time, use the EV Sticky that we have, as this is where this kind of question should have went.
