Learn about the Calculator in Pokémon Platinum, obtained with the Poketech, used for steps, EVs, and stats.
The Calculator is automatically received with the Poketech (a device that displays information on your Nintendo DS's bottom screen, often including a minimap (a small map of your immediate surroundings)). Its primary functions include quickly figuring out the number of steps needed before an egg hatches, and calculating Effort Values (EVs) and stats. It can also be used in match classes, though its capabilities are limited to basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and decimals. For a bit of fun, you can try dividing any number by zero.
